Liberal cities and states are increasingly looking to private residences to accommodate the illegal alien invasion as resources dwindle.
Denver is begging local rental property owners to house migrants as the city reduces migrant services to decrease a nearly $60 million budget deficit.
New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams has also suggested that migrants occupy private residences. “It is my vision to take the next step to these faith-based locales and then move to a private residence,” he said in June. “We can take that $4.2 billion, or $4.3 billion maybe now, that we potentially have to spend, and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday New Yorkers.”
In Illinois, a proposal was put forth earlier this year that would allow residents to volunteer their homes for migrant families in response to the growing divide on the immigration issue. The proposal, however, was declined, with Naperville’s city council ruling that such measures would fall under the purview of state or federal authorities.
Massachusetts has also appealed to its residents. Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll encouraged those with extra space in their homes to consider accommodating displaced families, reflecting Governor Maura Healey’s request to extend a “helping hand.”
Michigan requested its residents’ assistance in February. Under the state’s refugee support initiative, volunteers would be expected to support refugees for at least 90 days in various ways, from airport reception and initial housing supply to school enrollment and employment assistance.
These efforts reveal the simple truth that America lacks the infrastructure and resources to adequately deal with the massive influx of migrants that has resulted from Biden’s mishandling of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. In addition to the severe strain on local resources, these “newcomers” are also bringing with them an increase in serious crimes.
