After Texas and Arizona brought thousands of migrants to the nation’s capital, D.C. is now in a state of emergency, and Mayor Muriel Bowser has pledged $10,000 to build a new office to deal with the problem.
The Democratic mayor of Washington, D.C. stated that she would request reimbursement from the federal government for the expense of establishing a support office for organizations that offer migrants with food, shelter, and medical care.
Thursday, the mayor of Washington, D.C. issued a public emergency.
She insisted before that the National Guard be activated to aid D.C. officials with the migratory crisis afflicting the city and overflowing homeless shelters. These requests were refused twice to Bowser.
The nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. After thousands of migrants were bused to the nation’s capital from Texas and Arizona, Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a national emergency on Thursday and set aside $10 million for a new office to address the problem.
Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona began sending busloads of asylum-seekers to Washington, D.C. to divert attention away from the border problem and onto the president and Congress.
The Republican governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, initiated the project transporting migrants to Washington, D.C. by bus in mid-April and expanded its reach to New York City in August.
Abbott stated that the objective was to assist in mitigating the situation in border communities in the Lone Star State and to bring the crisis to the attention of lawmakers who make decisions affecting border states.
Both New York City and Washington, D.C. are so-called sanctuary cities, which have exceptionally permissive policies regarding cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.
Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Governor Abbott, revealed to DailyMail.com that more than 2,100 migrants have been transported from Texas to New York in 40 buses. Thousands more have come in Washington, D.C. in the past four and a half months.
In mid-May, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey followed Abbott’s lead and also began transporting migrants to Washington, D.C. via bus.
