The question is how would it be legal to require these migrants to stay in Texas and not leave for another state. |

| This is a perfect example of how this Administration has complete contempt for the American people. Instead of keeping these people from being released into the country, they just want to use them for political gains. Again evidence that the federal government no longer cares at all what the people want. |

You really don't understand, do you? Trump made a great effort to stop the flow. Biden has encouraged it from day one. |

The House of Representatives already passed H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023, in May of this year. Among other things, the bill would close loopholes that are driving the current crisis, like asylum abuse, nonsensical unaccompanied alien children (UAC) policy, categorical parole programs, and the Flores court settlement. In addition, the legislation would mandate E-Verify, thus shutting off the jobs magnet enticing illegal aliens to enter the United States. Combining E-Verify with closing of the loopholes would dramatically reduce the pull factors that have left our Federal bureaucracy and local communities overwhelmed.
Our friends in the Senate cannot pass this legislation under their regular rules. Majority Leader Schumer and the Democratic Senators have largely supported the border policies of President Biden. They have dismissed any focus on enforcement of immigration law as immoral and believe rewarding illegal immigration will stop the flow of migrants. Before they will consider any support for enforcement of the law, they demand amnesty for tens of millions of migrants present in the country illegally. |

They show up at the border and ask for asylum or refugee status. That IS LEGAL. And the law then says they have to be given a hearing before they can be sent back. THAT IS THE LAW. So then we are stuck with how to deal with them. |

Yes--I understand that all this is legal. The question is how would it be legal once the migrants are in Texas to require them to stay there and not allow them to move to another state as the Biden administration is proposing. Please see the article about the proposal that my comment about legality was in reference to. |

Just because something is legal or not legal doesn't make it right or wrong. Remember when black people and women couldn't legally vote? Everyone knows the vast majority of illegal immigrants claiming asylum are a joke. Is a magic sesame word to get out of jail for free and do whatever you want. Complete gaming of the system. It's be like going to the unemployment line and only having to say 'I'm unemployed!' in order to start collecting UE checks until a court date 5 years later can determine whether or not you truly are unemployed. Insanity. The vast majority of illegal immigrants who show up to court lose their asylum cases. Many never even show up or have made as much as needed and return home. Or return home and hop back over later and start the whole process over again. If they truly cared about asylum they'd remain in place in the country next to them once they fled. But no, they pass over multiple countries on their way here before making flimsy claims of 'asylum'. Pray tell, how do they not claim asylum in Mexico? Millions of Americans go there on vacation. Mexico is fine. They're economic migrants, that is why. No country on earth is required to take in economic migrants. |

Still haven't seen any reasoning on how it is reasonable to turn a problem that costs $10,000 in Texas and turn it into a problem that costs $20,000 plus the cost of transportation, just because some conservative governor wants to make a political statement... |

OF COURSE it's a joke. I've seen statistics that 80% plus of migrants trying to claim asylum don't qualify. Yet for some reason I have not heard even one single Republican advocate for staffing up with more immigration judges and sending them right to the border where they can process migrants on the spot, determine their cases, on the spot, and turn the 80%+ around to leave the way they came. |

So Texas because it has a lower cost of living should carry the entire burden of caring for migrants and NY should not because it has a higher cost of living? Even though NY, unlike Texas, voted for this? |

Read 13:30 above. Talk to your buddy, Schumer and have him take up the House bill. Stop the flow now. And, let's round up all those who have entered illegally, falsely claimed asylum, and ship them back to their home countries. |

+100 Thank you. What we have had since Biden took office is complete insanity. And anyone arguing otherwise can simply look at the (readily available!) data and at all the Executive Orders Biden signed on day one, getting rid of Trump's border initiatives. It's beyond disgraceful what Democrats have done to this country. |

DP. You cannot be serious if you actually think Texas is solely responsible for the care of millions of illegal immigrants. |

Staffing isn't the problem. That is a stupid bandaid solution that doesn't address the root cause. Get rid of all incentives for coming illegally in the first place. Close all loopholes for claiming asylum. Bring back laws stating that migrants have to remain in place in the first country they enter outside of their own. If they don't then they are disqualified. E verify would help but it wouldn't solve everything because they can still make money doing illegal activities and under the table jobs here. Make legal residency a requirement to rent a place, drive a car, own a car, open a bank acct etc. Make it impossible to live here even if you do make it in and they'll stop coming. |
