Boston’s Mayor Wu:
“Every single human being has the legal right to come to the United States and seek shelter” pic.twitter.com/HKBbyXRPVY

In a brief video clip that resurfaced on Saturday and quickly went viral, Boston’s far-left Mayor Michelle Wu summed up what no doubt many of her fellow leftists take to be axiomatically true. If it even came close to being implemented, it would destroy the United States utterly, but after all, what do leftists care about preserving what they think of as a racist, imperialist entity existing on stolen land? And so as far as they’re concerned, the destruction of the nation wouldn’t be a bug, but a feature.
In the clip, which actually dates from March 2025 but which Mass Daily News reposted on X Saturday, quickly racking up nearly five million views, Wu says simply: “Every single human being has the legal right to come to the United States and seek shelter.”
The mind reels. Yes, Michelle Wu is a leftist, but one might have assumed that she nevertheless possessed some rudimentary ability to think at least somewhat clearly. After all, she managed to rise to the top of the leftist heap and get herself elected mayor of Boston. She can’t really be this stupid, can she?
Well, uh, yeah, she can. Her mind is by now so brimming with propaganda and cant and hive-mind ideas and sloganeering that her rancid ideology has completely overwhelmed her ability to evaluate ideas in a remotely rational manner. She is so used to the idea that it is morally wrong and evil to oppose an inundation of migrants into the United States that now she thinks that placing any restrictions at all on immigration, such that even one person on earth is prevented from coming here and pursuing the American Dream, is a sign of resurgent fascism in Donald Trump’s Amerikkka.
Michelle Wu obviously hasn’t done so, but rational people should pause for a moment and consider the implications of her claim that every last human being on the planet has a right to come to the United States. There are around 8.3 billion people on the planet, which means that nearly eight billion people currently live outside the United States.
What Michelle Wu is actually saying is not only that eight billion people should be welcomed into our poor borderless land, but that then the much smaller number of working people in the United States are obligated to pay for their upkeep. Socialism, after all, is being generous with other people’s money, and so Michelle Wu is essentially demanding that the productive people of this nation, who are already shouldering the burden of our corrupt and bloated welfare system, must take on the additional responsibility of the care and feeding of literally everyone in the world.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I am sure Ms Wu would be glad to share her her house or her houses with at least 10 to 12 refugees each after they where all built on “stolen ” land. Who where the original “owners” because different native American tribes where fighting, killing and enslaving each other for well over a thousand years over land before the first European set foot in the Americas? Yes we should welcome in millions of new democratic voters who have no education ,do not want or need to speak our language to collect benefits .Who will game the system ,never assimilate .If they are “true ” Moslems hate us want all of us non-Moslems either ,enslaved ,converted, or dead.

I really wish there was a way to give Ms Wu a one way ticket – to Beijing! She’d then learn what real Fascism and racism is about
Taffy says
She’s of Taiwanese origin. But a trip to China would work for me. Maybe she can tell Xi how evil his government is.

Taffy
She’s not native Taiwanese: her grandparents fled from mainland China to Taiwan. So she is of Chinese, as opposed to Taiwanese, ancestry
Taffy says
You are correct! Thanks for the update.
Wu preceded Mamdani’s call for “free” public transportation in NY with.implementing “free” public transportation in Boston. A first Boston bus line eliminated the fare during Covid, supposedly for safety concerns. When she took office, not only did she not reinstate the fare on that line, but she removed the fare from two others.

The goon in NYC is already whining about the budget not meeting the expenses….so he’s going to raise taxes on the ‘rich’….again.
They never take the money out of their own paycheck or bank accounts.
John Pepple says
I’d send her to Afghanistan. She obviously has no fear of Muslim men coming to America and turning her into a second-class citizen, so she should welcome her new status there.
WPM says
This is what happens when you elect people very far removed from real life .They believe their own communist propaganda that was spoon fed to them in college .They would gladly remove you to a frozen waste land to die of exposure or starvation or rot in the subtropical jungle and die from starvation or exposure if you disagree with them if it was in their power . This is the stuff that kill millions in Russia ,China ,and South East Asia some parts of Africa in the 20th century. Now idiots in blue cities in America are electing their destroyers who will kill your future maybe kill you for your own good .They are dead sure that communism will work this time after about 120 years of failure and millions dead .

They have the right to apply and come legally, that is true. They do not have the right to force themselves illegally into the country
Brenrod says
Is Bostons electorate moronic or are illegal aliens voting in Boston?
somehistory says
What she said is not the Truth….America has the same legal rights as other nations and the President can decide who can enter….or not.
If she enjoys the overcrowding, she should be sent to china…or perhaps egypt where people live in crowds in their homes….40 people in an apartment there.
If a person is going to make laws, enforce laws and *represent* the people, that one should know and understand the Law. this idiot wu does not.
Stacy says
Rights are natural, inherent, inalienable. They come from God.
These people call PRIVILEGES as rights.
They are saying a nations existence is a right at the same time they say nations being nationalist is evil.
But what right is she talking about? Where is this right written?

James Klug interviewing….or trying to….people in New Orleans on the street. He spoke to several older people …with accents….who carried signs about “our streets.” All of those people said they were not Americans, but Europeans and that no one is illegal, everyone can go where they want.
What gall. Coming here and demanding that the U.S. accept everyone, no matter.
Guards tried to keep him from interviewing, and some woman with a loudspeaker told the crowd that he was ‘trolling’ and they were not to speak to him.
