DC councilwoman who celebrated ‘sanctuary city’ status complains her city has become a ‘border town’ — and blames Republicans

Washington, D.C., Councilmember Brianne Nadeau (D) complained Thursday that her city has become a “border town” as thousands of migrants flood the city.
 
Ironically, Nadeau celebrated Washington, D.C., adopting a “sanctuary city” status just three years ago.
 
What happened?
 
At a press conference, Nadeau blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) for busing thousands of migrants to the nation’s capital.
 
“So it’s been said, but it’s worth reiterating that the governors of Texas and Arizona have created this crisis and the federal government has not stepped up to assist the District of Columbia,” Nadeau said.
 
“In many ways the governors, Texas and Arizona have turned us into a border town,” she later declared.
 

 
Nadeau’s laughable comments — made despite Washington, D.C., being more than 2,000 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border — were made at the same press conference where D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser declared a public emergency over the influx of migrants.
 
To accommodate the migrants, Bowser announced the formation of the Office of Migrant Services.
 
In response to the border crisis — in which millions of migrants have poured into the U.S. under President Joe Biden’s leadership — Abbott and Ducey began sending migrants to D.C., New York City, and Chicago earlier this year. All of the Democrat-run cities have bemoaned the flood of migrants despite being sanctuary cities.
 
But what did Nadeau say before?
 
For years, the nation’s capital has been a “sanctuary city” for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
 
Despite now decrying her city as a “border town,” Nadeau celebrated D.C.’s “sanctuary city” status three years ago when she reiterated her demand that Immigration and Customs Enforcement be abolished.
 
“The District is a sanctuary city, which means our law enforcement does not cooperate with ICE,” she said. “As Councilmember, I have called for an abolition of ICE and wrote DC’s law to establish a permanent immigrant legal services fund.”
 
Anything else?
 
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, who has extensively covered the border crisis, pointed out that Nadeau’s assertion that D.C. is a border town is “ridiculous.”
 
As Melugin pointed out, more migrants enter major border cities in one week than have entered D.C. during the entire crisis.

Just your standard Liberal Democrat Dumb Cluck blames the GOP for it all just how stupid can anyone ever get?

democrats are hunky dory with dumping illegal aliens in towns and cities across America at devastating expense to those communities. But, when the roles are reversed, how dare you do to us that which we have done to you. This is the democrat sickness we are all seeing.

biden the Fuhrer is the world’s most prolific human trafficker. His constitutional violation of oath of office with respect to the border will be the first of sever articles of impeachment in January 2023.

NYC recently sent a delegation (without Adams, of course) to the Texas border. Fox was the only news outlet there covering it. This is a massive humanitarian crisis and tragedy and no one but Fox cares. Idiot Biden intentionally created this disaster, so the media won’t touch it. Adams, Bowser and Lightfoot blame Texas and Arizona governors, completely ignoring the fact that the entire crisis was made by idiot Biden. Of course, the leftist media cannot delve into the story; that might reveal where its origins are.

There is not one single principle Democrats hold that is honest and legitimate. Everything they “believe” in is nothing but divisive and intended to be weaponized against political opponents. The ONE thing they believe in is power and control. These lying mayors don’t object to getting a few hundred illegal immigrants (there’ll be no wetbacks in THEIR neighborhoods); they only want to try and smear Republicans as “racist” and “heartless” for sending .00001% of idiot Biden’s illegal immigrants to other states so they can feel a bit of the pain border states have to absorb totally on their own due to stupid Democrat policies.
