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

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

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.

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