Liberal cities and states are eyeing private homes to house illegal immigrants who continue to pour across the southern border, according to The National Pulse.
As resources dwindle, blue cities like Denver are targeting local rental property owners to house illegal migrants. The city looks to reduce migrant services in the face of a nearly $60 million budget deficit.
In Illinois, a proposal to allow residents to volunteer their homes to house migrant families failed when Naperville’s city council ruled such measures were outside of its jurisdiction, according to the Pulse.
New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams has voiced an idea similar to that in Illinois. “It is my vision to take the next step to these faith-based locales and then move to a private residence,” Adams 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,” Adams said.
Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll has also encouraged private citizens to consider housing illegal immigrants, in line with Governor Maura Healey’s request to extend a “helping hand.”
In February, Michigan, under the state’s refugee support initiative, asked for volunteers who would then be expected to support migrants for at least three months, from picking them up at the airport to housing to school enrollment and even employment assistance.
“The Office of Global Michigan’s goal is to make Michigan the home for opportunity for our immigrant, refugee and ethnic communities,” said Michigan’s Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer and Director of the Office of Global Michigan Poppy Hernandez.
“With expanded refugee resettlement pathways, everyday Michiganders can provide refuge and build a state where people are welcomed with open arms,” Hernandez continued.
Liberal officials can dress up the crisis any way they like but their efforts to house illegal immigrants in the homes of private citizens make plain there is a lack of infrastructure and resources to deal with the tidal wave of illegal immigrants.
The Biden administration’s engineered open border crisis has caused a severe strain on local resources. Liberal cities and states are in danger of bursting apart at the seams.
