But there has to be some limits in place.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>How delightfully ironic\u2014that\u2019s precisely what beleaguered border towns have been telling open-borders D\u5350M\u262dCRATs like yourself for years and years now, you miserable bint. Compounding the irony is this (bold mine):<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8216;Congress has to put more controls at the border,&#8217; she said, noting that some lawmakers have called for a reduction in the number of Border Patrol officers stationed down south.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Talk about eliminating positions for Border Patrol, well, we actually need to double or quadruple those numbers,&#8217; she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Within the last 18-months, more than 110,000 migrants have arrived in New York City<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>OOOOOOHHHHH, you poor pitiful Sanctuary State\/City pearls! Over a hundred thou, is it? How very awful for you all! May I remind you that a lowball-estimated <em>20 fucking MILLION<\/em> immivaders have crossed our (former) borders the last few years, the majority of them blitzing tiny Texas towns who hadn&#8217;t smarmily declared themselves to be \u201cSanctuary\u201d <em>anything<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Officials have been scrambling to house and provide basic accommodations for the massive number, and the attention of the city&#8217;s government has been diverted, often at the expense of the legal population of the Big Apple.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cMassive number,\u201d my wrinkled, baggy scrotum. You asked for it, you got it. Now <em>deal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>More at the link, which I didn\u2019t bother reading because of a sudden onset of intense <em>ennui<\/em> and lack of concern.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Backupdate!<\/strong><\/em> Not as bad as all that then, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/10\/02\/gov-hochul-cowardly-backpedal-on-criticizing-joe-bidens-border\/\">huh Kath<\/a>?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Sunday, Gov. Hochul delivered a spot-on explanation for New York\u2019s current dilemma \u2014 for how it came to be stuffed full of penniless border-hoppers.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, she said, is the border itself: As in, \u201cIt\u2019s too open right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Which it obviously is. The consequences \u2014 societal, fiscal and cultural \u2014 also are obvious, and becoming more so.<\/p>\n<p>But Hochul\u2019s candor \u2014 aimed squarely at Washington, and at Joe Biden in particular \u2014 clearly has had consequences too.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, she was warbling a different \u2014 far more deferential \u2014 tune. To wit:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith respect to what was said about the border, I have called for a more thoughtful, balanced national immigration \u2014 federal \u2014 immigration policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Translation: \u201cOops, I sure stepped in it this time. Please don\u2019t hurt me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but Gov. Flippity-Flop needn\u2019t worry. She\u2019s too compliant to be of concern, especially after re-embracing the orthodoxy \u2014 and, in the process, making sure that nobody ever again takes seriously a word she says.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not hard to imagine the blowback Hochul\u2019s impertinence generated; the phone calls doubtless came fast and furious \u2014 the message being clear: \u201cNice incumbency you got there, guv. Be a pity if something happened to it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To which Hochul might have replied: \u201cGo to hell. This is my state, and I\u2019m going to do what I can \u2014 what I must \u2014 to protect it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What a glorious, liberating moment that would have been \u2013 both for Hochul and for the Empire State itself.<\/p>\n<p>But she said no such thing.<\/p>\n<p>She groveled \u2013 and now she, and New York, can expect more of the same: More disrespect, for sure, but also many, many more budget-crushing economic wanderers masquerading as political refugees.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Tough noogies, sez I. You can be sure that, whoever New York\u2019s governor ends up being, he\/she\/it will be another of their patented cookie-cutter D\u5350M\u262dCRAT shitlibs, who will put political intrigue, corruption, and personal privilege over the best interests of the people they misrule, as always. I know there are a fair few saner sorts in the less-citified corners upstate; they\u2019re so lopsidedly outnumbered, one can\u2019t help but feel kinda bad for them, really.<\/p>\n<p>That said, in NY as in Europe \u201cconservative\u201d doesn\u2019t mean anything <em>close<\/em> to what Real Americans understand by the word. That\u2019s something that should always be borne closely in mind. Even Rudy Giuliani, <em>contra<\/em> his hardass right-winger image in The City itself, was always a Big Government guy\u2014a lot more liberal than Flyover folks might assume. Mind you, he did a fine job as mayor and prosecutor both, no denying that. Rudy really did save NYC from itself; I lived there then, and watched him do it. What fun it was for a guy like me to behold, too. Take him out of the Five Boroughs and plonk him down in Alabama or Oklahoma or Michigan\u2019s Upper Peninsula, though, and he\u2019s just another \u201cmoderate\u201d at <em>best<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another shitlib gets herself a painful schooling in the stark home-truth that a nation without borders, by definition, cannot be said to be a nation at all.
