Rationally .. I see. You mean like Eric Adams of New York City declaring a state of emergency over 4 buses full of migrants?
4 buses? Since when do thousands fit into four buses?
New York City's mayor declared a state of emergency on Friday over the thousands of migrants being sent from southern border states since the spring, saying the demand being put on the city to provide housing and other assistance is “not sustainable."

Or how about Martha's Vineyard panicking over 50 illegals (although not a sanctuary city, it houses the many of the elite who are advocates), or perhaps Washington DC that panicked because of cold temperatures (which didn't stop illegals from pouring into the United States).
Ah, so it isn’t about sanctuary cities, it’s about tricking people to take buses to Martha’s Vinyard as some kind of vendetta against “elites”…how sweet.
These immigrants, who were “recruited” in a shelter, by a woman thought to be a former army counter intelligence offer, were told they were going to Boston, promised jobs and aid, none of which were true.
Martha’s Vineyard, not that I have any particular sympathy for wealthy elites of either ideology, is an island some 20 miles long, a year round population of 15,000 and a summer vacation population of 200,000, has little in the way of support systems for migrants, only one homeless shelter, little access to services, transportation, etc. Despite that, when a bus load of confused, unprepared immigrants were dumped on the street in the middle of the night, they immediately went into action.
The plane flight carrying dozens of migrants and paid by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is the latest move by Republican officials to send migrants to Democrat-controlled cities.

Andres Duarte, a 30-year-old Venezuelan, said he had recently crossed the border into Texas and eventually went to a shelter in San Antonio.
"She (Perla) offered us help. Help that never arrived," Andres said. "Now we are here. We got on the plane with a vision of the future, of making it." He went on to explain why he boarded the plane with so little information in hand. "Look, when you have no money and someone offers help, well, it means a lot."
In Martha's Vineyard, the migrants are staying at a church shelter while local authorities and nonprofit organizations figure out what's going to happen next. Lisa Belcastro, who runs a homeless shelter on the island, said resources were initially scarce.
"Everything from beds to food to clothing to toothbrushes, toothpaste, blankets, sheets. I mean, we had some of it ... but we did not have the numbers that we needed."
Most of the arrivals spoke little or no English, and Spanish-speaking high school students were pressed into service as interpreters.
Edgartown Police Chief Bruce McNamee said many of the migrants were confused.
"We have talked to a number of people who've asked, 'Where am I?' And then I was trying to explain where Martha's Vineyard is."
***** all you want about elites, but in this instance they did more for these people than those who used them for their political vendetta.
But hey, I appreciate the honesty that you have finally come clean and admitted that this really about using people to score cheap political vendettas.
