Iran, sure, New York, no.
That nearly sums up President Joe Biden’s angle in the case of offering support to New Yorkers who’re being dragged below by the hordes of unlawful immigrants who’ve invaded the town.
Biden didn’t even meet with New York Mayor Eric Adams throughout his 4–day go to to the town and the United Nations.
His message to New York and Mayor Eric Adams was: Get misplaced.
Be warned, although, as New York goes so goes the nation.
Biden politically can’t and won’t give you funds to bail out cities and states which were overwhelmed with 5 million unlawful immigrants from world wide due to his open border coverage.
To achieve this could be an admission that he’s liable for purposely opening the as soon as safe border to let the flood of illegals in in addition to for the lethal fentanyl that a lot of them carry into the nation,
And whereas he’ll speak about defending the border of Ukraine, he won’t utter a phrase about defending the borders of the U.S.
If Biden didn’t even meet with Adams, who campaigned for mayor as “Brooklyn’s Biden,” or with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, what likelihood is there that he’ll meet with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, or Gov. Maura Healey, each of whom are begging for federal immigration support? Slim to none.
It is all proper for Biden to launch $6 billion in confiscated funds to facilitate Iranian terrorism world wide in his one-sided prisoner swap, however he won’t give you a nickel for Americans in New York.
That $6 billion is near the sum of money Adams is spending coping with the immigrant disaster in his metropolis.
Adams stated, “I am hoping he (Biden) understands this beautiful city that’s the economic engine of the entire country is being saddled with a $2 billion that we spent already, $5 billion we’re going to spend in this fiscal crisis, and $12 billion in the next two budgetary cycles.”
“New York doesn’t deserve this; the asylum seekers don’t deserve this,” he stated.
And Hochul is diminished to begging unlawful immigrants to “go somewhere else.”
It is nice that the 5 Americans held in Iranian captivity have been let loose. But it not so nice that he let the world know that the U.S. is in enterprise in the case of paying ransom for hostages.
Still, Biden solely did what President Barack Obama did when Obama, Vice President Biden and then-Secretary of State John Kerry in 2016 secretly despatched $400 million in money to the Iranians for the discharge of 4 U.S. hostages.
“The U.S. does not pay ransom,” Kerry stated because the $400 million was shipped to Switzerland to be laundered into euros so to not break U.S. foreign money legal guidelines.
Not solely is the U.S. below the Democrats within the enterprise of paying ransom for hostages, the hostage takers just like the Iranians and the Russians are rising the costs.
Meanwhile, Biden continues the Obama/John Kerry coverage of sucking as much as our enemies like Iran and China. Biden punishes Americans along with his open border and battle on fossil fuels, whereas rewarding America’s enemies.
At least the billions of {dollars} donated to Ukraine is getting used to struggle the Russian invasion and to defeat Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
Yet, everybody is aware of that the $6 billion turned over to Iran won’t be used for humanitarian functions as promised. That’s a Biden fable. The cash is fungible and shall be used to construct extra Iranian missiles and drones to promote to Russia in addition to to proceed to fund terrorism.
So, in a roundabout means Biden helps Putin.
While Biden has proven a closed fist to serving to New York and different cities and states swamped with unlawful immigrants, he’s sending $1.1 billion in “humanitarian” support to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
This is identical Taliban that Biden bowed to when he ordered the humiliating abandonment of Afghanistan in 2020 that price the lives of 13 Americans on the Kabul Airport.
Kabul, sure.
New York, no.
