Everyone I saw working today is Hispanic or Middle Eastern. We need more busloads of people who are willing to do the work that Americans cannot do.

Do you think the immigrants being dropped off in NYC are chemists? Teachers?

NP. No, but they are construction workers, restaurant workers, housekeepers, janitors, etc… you know, those in-demand jobs that Americans are clamoring for.

I am aware of many low skilled/low skilled men who want to work construction, but cannot get the opportunity due to the undercutting of pay.

because a bunch were dumped on them by another state who had no authority to do that. Those governors lied to the people and were basically human traffickers for a political stunt.

But weren’t those unlawful immigrants dumped in those other states by a federal govt that isn’t enforcing security at the border because doing so is unpopular with the political class in those states now doing the complaining?

So you think small, under resourced towns in rural Texas should absorb the massive costs of dealing with a huge influx of people who shouldn’t be here, but draw the line when a few hundred show up in NYC?


Seriously- how do you defend that?

I'm not defending anything, but last I checked TX, FL, and NY are part of the US, and the federal government has the authority to deal with illegal immigrants, not a governor who is looking to score political points and looking to run for POTUS in two years.

Also, Desantis had ZERO authority to ship illegal immigrants from TX, a state he has ZERO jurisdiction in. So again, he's basically a human trafficker. We should put him in prison.

Yes, the federal government has the authority.... but when the federal government shirks that authority, the states most heavily impacted need to take action.

And, are you equally as outraged about the mayor of El Paso (D) busing migrants to NYC?

DeSantis should be awarded a medal for what he did. The Democrats are FINALLY talking about the crisis at the border. That is a miracle.

No it’s not up to the states. Sorry not how it works. When Texas leaves can you join them?

The federal government should help any place that has a lot of refugees, but new Central American and South American refugees are not actually visible in New York and don’t seem to have any noticeable effect on quality of life in New York. If anything, New York has done a good job of getting things back under control in the past year.

Not sure how you can make this statement in all seriousness.

Gov. Kathy Hochul ripped Mayor Eric Adams’ handling of the Big Apple’s out-of-control migrant crisis, accusing his administration late Tuesday of being slow to act and ignoring repeated offers of state-paid assistance.

The harsh — and previously unseen — public criticism of the city’s migrant response was laid bare in a scathing, 12-page letter from Hochul’s lawyer Tuesday night in the wake of the mayor’s persistent cries for extra state and federal help battling the escalating crisis.

I just can't take anyone seriously who makes excuses for the absolute disaster that our southern border has become.
It is not "global conflicts." And, while the amnesty granted by Reagan proved to be a huge mistake (Dems didn't keep their side of the deal), it is not what is causing our current crisis. These people coming probably don't even know who Reagan is.

Our current crisis is the result of Biden's campaign rhetoric, his campaign promises, and the actions he took on Day 1 of his presidency sending a loud and clear message that his administration had no intention of enforcing our border laws. Period.

But they know that several past POTUS have provided amnesty, including a few R ones. They know that they can get amnesty. That is the point. They don't care who the POTUS is.

They know what Biden and Harris have said. They know the actions that Biden has taken.
They know that he has essentially welcomed them, encouraged them to enter illegally, and they know there will be no ramifications for doing so. In fact, they know that Biden-Harris will reward them for their efforts.
Don't take my word for it. The migrants themselves have said they are coming now because Biden is president. And, the border agents have said our current crisis is the worst they have ever seen it.
This is a dereliction of duty plain and simple.

I don't think this means what you think it means.

There's a difference between treating immigrants horribly and "encocuraging them to enter".

I want controlled immigration too but there is only so much we can HUMANELY do. I'm not a fan of the locking people in cages approach. Or booby traps.

The migrants are coming from alllllllllll over. Especially from Venezuela.

Why is it the USA's responsibility to take in people from Venezuela when those people were stupid enough to vote in a socialist govt and leader? They ruined their own country. First Democrats said we needed to provide 'asylum' to people from El Salvador fleeing gang violence. Then Mexico, then Honduras, and now Venezuela too? They're fleeing all the stupid govts they elected and are here for economic opportunity. No country on Earth is required to let you in just because you want better economic opportunities. Ridiculous. Everyone else in line at UCIS trying to come in legally is in line because they want better economic opportunities too. Biden and Harris allowing in unfettered mass migration makes a mockery of our laws and our right to be an autonomous country. Keep shipping them to Biden's beach house, DC, NYC, SF, Chicago, Boston, Philly, etc..Give the Democrats exactly what they asked for.

They are also coming from countries like China and Afghanistan.
They are coming from all over. They have learned they can fly into Mexico and get into the US easily.

Oh, please. You would have had to be living under a rock to not know that Biden essentially invited migrants here.

During the Democratic primaries, Biden encouraged migrants to surge the border...

"What I would do as president is several more things," Biden said at the first Democratic primary debate for the 2020 election. "I would in fact make sure that there is… We immediately surge to the border, all those people who are seeking asylum."

Also during the campaign, he said that Illegal migrants should get healthcare and be eligible for programs like Medicaid and Medicare.

Then, he proceeded to overturn every policy in place that was working.

And, then, his administration told border patrol that they cannot deport migrants simply because they are here illegally.

Biden has been an absolute disaster for the border. And, anyone who attempts to justify ANYTHING he has done regarding the border has to be an open border advocate. There is no justification.

Actually it's the Wal Mart shopping conservatives who demand cheap strawberries picked by illegal indentured servants.

Us urban elites pay top dollar for locally picked expensive strawberries from the local.farmers market. I pay extra so illegal indentured servants aren't needed.

Wages are low because Republicans don't care about living wages and don't want to raise the minimum wage. Higher-paid construction workers are unionized. Republicans want to bust unions.

When did NYC offer to house migrants and pay their expenses? They didn't. So why is Texas sending NYC migrants, lying to them, claiming that NYC made that offer?

And don't say "you voted for this blah blah blah" and "sanctuary city blah blah blah." Nobody voted to spend millions housing and feeding random migrants. That's not what "sanctuary city" means. Sanctuary city only means that a city isn't going to do the feds' job on immigration control for them.

Right wing media fantasies.

I suggest you familiarize yourself with the laws governing who we can and cannot immediately deport and under what circumstances we can. To simply deport everyone here illegally IS IN FACT AGAINST THE LAW and has been for much longer than Biden has been President.
