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.
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?

DP, alternatively, Texans can pay the back taxes that were effectively stolen from the federal government and the migrants who were supposed to get the money, instead of using it to offset private taxes.
It's just that Texans can't have their cake and eat it, too. If they don't want to deal with the migrants, they can't take the money meant for migrants and line their own pockets.

El Paso just received an additional $4+ million to handle migrants. They've set up at least 1,000 beds in the Convention Center to house them - only 300 were there on Friday night. So cut the crap about how there's no more room for them in El Paso.

The government needs to be transporting these hundreds of thousands of people claiming asylum all over the country to even out the burden.
DP. Do you support requiring Texas to return the earmarked funds that were supposed to be used for these people, so they can be actually used to support these people, where they are now going to be diverted?
That would work.

I actually agree. And I have zero issue with the DMV getting their fair share. By the government working with individual states, localities and non-profits, letting them know how many people are coming and when, and attempting to place people near family. And then providing a stipend per person. Dumping a bunch of people on a frozen street on Christmas Eve is, symbolically, as unChristian as it gets.

Inconvenient truth
In other words you are not bothered by the stunt that left them outside in subzero temperatures. Merry Xmas. I’m sure you went to church and pretended you were one of Jesus’s true followers. Because you think Jesus, born in a manger, would approve of dumping refugees outside a non-shelter as a political stunt.

Kamala was out taking care of the people that Abbott so callously sent to score points.
Climate change is driving this migration/ and dumb ‘muricans in their SUVs don’t get it.

A leader would transport them to shelters. A despicable human being who performs political stunts drops them off in front of the Vice President's home.
What shelters are lining up to take them? There is literally no space in El Paso shelters or even in the streets there are so many migrants. It’s a humanitarian crisis. El Paso is a democratic city. It is unconscionable what is happening. There are little children sleeping in freezing temperatures on the street of El Paso. There needs to be more press covering what’s happening. I watch the news in Spanish and every night they cover what’s happening. Families are still being separated. It was a crisis when Trump was in office and it’s still a crisis.
Sounds like you approve of dumping them outside in the freezing cold without having any plans for sheltering them. On Christmas Eve no less.

Half of El Paso’s economy is federal money for border and immigration resources and services. It exists to be a border town.

And where are these shelters that are waiting with thousands of open spaces with the infrastructure to support people with no money, no family, and no personal belongings? Please tell me where it is.
You of course don’t really care. Why don’t you go on over to NW and offer to take in 10 or so of these people and house them, feed them, cloth them for the next 6 months to a year. Why aren’t you doing your part as a Democrat? You really are a terrible person. 😞
