"Republican admits to people trafficking, no action to be taken"

Laws without enforcement are just ink and paper.

I have no idea why this man hasn't been arrested for kidnapping and human trafficking yet. Because that's essentially what he's doing. That fuck DeSantis, too. They are rounding up people seeking asylum, putting them on a bus and shipping them half a country away from the location of the courtrooms they will have to attend for their asylum hearings, thus making it very likely that they won't make it and will be denied in absentia.

Wow, that's even more evil than I realized.

Doesn't he have better things to spend taxpayer money on, like maybe the power grid?

[–] Anticorp 1 points 3 months ago

Improving the power grid won't keep people angry at the librulz

Hell yea bus everyone up here so less people die next time it snows 1/4" in your shit-hole state and your rugged, lone star power grid shits it's pants for the 47th time.

You're just trying to take our mexican food for yourself! Instead just adopt me, I'll give you the secrets if you vet me out of here

[–] Zron 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Chicago already has a huge Mexican population with good access to amazing Mexican food.

Send them to Minnesota. We've got a dozen different activist groups dedicated to helping immigrants.

It's another grift. His cronies own the airline, bussing company, and private jails; so they're profiting from these policies.
