[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think this will be an issue. If these are migrants who aren’t being deported, then they’re being released pending a hearing or something. They will go wherever they were planning to go - probably to stay with family or try to find work. We have local nonprofits who can help. Others will just continue on to where they were going including back to Texas if that was their plan. The buses are just a silly stunt. [/quote]

I would also point out that the term “illegal immigrant” is totally inappropriate here. It’s a lie by Republicans. They’re talking about people who presented at the border and applied for asylum. That’s not illegal! They’re not even “undocumented.” [/quote]

Nobody said illegal. You inserted that to color this conversation even more politically. I think people were just having a discussion and you are charging it with loaded terms that hurt people's feelings. [/quote]

Abbott is referring to them as “illegal” even though he’s acknowledging that the people on the buses have been processed and released by the feds, presumably to wait for a court date.

“Abbott has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to charter buses and flights that would send to Washington willing migrants who've been processed and released from federal custody, his office said.

"To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden Administration to Washington, DC," Abbott said during a news conference Wednesday along the US-Mexico border in Weslaco, Texas.”
