D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is asking the federal government for National Guard assistance amid a spike in illegal migrants in our nation’s capital. Bowser says she considers it “a humanitarian crisis.”
“With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent [busing] operations indefinitely, the situation is dire, and we consider this a humanitarian crisis — one that could overwhelm our social support network without immediate and sustained federal intervention,” Bowser wrote in a letter requesting help from the National Guard.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has bused nearly 6,000 migrants to Washington D.C. since April.
Former President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on Bowser’s call for help on TRUTH Social, wondering why she would call in the National Guard for the migrant influx but not for Jan. 6.
“The Mayor of Washington, D.C., wants the National Guard to help with the thousands of Illegal Immigrants, coming from the insane Open Border, that are flooding the City, but refused National Guard help when it came to providing Security at the Capitol Building for a far larger crowd on January 6th. Figure that one out?” Trump said on TRUTH.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott also fired back at Bowser, saying if she doesn’t like the migrant influx in her city, she can take it up with President Biden.
“D.C. is experiencing a fraction of the disastrous impact the border crisis has caused Texas. Mayor Bowser should stop attacking Texas for securing the border & demand Joe Biden do his job.”
