I love that..'Migrant Crisis'.  IT"S ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION, ya fruitcake WaPo.

Now parts of this article are interesting.

1.  saying these people come here looking for safety and opportunity.   THey're here to destroy us.  THey have no loyalty to the US...they hate us...and many of them are not family men but rather military age men from many nations...who just happen to hate us.  so there is THAT.

"While I have a lot of sympathy for our new residents,” Trustee Marty Silverstein said, “we have people that have been living here for five, 10 years that are severely struggling.”"

2.  well..wait a sec...they're meeting to take care of these folk that they just saw living under bridges (this past fall) and they so want to help them because the people in the area are liberal and something else.... but then this;

they're doing so much cause they got hearts o' gold.

"Charities put up the few families in area hotels. The director of the Third Street Center, a former elementary school that now rents spaces to artists and a ballet studio, designated the gym a shelter. Voces Unidas helped the migrants elect a nine-person leadership committee to maintain order. Volunteers provided breakfasts and dinners.

“People need a hot meal,” Andrea West, 44, said on a Tuesday morning as she and three friends served fruit, bacon and other foods they had brought. West, who lives in the neighboring city of Glenwood Springs, signed up after reading news about the migrants and their long, dangerous treks toward better lives.

“You can only imagine what they’ve been through,” she said. “This can only be better. You’ve got the elements to contend with. But it’s better than being robbed, or worse.”

and to finish it up:

3. Though Bohmfalk doesn’t want Carbondale to become a destination for migrants, he has requested nearly $224,000 in state emergency funds for those already in town. He noted in a letter that the group, now estimated to number more than 120, “effectively increased the town’s unhoused population by approximately 500 percent and increased the town’s population by 2 percent.”

The mayor said he was astonished that the federal government offers no resources or guidance to help municipalities cope. A $1.4 billion request for that purpose by the Biden administration is included in a funding request now stalled in Congress.

“At the end of the day, we can’t in Carbondale right now influence what’s going on at the border,” Bohmfalk said he tells the occasional angry residents who ask him why the town should help. What it can influence are the lives in its midst. “These people are sleeping outside.”

they're here illegally..unvetted and a drain on all of us. A nation with no border is set for destruction. and these people, no doubt sanctuary city types, don't mean to bear them burder themselves..oh no.....the feds...which means all of US.
