D.C. Mayor Shocked That Illegal Immigrants Are Crowding Homeless Shelters In Her City

Published on

Remember when Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he had enough of illegal immigrants storming his state, and that if it didn’t stop he’d send start bussing them up to D.C.? Yeah, he wasn’t kidding, and that’s exactly what he’d done.

Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday to discuss the persistent homelessness problem plaguing her city.

Host Margaret Brennen brought up a Washington Post report that suggested homeless shelters are now being filled with illegal immigrants being bused in from Texas and Arizona.

Bowser admitted that it’s a “significant issue” and called on the federal government to get more involved as she fears illegal immigrants are being “tricked” into traveling to her city.

“Well, this is a very significant issue. We have for sure called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses. We think they’re largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C. I worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks. I fear that they’re being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America,” Bowser said.

WATCH THE INTERVIEW:

Now that illegal immigrants are plaguing Democrat cities, the big question on everyone’s mind is who’s going to pick up the tab to house the homeless?

“Local taxpayers are not picking up the tab. They should not pick up the tab. We really need a coordinated federal response. We know that it’s done for refugees who come to the states from all points of the world and the same has to be done in the situation,” Bowser said.
