The decision by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and former Gov. Doug Ducey (R-AZ) to begin busing illegal immigrants to Democrat-run sanctuary cities has been a political masterclass in forcing your opponents to recognize a problem of their own making, and it is now paying dividends for the 2024 elections.

President Joe Biden has dropped New York City Mayor Eric Adams as a campaign surrogate after Adamss repeated criticism of the administrations handling of the border crisis. Adams had been repeatedly asking for federal aid as Texas and Arizona bused illegal immigrants to New York City, very quickly claiming that the city was overwhelmed after receiving a small fraction of what much smaller border towns have been absorbing for years.

BIDENS LATEST EFFORT TO MAKE EVERYTHING YOU NEED MORE EXPENSIVE

This came to a head last month, when Adams outright said that the president and the White House have failed this city. Adams and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander also took a swipe at Gov. Kathy Hochul and the delays in aid promised by the state budget.

As a result, Adams has been dumped by Biden, with anonymous quotes coming out from the advisory board that Adamss comments are almost certainly what got him the boot and that the relationship has soured. The immigration crisis has put a wedge between Biden and the Democratic mayor of the biggest city in the country, all because Abbott and Ducey made sure that New York City was experiencing a smaller version of what their own border towns have lived through since Biden came to office.

This is the cherry on top of an exercise that exposed Adams, as well as Democrats in Chicago and Washington D.C., as being hypocrites when it comes to sanctuary cities and illegal immigration.

The buses of illegal immigrants have left those cities whining about the strain on their resources, erasing their sanctimonious attitudes toward border states that have endured the brunt of this crisis from the beginning. You can only imagine how much worse the complaining will be with the upcoming surge at the border as Title 42 expires.

Abbott and Ducey both deserve credit for this move, which could have easily been a weak political stunt if executed poorly.

Instead, by simply asking sanctuary cities to live up to their names, they have caused widespread introspection (or, at the very least, involuntary admissions of failures) among Democrats running these cities. It was an incredible play, and one Republicans should keep in mind as the border crisis prepares to grow even worse.
