If hypocrisy was a politician, it would be an Independent but with much stronger leanings toward the Left; you know, like Bernie Sanders.
The Left's meltdown began when Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott (R) sent a busload of illegal aliens to the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., where Vice President Kamala Harris currently resides. For icing on the cake, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal aliens up to Martha’s Vineyard, a tony island where the elite meet to eat and greet. Barack Obama has a huge mansion there but the liberals of Martha's Vineyard, with their population of 20,000 year-round residents, felt overrun by the one busload. This sanctuary city, with their virtue-signaling lawn signs of welcoming for the illegal aliens, declared an emergency. Fifty illegal aliens in Martha's Vineyard while Texas border towns experience something in the neighborhood of 11,000 illegal aliens in ONE WEEK!
In August, Texas started sending illegal aliens to Chicago, another sanctuary city. Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office said they would be welcoming them. “As a person of faith, I believe we must see God’s presence in all human beings,” Lightfoot said. “That’s what being a good Christian is.”
Sister Lightfoot, however, freaked out when they actually arrived. She rounded them up then shipped them out to the suburbs, such as Burr Ridge after having attacked Gov. Abbott for treating them like "cargo" and not giving her advanced notice they were being sent to the Windy City. But Sister Lightfoot did exactly the same thing when she sent them packing to Burr Ridge.
Burr Ridge Mayor Gary Grasso, a Republican, told Fox News that the migrants are being used as “political pawns,” which is true, but in this case, it's justified since the Left has used them the same way when it came to the border wall and President Trump.
Grasso said it’s hypocritical for Lightfoot to be complaining about Abbott sending migrants to Chicago, then turning around and “sending [the migrants] out to the” suburbs. Of course he's correct, but that seems to be the rule of thumb when it comes to Democrats.
Now that Lightfoot has gotten several hundred illegal aliens in Chicago since August, she is finally telling the Biden administration that it "has to step up" and do something about this situation, even admitting that the border situation is not a new problem. “This is not a new challenge for us. We need federal support. Resources, communication, and collaboration, and that has to come in short order.”

At last someone on the Left is saying the truth and is calling for the so-called President to take action, in spite of the border cities who have been feeling the brunt of this making this demand for two years. And it only took a microcosm of illegal aliens to get that point across to the leftists who are finally being directly effected by the situation.

The Democrats are freaking out as the midterm elections loom large and 2024 is the light at the end of the tunnel.
The "sanctuary cities" deal was a sham and shame on them for the sham, dammit.
