Democratic border-town mayor: Biden admin handling of crisis ‘a slap in the face’. “Mr. President my name is Bruno Lozano, mayor of the city of Del Rio, Texas, and I am pleading and requesting with you to please put a halt to any measures regarding the release of immigrants awaiting court dates into the city of Del Rio and surrounding areas,” Lozano says as footage of empty store shelves and grocery store lines plays in the background.

This is a template, rather lengthy, so you can pick and choose what parts you'd like to use - or just write your own! If this were enacted at the state or local level, or however needed, it would smoke out all the rich hypocrites who talk it but never walk it .... Dear _________, The ongoing border crisis is a source of chaos, human pain, and economic emergency. Please, as your position or notoriety allows, petition or begin a public outcry calling for new immigrants at the border to be placed in those communities nationwide with the highest per capita income. This is a realistic intervention addressing the needs of all involved, including the many small communities without the resources to adequately meet the needs of new immigrants, as well the needs of their own citizens. Higher-income communities will easily absorb these increasing costs and ongoing needs for additional resources. Local communities are faced with the economic hardship of supporting and accommodating new arrivals, and most of them receive individuals with Covid, other contagious conditions, as well as chronic medical conditions. For many of these communities, their health resources and other safety nets are already overwhelmed and will soon be stressed beyond recovery. Thank you for considering this measure and adding your voice to the many local communities in deep trouble right now as they seek to humanely receive and care for these immigrants and take care of their own citizens.
