[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Migrants tend to be hardworking people who are looking for opportunities not handouts.[/quote]

They tended to be, but we don't know what the new wave of massive illegal immigration will bring, especially if we give them free housing and other freebies.  There is little motivation to work back breaking jobs for peanuts when you get a free hotel room and 3 meals a day, free clothing and schools for kids, etc.  You would expect some portion of migrants might want to take advantage becoming new welfare class if they can ride the wave.  Still better life on handouts than what they used to have where they came from, why not.[/quote]

There are very very few reasons why able-bodied grown-ass adults should be coddled with free housing, food and other things.  [/quote]

Yeah, down with trust fund babies![/quote]
