Boston Taxpayers Last, Illegal Immigrants First: Michelle Wu’s Dangerous Agenda

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is proving once again that woke politics are more important to her than public safety. When Attorney General Pam Bondi pressed Wu to work with federal immigration enforcement, Wu doubled down on her sanctuary city obsession. She claimed Boston’s policies “keep people safe,” but critics see it for what it is: a clown act that shields criminals while law-abiding taxpayers get the bill.

Her press conference looked more like a comedy sketch than leadership—complete with mariachi bands and overblown speeches about “tyranny.” It was political theater designed to win points with the woke crowd, not keep Boston families safe. Meanwhile, real criminals slip through the cracks. Sanctuary policies make it harder for law enforcement to cooperate, creating safe havens for dangerous people who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

Polls consistently show that most Americans want immigration laws enforced. But Wu and other woke mayors choose politics over protection, making cities like Boston, New York, and Chicago playgrounds for criminals. By cherry-picking which laws to follow, Wu sends the message loud and clear: illegal immigrants come first, taxpayers come last.

Business leaders know this culture of lawlessness is poison. When safety breaks down, investment and growth dry up. Instead of protecting families and fostering prosperity, Wu’s policies push Boston closer to chaos.
