That’s actually what has been happening. DC working with MD based groups to move the migrants to MD and out of the city.

Yes, our government has been asking for them and getting them, and now we are having trouble paying for them.

Here's a good overview from last year

A bit misleading. MoCo is not accepting all transfers from DC.

From that memo:

Nuclear families with children who entered the U.S. after April 2022 and
can validate their A-number (asylum/alien) are submitted for eligibility determination to the DC
Office of Migrant Services. Single men and women are directly directed to shelters in DC, while
extended families (including, for example, grandparents, aunts, and children over 24 years old)
are referred to the Montgomery County Respite Center to prevent family separation.

Also, these folks coming to MoCo have their A number, which I assume, means that they had their cases heard by a judge.

You can get into the weeds all you want, but what is undeniably true is that DC is trying to pull a TX and bus the migrants to MD.

? I didn't deny that, but it's families and children only, not all.

DC are trying to send all. Montgomery County is only agreeing to accept families with children.

That is the dumbest policy I have heard of from MOCO (in a long time) has a lot of stupid ideas. Why would we only agree to accept the most costly migrants that are going to be a drain on county finances. Children and elderly people don't work or pay taxes to MOCO. So they won't be self-sufficient and MOCO will also need to provide social services for them. Around 64% of school funding is derived from local tax revenue. Every migrant child costs the county around $13,300 a year for schooling.

I do understand their lives suck down there. That does not mean they get to break the law to come here.

Simple concept. Not so simple if it's you and your family, children, who are suffering and in danger. Hardly anybody in the US knows what that is like. What would you do if it were you? Wait around for years or maybe never for a legal chance at a better life?

Not our problem, the penalties for illegal immigration need to be very strict to discourage other people from attempting it. They should be deported and receive a lifetime ban from immigrating to the US, if they are caught crossing the border outside a legal port of entry. We cannot save the entire world from unfortunate circumstances and wanting a higher paying job is not a valid reason to move the US. I don't think they are trying to ruin our lives, but the US cannot take millions of fake asylum seekers every year. This is completely unworkable and it creates a significant burden for US taxpayers. You are ridiculous, I am not being entitled I am having a discussion about out current (dysfunctional) immigration policy. If anything the entitled people are the ones moving here illegally that expect the US government to give them housing and food (covered by US taxpayers).

It really doesn't matter "why" people are coming here. That shouldn't be their choice.

OP must be looking for free or cheap household staff.

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.

I don't think migrants have had any problem finding Montgomery County on their own, even after being bussed to DC.

32.1% foreign born in 2022, and the highest of any jurisdiction in the area. Most common country of origin for Maryland is El Salvador, and that seems consistent in MoCo as well.

Wow, the troll farms in suburban Moscow have stepped up their game. A+, well played.

One of the biggest challenges is the schools. One of the elementary schools in Salisbury (a poor small city or large town) is getting 20 new Haitian kids a day. Wicomico County is one of the poorest counties in Maryland.

I’m a single person. I don’t have the resources of a county. But the county I live in has plenty of those resources, and more importantly, can afford more. And the tax base will support it.
So let’s bring them here. We can handle the burden.

This, these migrants, who are running from bad lives could be us if we were born into a different situation. We lack workers. Bring them here and give them jobs and a good life.

Deport all of them. People using children as an excuse to break immigration laws and take advantage of US taxpayers.They also need to do mandatory genetic testing to see if people are lying about their connections to people. Ifr they are lying they should get a permanent ban from immigrating to the US.

And send all thr descendants of immigrants to get in line with the immigrants, instead of skipping the line. No more legacy citizenship from ancestors.
