Three Democrat mayors from around the country are regretting their decision to declare themselves sanctuaries after two Republican governors started bussing migrants to their cities.
Mayor Eric Adams of New York, Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington DC, and Mayor Lori Lightfoot of Chicago are scrambling after the move of Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott, and Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey, The Daily Caller reports.
Both Ducey and Abbott are bussing immigrants to cities who have declared themselves sanctuaries, calling their bluff.
Washington DC, Mayor has also been abandoned by Joe Biden. The Biden administration has repeatedly denied requests to deploy the National Guard for an emergency Bowser has declared a “public emergency.”

Lightfoot has called Abbott’s move “racist and xenophobic,” despite advertising that Chicago was a sanctuary.
New York City Mayor Adams has called Abbott’s strategy “horrific” despite advocating for his city to remain a sanctuary city.
I think it’s important for people to understand exactly what it means to be a “sanctuary city.” pic.twitter.com/77uWPIknGm
