The phrase "Be careful what you ask for" comes to mind.

Eric is finding out spouting words about welcoming illegal immigrants to his sanctuary city is a lot different when they actually take him up on the offer.Reality hurts when it hits you in the face.

[williamfriar]

It’s that awful moment when you get exactly what you wanted.

[chrisgill]

When you declare your city/state to be a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, you have not only made the illegal immigration issue worse & are in violation of federal laws, but tacitly agreed to accept all illegal immigrants from those places that follow the law and have not declared themselves sanctuaries.
No discussion or working with other states is required, necessary, or to be expected.
NYC made its bed, now lie in it.

Imagine inviting somebody for dinner and getting mad when they show up! You ask for it you got it NYC!!!😂

[Antonchigurh_]

Crazy, you’re a sanctuary city. This is what you chose. This is what you wanted

[chrisjames]

When did every problem in the world become America's responsibility? Wtf.

[ttis]

Now he knows how it feels for border states and yet these northern states say come on in and don't see the affect it has until now

[mgt]

Who would've thought an unchecked immigration system and national housing crisis would result in this?

[thebestofthebest]

This is a "Dream Come True" moment for Mayor Adams.

Texas, Arizona and Florida said
"Welcome to the Party!"

[geraldinekight]

President Biden invited them, drop them at the White House.I feel sorry for our people on benefits, things are going to be hard if services don’t just run out of money.

[JoseDelgado-zzuq]

How about declaring a state of emergency over the crime wave in New York City.

[imshaunnurse]

wow i thought they were going to show us the meaning of social justice? i guess they cant take care of something like that

[lumpy]

Abbott needs to double down and send twice as many. Give them what they voted for. Joe Biden approves this message and the chaos to come.

[PrisonMike-]

Hotels $400 night for tourists….free for illegal immigrants.

[Localtuff]

When virtue signaling becomes reality.

[williamfriar]

Gotta be a bit embarrassing. Eagle Pass, TX has gotten up to 15, 000 in one day.

You’re getting EXACTLY WHAT YOU VOTED FOR.

[silverdamascus]

Texas: _"Close the border! We are full of migrants here! There's over a thousand of them coming every day! We can't take care of them."_

New York: _"Oh, you just hate migrants because you are racist and xenophobic, we welcome migrants here, no one should be punished for crossing an imaginary line in a rock floating in space."_

Texas: _"OK then, here's a bus full of migrants, take care of them."_

New York: _"No! We can't take care of so many migrants! And you're a monster, you claim you are christian, but instead of helping poor people, you sent them to us, and sending people across state lines is illegal, it's human trafficking."_
