With each passing week it gets harder to understand why “traditional” liberal Democrats continue to defend the indefensible. I get why Progressives support the policies put forth by the Biden administration. They don’t like the USA. They want to see it fail. But I know a lot of “traditional” liberals who love our country as much as anyone. That they continue to vote for candidates who are tearing at the very fiber of our country is confounding.

Hypocrisy. Donald Trump slowed the flood of illegals entering into our country to a trickle. While he was doing that, scores of cities declared themselves sanctuary cities. Their representatives wasted no time declaring their moral superiority over those of us who thought Trump’s policies on illegal immigration were effective. A statement from the city of Chicago declared, “Our welcoming city ordinance means that the city will not ask about your immigration status, disclose that information to authorities, or, most importantly, deny you city services based on your immigration status. Mayor Adams of New York said: “To anyone in the world fleeing hatred and oppression, the ultimate city of immigrants wants you to remember, you are always welcome here. Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has repeatedly defended the sanctuary city status declared in her city. The most hypocritical stance of all was taken by the heroic people of Martha’s Vineyard. The virtue signaling multimillionaires had for years posted signs on businesses and in their yards declaring their holier than thou messages. Signs that proclaimed: “Hate has no home here” and “No human is illegal.” But the coup de gras was the sign that promised: “We stand with immigrants. All are welcome here.” Aren’t they the salt of the earth? It seems that all of the people above love illegal immigrants. Until they show up in their cities.

Mayor Bowser immediately, and repeatedly, warned that her city was being overrun by a few thousand illegals. Chicago Mayor, Lori Lightweight, complained that Texas Governor, Abbott, hadn’t communicated sufficiently with her before sending 300 illegals to her city. 300! She felt terrible about the unknown trek to Chicago that the illegals were forced to endure. She then promptly bussed 100 of them to 2 Chicago suburbs, without informing the Mayors of their arrival. New York wins a double hypocrisy award. Hypocrisy 1: The city, just this week, fired hundreds of school teachers who refused to get vaccinated for COVID. At the same time city officials meet illegals as they get off busses with a handshake. Of course there is no way of knowing if any of the illegals have been vaccinated, or if they actually have COVID. Hypocrisy 2: The federal government was flying illegals into New York and Florida in the middle of the night for months. Nary a peep from N.Y. Democrats, or the complicit main street media. When Governor Abbott busses illegals into N.Y. he is immediately called a racist by both groups. I saved the best for last. The award for hypocrisy goes to the phonies in Martha’s Vineyard. When they saw the plane land, they were terrified they would be overwhelmed with illegals. Then their greatest fears were realized when 50 illegals deplaned. Not 500. Not 5,000. 50! The island’s homeless coordinator said: “We don’t have the services to take care of 50 immigrants and we certainly don’t have housing.” Because of the lack of services she said the illegals “will have to go somewhere else.” Most of the mansions on the island are only occupied from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Certainly the Obamas, Oprah Winfrey, and Larry David, could have housed half of these illegals all by themselves. The rich people all agreed that unless the illegals arrived with a mop, or a pool skimmer, they would have to be removed from the island. Less than 48 hours later, they were gone.

Hysteria. Mayor Bowser declared an emergency and twice asked the President to order out the National Guard to help the city deal with the “crisis”. Mayor Lightweight called the infusion of 300 illegals a humanitarian “crisis”. Mayor Adams has also called the illegals a humanitarian “crisis”. The Governor of Massachusetts called out the National Guard to help vacate the 50 illegals. Martha’s Vineyard’s twitter page last Friday posted a press release that read: To our Island community, here is an update on the current humanitarian “crisis” in Martha’s Vineyard. Remember that Texas and Arizona have had to deal with millions of illegals entering their states since Biden took office.

Hyperbole. The President, Vice President, Head of Homeland Security, and the main stream media have all insisted that our southern border is secure. Policemen, firemen, medical professionals, and teachers have all been fired for not being vaccinated. All the while millions of illegals have been allowed to enter our country without an inkling of an idea as to their health status. The federal government has flown and bussed countless numbers of illegals to cities all over the country. Unless you watch FOX News you have no idea any of this is going on. There has been no news outlets filming the activity on the southern border. Yet when Republican Governors send a few thousand illegals to “sanctuary cities” the mainstream media lights up like the 4th of July. There was nearly as many reporters taking pictures of the illegals on Martha’s Vineyard as there were illegals! This is a good place to introduce another phony. California Governor, Gavin Newsom, has petitioned the Dept. of Justice. He is asking it to investigate if kidnapping charges might be brought against Governors Abbott and DeSantis. Apparently Newsom thinks kidnapping only occurs when Republicans are involved. He never queried the DOJ when the President was shipping illegals all over the country. Newsom would be speechless if he couldn’t use statements steeped in hyperbole.

Americans who get all of their news from the main stream media have been completely uninformed of the real humanitarian crisis taking place along our southern border. Hundreds of illegals have died while trying to come to the U.S. Their deaths have gone unnoticed. Sending illegals to all of the above mentioned sanctuary cities has resulted in vile name-calling for Abbott and Florida Governor DeSantis. The Democrat mayors of the cities have vilified them. Of course that means the media lapdogs had to join in. The Biden administration has completely mismanaged the border since taking office. That mismanagement has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of illegals and tens of thousands of Americans through opioid overdose deaths. There is no way to determine the potential threat to the safety of Americans that is created by the hundreds of thousands of “gotaways”. We have no way of knowing who they are or what evil they may perpetrate on our country. The actions of the two Governors is beginning to solve one pervasive problem. It has brought this national security issue into the light of day. Thanks to their actions, Americans are finally becoming aware of the terrible debacle happening on our southern border. It is way past time.
