[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at the size of Texas.

Look at the size of the district.

Of course Texas has the room. If they need the money, they should absolutely receive federal help. Money for every immigrant taken in.

Or we could just enforce our borders.  I don’t see why Texas is expected to take in migrants but not DC. [/quote]

PP you replied to. We ALL agree on that, but the border is one of the longest in the world and just impossible to secure. High walls were possibly a good idea, but you've seen how easily people can still get across, and how much of it we'd need to build and maintain. Plus, there are conservation areas there, and bodies of water.

We need to act on ALL the options we have: border enforcement is only one of our tools. Being nasty to the illegal immigrants that have been in the country for years and paid taxes is unnecessarily punitive, when we've all benefited from their labor. So the answer has to depend on which illegal immigrant we're talking about, how long they've been there and how they've comported themselves.

Illegal immigrants in good standing should be encouraged to settle in all states that have the room, with subsidies for those states.

Or we could just not let these people enter our country to begin with.  [/quote]

What part of long border/impossible to secure do you not understand?

Do you want to talk to Border Patrol in Texas? They'll tell you about it.

We CAN secure a large portion of our border, which allows agents to concentrate in those areas that are harder to secure.  We can also put pressure on Mexico to stop them on their side of the border. And prosecute groups like La Frontera who aid and abet illegal immigrants. If nothing else, leftists and liberals, who claim to be so compassionate, should want to to do this given the abuses women and girls suffer to get here. Funny how these abuses are ignored. It's almost like liberals and leftist are picking and choosing their outrage.[/quote]
