Report: Biden Regime Told El Paso Mayor to Not Declare State of Emergency Over City’s Migrant Crisis Ahead of Midterms
American Greatness | 18 Oct, 2022 | Debra HeineThe Biden White House reportedly directed the Democrat mayor of El Paso, Texas, to not declare a state of emergency over the massive influx of illegal immigrants overwhelming the city due to concerns it would make Democrats look bad ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
According to the New York Post, at least three of the El Paso City Council’s eight members have asked Mayor Oscar Leeser to issue an emergency declaration in response to the humanitarian crisis caused by the thousands of migrants who have filled city’s shelters and hotels, but he has thus far resisted taking that step. Hundreds of migrants have reportedly been sleeping on the streets without access to toilets or showers, and residents have complained that the “smell of human waste is overwhelming in the area.”
“We’ve never seen anything like this. It’s a scene that you would see in a third-world country, not in the streets of El Paso,” said Rep. Tony Gonzalez (R-Texas), in a tweet last month.
Mayor Leeser admitted during a phone conversation in September that the Biden White House had urged him not to declare a state of emergency, Councilmember Claudia Rodriguez told the Post.
“He told me the White House asked him not to,” Rodriguez said, adding that Leeser had repeatedly assured her that he’d declare a state of emergency “if things got worse.” That could happen soon, as thousands of Venezuelans are currently headed to El Paso, according to Gonzales.
The surge of Venezuelans has come as a result of the Biden regime officially extending special protections for Venezuelan migrants, known as Temporary Protected Status, that shield some of them from deportation.
Biden also asked if it’s absolutely necessary for gas stations to advertise their prices.
I think I’ll stay away from that Old El Paso taco sauce, just to be safe.
Who says??? Everyone who is not a whore to the media, or seriously addled…
Interesting. I assume Venezuelans recognize communists and socialists like those who destroyed what was the most affluent country in South and Central America. If the WH thinks it’s bringing people who are going to vote demoncrat by encouraging them to immigrate, they are, as usual completely wrong. Family, Country and Faith are the things Venezuela sought to destroy, I doubt those coming from there will make the same mistake twice. As usual “joe and co” got it completely backwards.
I agree, I think the Democrats are going to have a very hard time selling Socialism to people who come here from Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua.
They’re going to need a pretty big carpet to sweep all those people under..and because they speak Spanish we’ll need it “Underlay, Underlay!!”
Besides Dr. Jill tells shuffling joe there is no crisis at the border. HE’S the president (they tell him every time he asks who he is)
