[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good news though!

The children of migrants exported by Gov. Abbot from Texas to DC will now be enrolled in DC schools.

Win! [/quote]

From the footage I see there aren't many kids though... mostly young men, actually.  If they come for free housing and food and medicine, they should turn back, if they are willing to work, there is plenty of work to go around municipal projects and city improvements, make people work for the shelter and food at least 4 hours a day, don't give anything free, problem solved.

My church took in some of the migrants on a temporary basis until they could get on their feet.  My understanding was that they very much want to work.  And are working almost immediately upon arrival.[/quote]

Please don't confuse most migrants with the homeless.   We need people able and willing to work. The homeless are neither.[/quote]

Migrants of nearly all types are positively selected in some way; if it were legal, most corporations would only hire migrants.

The homeless on DC's streets are mostly negatively selected in all ways. Mental illness onwards. And then society has mostly forgotten about them, but are occasionally strung along by handouts[/quote]
