DC requests National Guard help with busloads of migrants
The crisis began in spring when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced plans to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C.
WASHINGTON: The District of Columbia has requested National Guard assistance to help stem a “growing humanitarian crisis” prompted by thousands of migrants that have been sent to Washington by a pair of southern states.
Mayor Muriel Bowser formally asked the White House last week for an open-ended deployment of 150 National Guard members per day as well as “suitable federal location” for a mass housing and processing center, mentioning the D.C. Armory as a logical candidate. She met on July 21 with Liz Sherwood-Randall, assistant to the president for homeland security, and Julie Chavez Rodriguez, director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.The crisis began in spring when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced plans to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., in response to President Joe Biden’s decision to lift a pandemic-era emergency health order that restricted migrant entry numbers.
Since then the city estimates that nearly 200 buses have arrived, delivering more than 4,000 migrants to Union Station, often with no resources and no clue what to do next.
A coalition of local charitable groups has been working to feed and shelter the migrants, aided by a $1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. But organizers have been warning that both their resources and personnel were nearing exhaustion.
“This reliance on NGOs is not working and is unsustainable — they are overwhelmed and underfunded,” Bowser said in her letter. She has repeatedly stated that the influx was stressing her government’s ability to care for its own homeless residents and required intervention from Biden’s government.
“We know we have a federal issue that demands a federal response,” Bowser said at a July 18 press conference.
In her letter, Bowser harshly criticizes Abbott and Ducey, accusing them of “cruel political gamesmanship” and saying the pair had “decided to use desperate people to score political points.”
Bowser does not have the authority to personally order a National Guard deployment, an issue that has become emotionally charged in recent years as a symbol of the district’s entrenched status as less than a state.
Her limited authority played a role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol building by supporters of former President Donald Trump. When it became clear that the US Capitol Police were overmatched by the crowds, Bowser couldn’t immediately deploy the district guard. Instead, crucial time was lost while the request was considered inside the Pentagon, and protesters rampaged through the building.

Surge-the-Border Joe hasn't commented, apparently.
Abbot and Ducey are doing the right thing here. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and the rest of Washington created this problem. It's best to move the problem to Washington, so Washington can deal with it.
The governors need to increase the pressure. About 100 busloads of "migrants" need to be dumped in Washington, D.C. daily. Meaning, the governors need about 600 or 700 buses at their disposal, more if they can get them.
It would be even better if some buses could be diverted to Sleepy Creepy Joe's "home town" of Wilmington, Delaware. Busloads could also be diverted to the hometowns of all the other creepy liberal politicians who refuse to address the border crisis.
There's no reason the southern border states should be absorbing millions of invaders, while Washington and it's various parasites get a free ride!
Operation Wetback took place before I was even born. I'm an old man now. Meaning, two generations of congress critter parasites have been kicking the can down the road. It is long past time for Washington to understand the tragic consequences of their inaction.
Shut the fucking border down! Get control of the drug smuggling, the human trafficking, and all the rest of the human misery flowing across the border.
If some of those illegals rape and kill a congress critter's daughter, instead of some unknown woman in Texas, or Colorado, or New Mexico, how long do you think it would take to get things under control? No one cares about an unknown 9 year old girl being raped by an illegal alien in Ohio, until that girl can be used for political gain, right?

We used to have a philosopher until janrinok lynched him to protect Runaway. Sad that aristarchus is no longer a Soylentil because janrinok lynched him. All to protect the alt-right fuck who posted this racist journal. Sad.

Correct. When aristarchus died as a Soylentil after janrinok lynched him, Soylent News also died. A Soylentil was killed to protect a racist traitor. And now I shall address the traitor.
Runaway, are you involved in laundering of international funds to support fascism, but locally and on the international scale? One of the principles of the foundering Republicans. SN does have a core contingent of traitors hell bent on overthrowing democracy because they believe baseless lies from a blatant lying criminal. And not just your ordinary criminal, this one is like the bingo hall master of crime. Republicans like you became fascists and from all appearances seem completely unaware of the change.
And, we are calling it treason, so it did not prosper, because stupid can never win, because if it did, it wouldn't know that it had.
Brits like janrinok committed treason, too! SoylentNews was the censorship of a Soylentil, one who has been with us from the beginning, a Buck Feta of the old Skool, our dear aristarchus. After this, there is only death, darkness, janrinok, and FatAssPhil. Martyb was not able to save us. It is all Runaway Shit, from now on. What the traitors need is a FatPhil, and a janrinok, to be able to identify the ACs posting while they are supposed to be working. You know who they are!
SoylentNews is dead, RIP! Adieu, mon Freres!

Aristarchus - you have just shown clearly who has been behind the FYN accounts, despite you claiming all along the they belonged to somebody else. But, more importantly, you have also shown the entire community just how low you can stoop. I offer you nothing but my pity for how fall you have fallen, and any respect that anyone might have had for your contribution in the past is surely hidden in the shadows of comments such as the ones you have just made.
It has been made clear to you that you are no longer welcome here and that you are NOT part of this community. I suggest that you take your childish tantrums and tears elsewhere.

You know, funny thing, none of that was aristarchus. Of course, they wanted you to think it was aristarchus, and you fell for it like a chump. So I await your apology for the false accusations, janrinok.
Yours,
aristarchus
PS, I imagine you will be banning the FYN accounts on the incorrect assumption that they are sock-puppet accounts. This may be another thing the miscreant is trying to goad you into. I understand your need to protect Runaway, but careful you do not fall into the censorship trap, just because you suspect it may be me. Best wishes.

Unless they off compelling evidence I see no reason to believe the further claims of janrinok. It is trivial to rant angrily about being banned, but the paragraphs don't quite seem like aristarchus prose, even the lame stuff. It srrms much more likely that runaway is pissed off that he is getting called out for his racism and propaganda and is lashing out like an immature racist against his most hated enemy.
For me that sounds more plausible, and without proof it is irresponsible for staff to be making such accusations against true ACs. Bullies love getting their targets in trouble and they usually lash out after some emotionally tough time like getting dressed down in a personal journal.
Runaway is alt-right white supremacist scum that delights in trolling and inferred a large number of sock puppets. Will the commmunity ever see proof? Heck, black out most of the IP hashes and have all staff verify the hashes are valid. But nooo, never ever evaaarrr give evidence, just "trust us many people agree" which is all too trumpy.

Agree. Not enough obscure references to be Aristarchus.
