I've pointed this out often but it's always worth repeating, but statements like this one from New York City Mayor Eric Adams (then a candidate) are aging worse by the day:
"We should protect our immigrants." Period.

Yes, New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration. #EricOnNBC
Fast forward to the summer of 2023, and New York City has a mess on its hands, and so do some cities in Massachusetts (many of which are "sanctuary cities"):

Wow, that escalated quickly!
Massachusetts calls up national guard to cope with migrants as protests rage https://t.co/zXstIaOYKf pic.twitter.com/foMIFXYNpE

From the New York Post:
Massachusetts officials overwhelmed by arriving migrants have activated the National Guard as they scramble for more housing, while aid groups say they have been pushed to the limit and protests abound.
Gov. Maura Healey mobilized 250 members of the Massachusetts National Guard on Thursday to help transport the latest wave of asylum seekers to shelters across the state.
But much like the crisis overtaking the Big Apple, Massachusetts has nowhere near enough housing or resources currently available to accommodate the influx.
Gee, people streaming illegally across the border in droves doesn't seem like much of a problem to northern lib politicians as long as the problem (they support enabling) stays somebody else's problem. Now that they're getting hit with the consequences of the very policies they support the virtue signaling has hit a brick wall.

All it took to completely break blue states was a couple bus loads of illegals. After decades of calling southern states bigots for the crime of wanting borders.

Reap it, Massachusetts. https://t.co/AmjozeQOzW
Biden's policy of having an insecure southern border has backfired on the Democrats like a '77 Buick LeSabre with bad spark plugs.

It's not "racist and xenophobic" is a Democrat does it, apparently.
Wake up America. Biden and Mayorkas have let 8 million illegal aliens enter the country and they’re only halfway done. That’s the equivalent of 10 Manhattans. Or two New Jerseys. https://t.co/MxAYCbehfR

Obviously Biden and Mayorkas don't plan to stem the flow, which is why they must be voted out.
