Where did they think they'd put 10 million immigrants? Virtue signaling, cognitive dissonance, and stupidity hit home.
/In 2020 a majority — well, close to, anyway — voted to end Trump’s presidency and bring in an administration that promised to reverse Trump’s closed borders policy and to open them to the world, instead. They reaffirmed that decision in 2022, and seem likely to do so again in 2024. Six million “refugees” have already crossed the border since Biden opened the door, and millions more are coming, yet rather than welcome them, Democrats are now complaining that they can’t afford to house them. At the same time, they insist that nothing be done to stop the invasion.
NYC parents erupt over plans to put migrant shelter near school
Nearly 1,000 New Yorkers turned out to demand city officials halt their proposal that would open a free shelter for illegal aliens to take advantage of at the former St. John Villa Academy on Staten Island.
On Wednesday night, protestors held signs that read, "Send them back" and "Close our border," citing public safety concerns in the family-friendly area.
A large banner over the protest site read "NO F---ING WAY!"
New York City already has 206 shelters; however, that has proven to be inadequate to house the tens of thousands of migrants who illegally crossed the border and made their way to the Big Apple. Biden's damaging border policies have allowed illegal aliens to enter the U.S. consequence-free and reap many of the same benefits as legal citizens.
"Fifty (expletive) feet away is a school from Pre-K to 12 years old. Right here! That's (expletive), and that's not happening here," a protestor told PIX 11 News.
The city purchased the school in 2018 and, despite promising it had plans to re-open it as a school again, over 300 illegal immigrants are expected to move into the building within the next couple of days.
In response to the protests, Democratic Mayor Eric Adam's office released a statement, saying that despite the concerns, the site will still be used as a shelter for illegals.
"As we have emphasized repeatedly, with more than 100,000 asylum seekers that have come through our intake system since spring 2022 and hundreds more continuing to arrive in our city asking for shelter daily, New York City has been left largely alone to deal with a national crisis that demands difficult and swift decision-making. We have opened 206 sites, including 15 large-scale humanitarian relief centers, and are constantly searching for new places to give asylum seekers a place to rest their heads. Most recently, we located the vacant St. John Villa Academy as one of our respite sites for single women and adult families. We understand community concerns and want to assure them that we are working to ensure the site is well-managed. While New York City is leading the nation in welcoming asylum seekers, make no mistake, we cannot continue to do this alone. This crisis demands a broader national solution."
A self-created crisis with an obvious solution, but not one that will be employed.

Migrant smugglers were seen boasting how easy it is to illegally cross the border into America in a confronting clip showing a long line of men entering the U.S. smiling and waving at the camera.
The alarming footage, filmed on May 27 near Lukeville, Arizona, reveals a long line of migrant men casually climbing through a gap in the US-Mexico border wall and meeting no resistance or questioning.
A caption in Spanish accompanying the video reads: 'Achieving their goals, the gents' followed by two prayer emojis. Text overlaid on the video also describes the crossing as a 'desert adventure.'
The remote outpost where the video was taken is around two and a half hours from Tucson, which has become the busiest point of illegal entry into the country, with 1,300 people a day crossing into the US in this area, according to federal statistics.
