[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was thinking about this earlier today and was wondering why Texas and Florida have only sent bus loads of migrants to DC, and not to Montgomery County.

Montgomery is exactly the kind of place Texas and Florida SHOULD be sending them. There’s a well-funded array of social services to handle the needs of newly arrived migrants. The population is overwhelmingly progressive and would welcome more immigrant POC with open arms. County taxpayers would willingly pay higher taxes for programs that served new arrivals, and would similarly approve of zoning changes to allow more subletting of domiciles and higher density housing.

How does one get in touch with the state government officials in TX and FL who are involved in relocating migrants? Because I would want them to start sending busses here rather than DC. We are much better equipped to serve them than DC. [/quote]
You’re trolling, but the entire point of having planes land in blue areas with no advance notice, and therefore no planning or preparation for an influx of undocumented immigrants, is to create a crisis for those blue areas. People sneaking across the border aren’t sending their itineraries in advance of their arrival, so DeSantis and Abbott are making the point that bleeding heart liberals should have to walk a mile in their shoes in terms of dealing with the humanitarian crisis. They don’t give a shit about the human suffering inflicted on the people they dump elsewhere.

I’m a progressive who thinks it’s entirely fair to spread out undocumented immigrants throughout the country while they’re pursuing possible amnesty, instead of making border towns absorb them all — but it’s just plain cruel to deposit them someplace where no one is expecting them, no preparations have been made, and it’s not even during business hours for local aid organizations. They’ve dropped off immigrants from South American countries in cities in the NE in the midst of bitter winter weather, without regard for the immigrants’ lack of winter apparel. It’s inhumane, and it’s been done this way specifically to stick it to the libs, but the undocumented immigrants don’t deserve to be used as pawns.[/quote]
