Investigation Chatter

 The District of Columbia (DC) Attorney General (AG) wants to open a formal investigation of 'busing' illegals into DC-City.

I should note....it's just a PR-announcement.  He doesn't say how the inquiry would work, or how much effort would be put into this.

The basic facts?  Some folks from Texas and Florida are funding chartered buses to take illegals across state lines....to DC (among other places).  

Each person was given a slip of paper....advising this was a 'deal' (free ticket), and the destination was 'x'.  I should note here....it was in several languages (it's possible that the migrants can't read, and that might be a legal issue).

So far?  195 buses have arrived in DC.....giving them roughly 8,200 folks.

Having lived up in the region of DC....I will say that local services are crappy and regular homeless people.  Around two years ago.....the estimate for homeless folks in DC was 6,000.  

But here's the other factor.....most all of the 8,200 folks....I believe....have found Latino networks....gotten jobs, and probably living in non-city provided homes (going out into Maryland and Virginia).  The work they've taken up?  Well....it's work that local black community would have had (landscaping, restaurant work, pubs, and construction).  

The AG worried?  Lets say the trend continues....with another 8,000 by April of 2023.  Journalists will eventually start asking stupid questions, and this whole sanctuary city stuff will become a joke.  Meanwhile....let's imagine DC by spring of 2024 (election period starting up) and 25,000 illegals now in the city.  Just how will this dynamic work, and angry will be population of legal residents of DC become, and who do you blame?
