Did NYC lie about welcoming immigrants?

Of course I *did* find where, in certain cities, there is some push back...from republicans.

Quote:"They're all sanctuary cities until they have to be sanctuary cities," says Peter Crummey, a Republican and town supervisor of Colonie.


Located 20 minutes away from Albany, the village of Colonie is not a sanctuary city. So Crummey says he was blindsided when, on Memorial Day weekend, New York City sent a bus with 24 migrants to his town. He's suing New York, but he says he's also infuriated at the lack of guidance from the Biden administration and Congress.


"The federal government has created chaos in our country by not responding and making a plan for these folks," he says. "The solution lies at the feet of the federal government. Because immigration is decidedly a federal issue. It's not a town issue. Or a village issue."

Peter Crummey, the town supervisor for Colonie, N.Y., filed a lawsuit against Mayor Eric Adams of New York City for busing newly arrived migrants to his village.

But I'll say again this is a problem that will take a lot of work to solve if it can be solved at all.  And that probably can't be solved with insults and lawsuits.
