A Democratic Congressman representing Illinois claimed that immigrants are necessary to grow the economy of the United States.
Rep. Mike Quiqley's statement comes as residents of major U.S. cities, including Chicago, New York City, and Washington D.C., have pushed back on receiving migrants who have been transported from the Southern border — a tactic used by Republican governors to try and draw the attention of President Joe Biden in order to secure the border. Quiqley argued that the U.S. would not be where it is now without migrants.“Without migrants where are we?" Quiqley told MSNBC Saturday.
"Chicago and New York," the Democratic congressman continued,"they have a long history of welcoming migrants, and understanding just what they meant to growing the economies of world cities." Major U.S. cities have had to deal with an influx of migrants who are sent to them from the border, with even local Democrats expressing concern over the situation. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass recently revealed her fears that more immigrants than the city can handle will arrive"any day."
Similarly, New York City Mayor Eric Adams stated that the city's growing migrant situation will “destroy” the city. He claimed that the White House has provided “no support” in assisting with the city's growing number of migrants. Adams also referred to Gov. Greg Abbott as a"madman" for sending illegal immigrants by bus to sanctuary cities.
Rep. Chip Roy has demanded that Biden do what he can to secure the southern border and cited the recent arrest of Danelo Cavalcante to make his point. Cavalcante, a convict of first-degree murder who was recently arrested by Pennsylvania police, gave the U.S."a glimpse" of what Texas has had to deal with in regards to the nation's security.
