Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston testified before Congress regarding her city’s immigration policies, preparing extensively with legal assistance expected to cost up to $650,000. This preparation involved her staff, law department, and external legal experts. During her testimony, Wu faced tough questioning primarily directed at other Democratic mayors but maintained her stance while holding Republican lawmakers accountable for their role in immigration legislation. Wu's clear responses included a reminder of Congress's responsibility in enacting comprehensive immigration reforms, emphasizing that misconceptions about immigrants are damaging.
"When answering a question from Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona, Wu turned the blame back to Congress, saying, 'respectfully, Congressman, you could pass bipartisan legislation, and that would be comprehensive immigration law.'"},{
