Mayor Pete Wants to Bring in Over 100,000 Refugees Annually
Although he has not been as vocal on the immigration issue, 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg unveiled an immigration plan on December 22, 2019.
Vox reported that it “would reverse the Trump administration’s enforcement policies, push for a pathway to citizenship for unauthorized immigrants, and streamline the process of applying for asylum and other forms of legal immigration.”
Buttigieg is perceived to be the “moderate” in the race due to him not supporting radical migration policies like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who support the decriminalization of unauthorized border crossings and fundamentally restructuring immigration enforcement agencies such as the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and ICE.
One of the most notable features in Buttigieg’s immigration platform is how it raises the cap on annual refugee admissions to 125,000 during his first year in office, and he backs legislation that would establish an annual floor of 95,000 admissions.
Mass migration has become a religion of sorts in American politics.
Buttigieg is faithfully doing his part by championing the latest refugee craze.
Although not as extreme, BLP has reported on Republicans doing their part in trying to resettle refugees in their own states, thus showing how out of touch both political establishments are with the American people.
In President Trump’s defense, he set the refugee cap at 18,000, which although much smaller than Obama era numbers, should still concern immigration patriots.
Real immigration patriotism would involve ending these refugee programs and putting pressure on other countries to settle these refugees themselves.
On June 30, 2020, congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that New York City’s budget cuts to the police department were not sufficiently adequate, declaring that “defunding police means defunding police.”
“Defunding police means defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education’s budget so the exact same police remain in schools,” the congresswoman remarked in a statement.
The defund the police meme has caused some debate in Democrat circles. Some Democrats believe that the phrase shouldn’t be taken literally and is only a slogan for police reforms.
“It does not mean counting overtime cuts as cuts, even as NYPD ignores every attempt by City Council to curb overtime spending and overspends on overtime anyways,” Ocasio-Cortez added. “If these reports are accurate, then these proposed ‘cuts’ to the NYPD budget are a disingenuous illusion. This is not a victory. The fight to defund policing continues.”
On June 30, the New York City Council and Mayor Bill de Blasio came to a deal to slash $1 billion from the NYPD’s $6 billion budget.
“We’re acting on that call for justice. I believe it is our mission to redistribute resources to those who need them the most,” de Blasio stated, “This is real redistribution.”
Activists that agree with AOC’s radical anti-cop reforms said they won’t put up with any plan that merely reallocates money and does nothing to substantially gut police departments.
“No funny math. No budget musical chairs,” radical anti-law enforcement activists said in a letter on June 30 to the mayor and council. “We’ll know if you fought for our communities or whether you will let the NYPD continue to be treated as if they’re above the law, even in the budget.”
New York City is currently suffering from a $9 billion shortfall in revenue due to the Wuhan virus shutdowns.
New York is already an anti-gun state, with a ranking of 51st place according to Guns & Ammo magazine.
Defunding the police will only make New York City less secure and leave New Yorkers with virtually no options left for security.
