New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday announced a lawsuit against 17 Texas bus companies who are transporting migrants to the city, suing for over $700 million.

700 million, “tens of thousands of migrants”, that’s about ten to seventy thousand per head. And that’s just for transporting them!

    So much spice in this article. I honestly wonder if he’s going to swallow his pride and say that NYC is no longer a Sanctuary City (IMO that would be the honorable thing to do), or keep up this charade.

      A sanctuary city just means the city is going to let the federal government handle the federal issue. You aren’t a citizen of a state. You are a citizen of the country. So it’s a federal issue.

      And it actually has some benefits. Like imagine witnessing a murder and not being able to say anything. They find the body, it’s a mystery, no one knows who did it. You could bring closure to the family… but you can’t say anything. Because you would also get punished.

      In a sanctuary city, they can come forward with information without worry about being deported.

      Maybe do some research on things instead of just using them as buzzwords.

        Shush, we can’t have truth around here. It ruffles too many feathers.

      God no. Though to be fair; the term doesn’t mean much. It means they won’t actively go after illegal immigrants but Biden isn’t going after them either. In effect all cities are sanctuary cities under Biden

        And gas prices were so much lower under clinton, that’s the other point we use to determine who the worst president is right? Clearly clinton was better than trump too, gas was so cheap back then.
