DC Mayor Calls for National Guard to Address Migrants Transferred to Capital

-

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has reportedly requested to activate the D.C. to help with migrants being bused to the city from overwhelmed border states like Texas and .

In April, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the initiative in response to the 's decision to lift Title 42, a Trump-era policy that limited the number of migrants crossing the border.

“We are sending them to the United States' capital, where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” Abbott said at a press conference at the time.

However, now says that over 4,000 migrants have been dropped off in D.C. which has triggered a “humanitarian crisis” according to NBC4.

She has requested that the DC Armory, a multipurpose events venue be used as a processing center.

President Biden's campaign messaging coupled with a series of executive orders effectively triggered a tsunami of migrants at the Southern border that quickly overwhelmed officials and depleted necessary resources.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection's June Operational Report recorded a record number of 207,416 encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border, including a record amount of terrorist sightings. June marked the fourth consecutive month of more than 200,000 encounters.

With June's figures, there have now been 1,746,119 total encounters at the southern border in the 2022 fiscal year.

  1. Wow, what a big surprise that is!! And they still can’t see their way to closing the border. A bunch of morons!

  2. It’s simple Ms. Bowser, just erect a tent city around the White House. Biden will get rid of those illegal aliens immediately. If that fails, bus them all to his home in Delaware. If he complains simply tell him to make sandwiches for them since he is so very concerned about their well-being.

  3. The only solution to this crisis is to complete the wall at the southern border and not take your eyes off the northern border !
    Begin deportation immediately.
    Answer this question who is funding these illegals to pay the cartels thousands of dollars. If these people are fleeing a dangerous country they sure have a lot of money to pay smugglers to get them to the USA. Our political structure is appalling. The Democratic Party will do the unthinkable in hopes of influencing a new voter block! The Democratic Party wants to rule America with a one party system.

  4. I find it interesting that Mayor Bow Wow couldn’t come up with the National Guard for the “fake insurrection” but can put it together on a moment’s notice when the pressure is on.

  5. THE DCMayor just needs to deal with the situation like the rest of us have. SPeak to your brillant President and pressure him to close the border. It is not closed inspite of the jibberish he utters. We in the rest of the US have this issue esp in
    border states Tx, Ariz, Calif, N. M. Fla. We are bearing the brunt of the illegals that is totally unfair. This needs to stop and Joe Biden needs to be fired by impeachment or the 25th amendment. He doesnot have Ca that is an utter lie like
    everything he says. He has mental and incompetence issues of long long standing his entire political life 50 yrs worth.

  6. Provide invaders with Bowsers address. EDUCATE THEM TO FACT THAT SHE WANTS TO USE ARMED FORCE TO CORRAL THEM. THESE TWO FACED BIGOT, RACIST, ANTI AMERICAN HYPOCRITES DESERVE TO BE BEATEN BY THE ILLEGALS THEY WOOED and NOW WANT TO TURN AWAY. SEND THEM TO HOMES OF EVERY MAGGOT IN CORRUPT DC GOVERNMENT. Bowser is guilty of 1/6 conspiracy and is a traitor. All traitors need to be gone. She’d be great start. Every blue city mayor and their administrations should be fatal victims of the criminals they invited.

  7. ROTFLMAO! You rock, Greg! Keep those buses rolling until even Beijing Joe and the Progressives can’t ignore or lie about the problem any longer.

    Let’s go, Brandon! Remember in November; end the insanity.

  8. Why should we have to pay to control a city’s problem. The States have to manage their own issues with respect to the immigrant invasion the Federal Government fails to control.

  9. What the Demoncrats are imposing on boarder & adjacent states, they cannot stand when it’s them on the receiving end & are calling out the National Guard to protect them from their own truly humongous folly.
