“This Is an Invasion of America” – Michael Yon at the U.S. Border
May 17th, 2023This was posted by reader NH in a comment on, El Paso: Border Patrol’s Central Processing Center Six Times Maximum Capacity. I thought it was worth a dedicated post.
Via: Redacted:
“scores of men, from countries as various as Venezuela and Mauritania, find themselves in limbo together in the Crossroads Hotel on the outskirts of Newburgh, a pretty, frayed town in upstate New York. They are living on New York City’s dime, but about 60 miles farther up the Hudson river.
Last summer the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, began offering people who crossed the border seeking asylum free bus rides to New York City. New York’s mayor, Eric Adams, blasted the tactic as inhumane and unAmerican. But in May, with the city’s shelters full, Mr Adams began inviting migrants to catch buses northward.”

Yeah soothing hex, some truth to be had in an MSM article—and if you were to strike up a conversation with a sleepy friend using that quote, there’s a pretty good opportunity to introduce the idea of weaponized migration, by subsequently adding in to the discussion the misleading sentence preceding that quote:
“Only if parsed in terms of America’s stammering, ad-libbed answer to desperate migrants could it make any sense”
Is that the wrong lane ? I see buses coming.
