The leftist dream of open borders can’t bear the weight of reality.

The failure of overwhelmed officials to provide the promised support for the migrant influx from Texas reveals the foolishness of the left-wing "sanctuary city" model, but that should surprise no one. The illusion of a socialist utopia propped up by progressives has never held up to reality; why would it now?

Migrant Influx Overwhelms

  • About 6,000 migrants have sought shelter in the Big Apple since May, but of those, only 1,500 came in from the Lone Star State
  • NYC Mayor Eric Adams has appealed to the White House and the US Conference of Mayors for assistance, but he has thus far received no extra help

Progressive Propaganda

  • New York's minimum wage ranges from $13.20 to $15 an hour, varying by location. Texas enforces a mere $7.25 hourly to its poor workers.
  • In 2020, there were 27,229 homeless in the Lone Star State, out of a total population of 28.64 million. That's just one tenth of a percent.
