[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like a lot of people in this thread just have not been to the Texas border recently and have not paid attention to this story outside of the tabloid news coverage about the evil Republicans vs Good Guy Democrats.

Over the past two years (since Biden was elected) there has been a massive influx of “asylum seekers” crossing the border. Texas (and other border states) have been begging Biden to step in and provide better border security, and instead he pawned it off to Kamala Harris to deal with.

Over the past year it has become a humanitarian crisis. Shelters are completely full, churches are completely full, charities have run out of money, space, and other resources to help, and again border states begged the federal government to assist in relocating some of these migrants to other states so they aren’t literally dying in the street because it simply isn’t reasonable for El Paso (as an example) to hold the entire responsibility for our unsecured border. Again, the federal government rebuffed them.

So they started to relocate these migrants on their own. Because they cannot handle the crisis on their own, and the federal government’s basic response was that if they didn’t see the crisis from their window, it wasn’t a crisis.

Should never have came to this, the government should have made strengthening the border a day one priority to begin with, and then built their own system to transport those asylum seekers let in to all fifty states rather then relying on five states handling the entire crisis, but you cannot blame Abbot and DeSantas for doing the right thing and sending these migrants to other states that are fully capable of handling them.

And before people start piling on me, let me specify that the people most heavily effected by the illegal immigration crisis are primarily Latino residents living legally in these border towns getting overrun. These areas are majority Latino areas, as well as generally poor areas, and they are being overrun by a crisis that the federal government has spent the past two years pretending doesn’t exist. And then when their state steps in, are told that it is all because their governor is cruel and just playing politics.[/quote]

It’s a simple yes / no question. Do you think it was appropriate to put refugee migrants into a bus to drive them to a destination that was not a shelter and out on the street in subzero temperatures with no provisions such as winter coats and hats, or information about where they should go to get out of the elements, just to score political points?[/quote]

DP, but its not a simple question. The migrant situation is extremely overwhelming for border towns. Texas isnt out of line for making the border czar take some responsibility. I feel bad for the migrants. But we cant provide the life they expected here anymore, all in border areas. We have a big nation and other parts will have to step up if we keep accepting migrants at this pace.  [/quote]

DP.  You are full. Of. Shit. If you actually cared about migrants but felt they needed to be taken out of Texas, you wouldn’t be advocating for this kind of stunt that endangers people’s lives while accomplishing nothing.  You would be criticizing Texas for not making appropriate arrangements in advance with shelters to take them there instead.  If malice were not one of the motivators, Texas could have bused them to DC, but taken them directly to a shelter prepared to take them in rather than dumping on the street in dangerous conditions to wait while the shelter arranged its own transportation to take them to a safe place,

We all see through you.  Everything you post this kind of nonsense, you cause people to take immigration less seriously as an issue, because you illustrate that even the people who claim to be worried about it don’t take it seriously. [/quote]

DP. Texas was also in a major cold snap. Basically your whole argument is that you would rather these illegal immigrants die in the streets of El Paso instead of dying in the streets of Washington, DC because so long as they are dying is Texas you do not have to see the humanitarian crisis that has been driven by this administration. I bet you will also act surprised when Trump is reelected by a margin that makes Reagan's reelection look like a nail-biter (and I am not a fan of Trump).

We cannot make federal decisions and then act surprised that the states effected by those decisions want the federal government to take responsibility of the outcome(s) of those decision. This is like a parent tearing the door off their teenage son's room and then being surprised when he is taking suspiciously long showers. [/quote]
