Illegal immigration is likely never more than heed between the two sides of our political class Republicans are accused of being xenophobic and racist Democrats are accused of wanting open borders in order to get more legal immigrants who are then going to vote Democrat the situation at the border also has been
Getting increasingly worse over the past few years under the Biden Administration border patrol agents have apprehended roughly 1,973 N2 illegal immigrants along the southwestern border in the past 11 months according to that is custom and Border Protection data all of this has now culminated in a battle between
Governor Greg Abbott of Texas and a handful of major cities like New York Los Angeles Chicago and Washington DC these cities have declared themselves Sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants regardless of their legal status the political leaders of these cities have been so open and generous in their message to illegal immigrants over the
Past few years the most obvious example of this is Mayor Eric Adams of New York City he campaigned on a promise of protecting illegal immigrants this is what he wrote on X formerly Twitter back in 2021 he said we should protect our immigrants period yes New York City will
Remain a sanctuary city under an Adams Administration and here is what Adams wrote back in August of 2022 to provide services for families that are here and that’s what we’re going to do and that’s what we our responsibility uh as a city you know I’m proud that this is a right to shelter
State and we’re going to continue to do that now however his tone is not so welcoming not after months of Governor Abbott sending buses full of illegal immigrants to New York City at least you see Governor Abbott in March of 2021 enacted operation Lone Star the governor deployed troops from the Texas Nation
Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety to the southwestern border increasingly funding for increased funding for border security designated Mexican drug cartels to an extent at least as foreign terrorist organizations and started his busing program the following year he has been busing immigrants illegal ones to these
Sanctuary cities ever since Abbot put this program in place in response to the Biden administration’s lack of action in response to the the crisis going on at the border Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden Administration to Washington
DC 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 so how did these cities react to Governor Abbott’s bus plan well let’s start with Eric Adams he
Now said that the influx of immigrants will destroy New York City this issue will destroy New York City destroy New York City we’re getting 10,000 migrants a month one time we were just getting Venezuela now we get Ecuador now we get Russian speaking coming through Mexico
Now we getting um western Africa now we getting people from from all over the globe have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City and everyone is saying it’s New York City’s problem every community in this city is
Going to be impacted we got a12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut every service in this city is going to be impacted but wait I thought we should protect and welcome every single immigrant what has happened here is this mayor Adams has felt the actual
Consequences of a legal and unlimited immigration now all the immigrants coming right now are in from Abbott’s buses not all of them in fact only about 18,500 are from operation lonar remember he said about 10,000 a month and that’s all of those but these paired with the open Sanctuary City policy well they
Have put New York City in a tough position and Adams is now feeling that since spring of 2022 more than 110,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in New York City saying they need some help and the mayor’s office says that approximately 10,000 Asylum Seekers are still arriving again in the city every
Single month mayor Adams is now realizing the city cannot afford to support all of these people because the majority of them have no authorization to legally work in this country and New York City has stated that updated forecast show this that this crisis could cost the city more than12 billion
Over the next three years no wonder Adams is declaring a state of emergency but what seems to be lost on him is the irony his policies and other policies like it across the country talk a lot about being welcoming and open arms and all it would be racist to turn people
Away they criticize Governor Abbott for not having an open border to his state but the second immigrants show up at their doors while it’s a state of emergency well everyone that’s it for YouTube for the rest of the episode come join us on Epic TV we have a lot of
Important things that go into including terrorism alerts at the southern border alerts now to the border patrol that terrorist groups may be coming across and while is that even possible to vet people at this point what does that look like we’ll be speaking with a former uh actually pretty pretty high level person
With the border patrol about this and we’ll go over a lot of what the normal Protocols are and what that’s unfortunately probably not going to work this time we’ll also be talking about the Trump prosecutions and notably some of the members of his well some of his associates taking plea deals in the
Georgia case the RICO case what does that mean are they really going to come after him now we’ll be talking about this as well again all of this and more on Epic TV epoc tv.com I will see you there [Applause]
