700 million, "tens of thousands of migrants", that's about ten to seventy thousand per head. And that's just for transporting them!

I was wondering why the comments in this thread suck so much... then I looked at the community's name.

Yeah I was really quite confused. Went from glorious communism to ...this... Thanks for pointing that out.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nothing is glorious about communism. Communism has killed more people than the Nazis. Screw that

Still better than being conservative.

And he'll lose wasting everyone's money for a marginal bump. Meanwhile jackass over in Texas plays politics with immigrants lives.

Being on a bus from El Paso to NYC sounds pretty damn awful.

Maybe you should elect people to help with migration rather than blame others

You guys remember learning about the dust bowl in school? A pivotal moment was when the dust finally got bad enough that it blew all the way into Washington DC. This was followed by government intervention and real change.

Uncontrolled illegal immigration is an issue. Biden is doing nothing about it. And this is a problem for southern states. I see absolutely nothing wrong with taking a fraction of these immigrants and dropping them on the doorstep of the states that say there is no immigration issue.

The reality is, if this truly is not an issue, they should encourage it! Give us your hungry, your sick, and your poor, right?

And if having a literal fraction of these immigrants dropped in your city is an issue, could you imagine being a border state and having these people flooding in? Maybe, just maybe, we should do something about it.

Pursuing a lawsuit against the bus companies tells me they think this is an issue. Maybe their energy is better invested in pressing Biden to step in and address the immigration issue. Instead, they just want this to be an unaddressed problem for the southern states and not the entire country. The equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and closing your eyes.

Imagine if Washington DC had criticized the mid west for allowing their dust to blow east, and tried to build fans that blow the wind back west. Would be pretty pathetic, right?

So Texas is doing something about it? Isn’t it the state’s problem? I mean, states rule their land, right? Or, is it only when it’s convenient? Perhaps Texas, who has them in hand, should send them BACK, instead of forward.

[–] Marcbmann 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Okay, so you believe States should be able to dictate border policy and supersede the Federal government?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Did the federal government ask them to be sent to New York? Is there not an existing policy on how to handle illegal immigrants?

[–] Marcbmann 0 points 11 months ago

Based on recent events, it appears the way we deal with them is by letting them into the country to do whatever.

These states are finding immigrants, and using deceitful tactics to trick them into getting onto busses so they can send them elsewhere.

A normal developed country would apprehend individuals who have illegally crossed the border and send them back. But Bidens administration is not interested in doing that.

I'm not anti-immigration at all. I think we should be fixing our immigration system so that people can legally enter our country with a path to citizenship. What were are doing right now is allowing people into the country who cannot legally work. This means they are taking low paying jobs and living in poverty conditions. Most are not paying taxes. In some ways we have set them up for failure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Taxes can’t ship them back. That is against federal law. That’s why they are shipping them forward
