Google migrants bust to Union Station… Buses have been coming in twice per week filled with hungry people who have no idea of the next steps… Church groups and the Red Cross have been servicing whole families in the right lower restaurant level of union station… Some days it just makes me wanna cry
Sorry for all the bad grammar and the typos I'm using voice recognition because I'm so tired… I really don't like working there anymore… It's really bad.
wtf is wrong with you? Literally 80% of your post is pure lies and garbage.
The Texas buses of undocumented immigrants are absolutely dropping at Union station. I don't know how many, but Montgomery County is taking a lot of them and feels overwhelmed. Not sure who else is helping. It's a nightmare.

Yawwwwwn. Get a new song. This one is stupid and stale.
You’re going to yawn your way to a massive loss in the house, senate, and probably White House. Might be time to wake up so we don’t have trump as president again.
I hate Trump. But this is true. DeSantis looking likely

It wasn’t that long ago that DC had plans to make Union Station a real retail destination. It’s just so sad to see how it’s deteriorated. And it’s not like other areas in DC are so inviting - double shooting tonight at the Wharf, for example.
There used to be more crime in DC but it was concentrated in the bad neighborhoods. Now it’s just everywhere and so unpredictable.

I didn't mind late evening returns to DC or late weekend departures, but I've requested no more of those through my work. If I don't finish at the office until 6 pm, I'm not leaving the city until the next morning to return to DC. Thankfully, my office is very understanding. I don't want to be at Union Station after dark if I can help it. It's simply not safe anymore and it's atrocious that it's gotten that way.
The police literally stand by and laugh at the antics of the homeless (urinating in public INside of the station into a cup; hassling tourists/travelers for $$; spitting at people passing by; having freakin' sex in public!!, etc.). It's a lawless trash-hole.
I don't care if mace is illegal in DC, I have it on my person and always keep it in hand when I'm walking around there.
We don’t need vigilantes walking around terrified and macing any Black person who makes eye contact with them.
I hope you get caught with that mace and your ass gets tossed in jail for it.
Are you sure all homeless people in Union Station are blacks?

Absolutely. They're taking advantage of a "perception of rising crime" around Union Station to union bust. And the DCUM harpies are balling their eyes out over it.
I walked past it last week. There was a long line. Everyone looked like a commuter or tourist. Looked like it always did pre-Covid. I would think with so many shops closed, the remaining ones are doing well. I assume it could be very different late at night though.

Hmmm I wonder if anyone has considered enforcing immigration laws.
How do you enforce a law when the bus , sent by a governor, arrives at 1am with women and small children who haven't eaten for two days. It's despicable. 3,400 people since May.
I believe the pp was referring to prior to them arriving at the governor's state. As in why should that state have to handle all the costs?
They arrived legally and are in the US legally. And they're probably thrilled to get out of Texas - I know the first buses, at least, were full of volunteers. There are many humanitarian issues with the situation but they're not here illegally.
Curious… why do you think they’re here legally? The articles I’ve read don’t spell it out but lots suggest these were people “caught” crossing the border. Doesn’t sound like there here legally.
People cross the border and are allowed to stay until their case can be sorted out which can be years. They are free to travel anywhere. Must connect with family or existing contacts. This is nothing new. Many continue to other places from DC.
Great. One more step towards DC becoming an unlivable city in what's becoming a third world country. Other countries just laugh at the US now.
Right because no place else has issues with immigrants and assylum seakers..except all of Europe.

I pass by Union Station every week day. The tent city outside had more than 20 tents and was just cleaned up by the City towards the end of the school year, May or June. So if you just recently passed by, that’s what happened.

Just because suite people are scared little b****** doesn’t mean there is a problem.
I don’t know what “suite people” are, but why would you want to commute and dine in a place with violent people defacating in public?

Truly despicable. This is why DC needs to be a state now.
