Hmmm I wonder if anyone has considered enforcing immigration laws.

How do you enforce a law when the bus , sent by a governor, arrives at 1am with women and small children who haven't eaten for two days. It's despicable. 3,400 people since May.

Truly despicable. This is why DC needs to be a state now.

You are OK with people who haven't eaten for two days (or longer) being received and processed by Texas, but not by DC? 3,400 is a drop in the pan compared to what Texas handles on a daily basis. Why don't you get on out there and set up sandwiches and soup reception, like the Poles did for the Ukrainians?

What are you talking about---I'm talking about Abbott playing chess with people's lives. It's a stunt on his part. That's what is despicable. DC needs to be a state so that the rest of the country realizes real people live here. I'm completely fine with DC taking them in, but I find it troubling that they're immediately shipped off on a days long journey when some of them may need medical attention and could rest.

They all choose to go. No one forces them on a bus.

Sure, Jan. Abbott is so generous. From the article posted above this post:

"Since April, Texas and Arizona have sent a combined 4,000 migrants to the District, with officials in both states claiming that migrants voluntarily agreed to take the bus trip north.

It now appears, however, that those participating in the trips may have been under the impression that they would have a final destination other than D.C.

One asylum seeker mother of two from Venezuela told WUSA9 on Thursday that she was told in Texas that she and her family would be sent to Colorado after they arrive in the nation's capital, which never happened.

Another mother of three said a Texas official told her that someone in D.C. would provide her family transport to Chicago.

'But it was all a lie,' she said."

AND ALSO:

"The goal, according to Abbott, was to bring the crisis to the doorsteps of President Joe Biden and other D.C. elite to elicit a stronger response to the southern border crisis from the administration."

Sure, they were surrounded by a bunch of burly guys bristling with badges and guns and asked to get on a bus. Not forced at all.

Also a lie, because DC residents do not have Congressional representation to "elicit" anything from the Federal Government.

Guess Texas better get on board with DC statehood if they want us to be able to do something about the Federal Government?

No? You can't make any of this pretzel logic work?

Seems like an effective strategy to me. People, including the elites, are noticing and it will only be more of a concern once many more people are sent to DC. It’s way easier to ignore the border issues when you don’t live anywhere close to it.

What strategy? Texans are schizophrenic about border policies. Do this stunt isn't really a surprise, viewed from that light.

Pretty low though.

Honest question do we owe people crossing the border illegally a free trip to wherever they want to go? What other that is similar to the US just let’s people walk across their borders and go wherever they want? I’ve travelled to many countries in Europe and South America. Without a visa or documentation of my arrival and departure I wasn’t going anywhere.

What does that have to do with any of this?

Frankly, I don't blame Gov Abbott and Texas at all. Why should they be the only ones who have to deal with this?

Yeah it's all fun and games for you until someone breaks into your car

And you don't think people in Texas feel the same way??? Why should they have to bear this burden alone? The idiots who vote for Democrats are responsible for this problem, and there are a hell of a lot more of the, proportionally, in the DMV than there are in Texas.

Agreed.

This^. Nobody thinks any freedoms or respects need to be taken away because of race or poverty or mental health but if one citizen's issues effect other citizens, social service, police or security needs to do their job.

Is there any way to privatize and/or lease out the space in Union Station? Like a shopping mall or any other private space generally open to the public, a commercial operator would have strong financial and liability incentives to keep out dangerous and disorderly conduct.

It has been privatized.

Also the common areas? Or is this maybe a case of the landlord not doing their job?

The landlord is apparently bankrupt, Amtrak paid 250 million to the courts to take over the common areas, but the landlord wants 700 million . Big court mess
