    I remember the narrative 5 years ago about "sanctuary cities". So that isn't a thing anymore? I'm just trying to get a consistent narrative here guys.

    it's true:

    Mayor Bowser Issues Statement Reaffirming that DC is a Sanctuary City

    https://mayor.dc.gov/release/mayor-bowser-issues-statement-reaffirming-dc-sanctuary-city

    Monday, November 14, 2016
    (Washington, DC) Today, Mayor Bowser issued the following statement reaffirming the District’s status as a sanctuary city:

    "The values, laws, and policies of Washington, DC did not change on Election Day. We celebrate our diversity and respect all DC residents no matter their immigration status. We are a sanctuary city because we know that our neighborhoods are safer and stronger when no one is afraid to call on our government for help, and when our police can focus on protecting and serving."

    More migrants arrive in NYC from Texas, David Paterson calls strategy ‘brilliant’

    https://nypost.com/2022/08/14/more-migrants-arrive-in-nyc-david-paterson-calls-it-brilliant/

    excerpt:

    Another busload of border-crossers from Texas arrived in the Big Apple on Sunday morning — as a top city official ripped the Lone Star State governor’s policy and a former New York gov called it “brilliant.”

    Thirty-one mask-wearing, young-adult migrants got off a white bus about 7 a.m. at Manhattan’s Port Authority Bus Terminal amid the ongoing public war of words between GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Dem Mayor Eric Adams’ administration about the bussed border-crossers.

    City Hall’s head of Immigrant Affairs, Manuel Castro, on Sunday said the latest “bus full of asylum seekers coming from Texas” was part of a shameful “political ploy.

    “We have serious issues about the way Gov. Abbott is treating asylum-seekers, especially because this is supposed to be a voluntary bus ride, and it appears that it’s not,” Castro told reporters at the Manhattan facility.

    ***
    But ex-New York Gov. David Paterson, a Democrat, said he is impressed by Abbott’s political maneuvering, explaining that it put Adams in a bind.

    “The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, has come up with … one of the most brilliant political strategies I’ve heard in a long time,” Paterson said during an appearance on WABC 770’s “Cats Roundtable” that aired Sunday.

    “I’m a Democrat. And there are a lot of things I don’t like about what he is doing. However, sometimes you have to tip your cap to your opponent.

    “It has really paid dividends to him politically,” Paterson said of Abbott. “In addition, it has put New York’s Mayor Eric Adams in the position where he can’t say he won’t accept the immigrants.

    “That would be going against what has been the policy most Democrats have on immigration in the first place. And if [Adams] sends the immigrants back to Texas, he is … going against his own attempt to get the federal government to help pay for the fact that they are here.”

    New York should expedite green card processing if possible then send the back to Texas each with an AR-15.

    Meh.

    Texas seems to think that they are the only areas that deal with illegal immigration.

    I don't doubt that Texas, California and Arizona deal with it the most.

    However illegal immigrants from South and Central America are all over the USA. In Illinois there are a lot of illegal immigrants.

    With interstates it’s not that hard to get from Texas to IL in a matter of hours.

    Aren't most illegal immigrants people that overstayed their visas?
