Speaker Johnson Tells NYC to End ‘Sanctuary’ Policy If It Wants Migrant Money.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated Democrats in New York City need to ditch their “sanctuary city” policies and end restrictions on local police cooperating with federal deportations if they want money to alleviate the city’s migrant crisis.

“The idea that you would maintain a sanctuary city status and then cry out to the federal government for assistance in what you’ve done is, to me, unconscionable,” Johnson said.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams cheered Joe Biden when he halted border wall construction in 2021, and had long claimed the Big Apple should be a “sanctuary” for illegal aliens – but his stance has shifted now conservative border states have begun busing migrants to him in large numbers.

Speaker Johnson also blamed the Biden regime for the crisis, noting that “in some ways, [they’re] not able to control what happens with the economy that they’ve created, But [they] could change the border policies overnight, and they are unwilling to do it.”

He singled out Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, in particular, as “one of the worst Cabinet secretaries in the history of the United States.”

Johnson said the border crisis was proving “terribly destructive” in a variety of ways, citing fentanyl trafficking as “an absolute catastrophe; the leading cause of death is overdoses for Americans aged 18-49” alongside human trafficking and other criminal activity “enriching the cartels.”

“It goes on and on and on. And all of that traces back to [Democrat] policy decisions.”
