The issue of illegal immigration is by no means a new issue. For instance, we reported earlier this month that President Joe Biden abolished the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Labor Union.
Just to give that a little bit of structure and context, it was on August 11, 2022, that Biden and his administration have ended the labor organization that represents employees that work for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement .
This decision will effectively cancel or erase the National ICE Council and leaves its 7,600 members, mostly deportation officers, without a collective bargaining agreement or union representation.
So, the issue of illegal immigration and the migrants is by no means at an end of any kind.
It was recently reported that:
It is one thing to advocate for amnesty for illegal aliens and make your city a “sanctuary city” when you are not inundated with migrants the way Southern border states are.
But since Texas and other states began bussing migrants to Washington DC, and other Northern sanctuary cities, the welcoming message from their mayors has changed.
That is the case in DC where its Mayor Muriel Bowser has asked for, and been denied again, for the National Guard to be deployed to assist the city, Fox News reported.
For the second time, the Pentagon denied a request on Monday by Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser to activate the National Guard to assist with thousands of migrants who have been arriving in the nation’s capital in recent months.
Bowser first asked for National Guard help last month, but it was rejected by the Pentagon on Aug. 4. She then sent another letter on Aug. 11, requesting that 150 National Guard troops be deployed to “help prevent a prolonged humanitarian crisis in our nation’s capital resulting from the daily arrival of migrants.”
Defense Department executive secretary Kelly Bulliner Holly wrote in a letter to Bowser on Monday that the D.C. National Guard is not trained to assist migrants and activation would lead to “diminished readiness” for the troops

“The DCNG has no specific experience in or training for this kind of mission or unique skills for providing facility management, feeding, sanitation or ground support,” the secretary said to the DC mayor in a letter obtained by Fox News.
“Approval of this request would also result in a substantial readiness impact to the DCNG,” she said. “Devoting the personnel or the facility for such an extended mission would force the cancellation or disruption of military training.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent around 7,000 migrants to DC and around 900 to New York City.
“Before we began busing migrants to New York, it was just Texas and Arizona that bore the brunt of all the chaos and problems that come with it,” the Texas governor said. “Now, the rest of America can understand exactly what is going on.”
The DC mayor responded on Twitter, and she definitely does not expect DC to be the migrants’ final destination.
“We are going to move forward with our planning to ensure that when people are coming through DC on their way to their final destination we have a humane setting for them,” she said.
The issue of migrants has been on the tongues of many politicians on both sides of the aisle for a while. The border crisis has been a topic of discussion for some time. Late last month, The Raging Patriot reported that Republicans in the House were planning to send legislation that would effectively prohibit states from using federal funding and what are called “pass through” dollars to fund the health care for illegal immigrants. So, this debate and the political battle implied by it seems to rage on. Follow The Raging Patriot for more on this story as it develops!
