700 million, “tens of thousands of migrants”, that’s about ten to seventy thousand per head. And that’s just for transporting them!
So much spice in this article. I honestly wonder if he’s going to swallow his pride and say that NYC is no longer a Sanctuary City (IMO that would be the honorable thing to do), or keep up this charade.
A sanctuary city just means the city is going to let the federal government handle the federal issue. You aren’t a citizen of a state. You are a citizen of the country. So it’s a federal issue.
And it actually has some benefits. Like imagine witnessing a murder and not being able to say anything. They find the body, it’s a mystery, no one knows who did it. You could bring closure to the family… but you can’t say anything. Because you would also get punished.
In a sanctuary city, they can come forward with information without worry about being deported.
Maybe do some research on things instead of just using them as buzzwords.
Shush, we can’t have truth around here. It ruffles too many feathers.
The article is behind a paywall, but I fail to see how being a sanctuary city justifies trafficking people and dumping them in another state. Do you not understand what a sanctuary city is? Or do you not understand that lying to people so they will get on a bus out of state is a crime?

You fail to see how actively supporting illegal immigration is justification for dumping the problem on them?
God no. Though to be fair; the term doesn’t mean much. It means they won’t actively go after illegal immigrants but Biden isn’t going after them either. In effect all cities are sanctuary cities under Biden
And he’ll lose wasting everyone’s money for a marginal bump.
Texas isn’t able to deal with the massive amounts of migrants. Other states have to help out or we simply need to start turning people away.
They seem to be able to handle putting them all on a bus or a plane. Maybe they should send them back instead of onward.
More like NYC and other sanctuary cities are. Tearing down red states who have to deal with illegals.
No one has ever immigrated through New York. /s
Maybe you should elect people to help with migration rather than blame others
We did. Abbott is doing well in this regard. First with the barbed wire along the border, handling border patrol ourselves, and with the calling out sanctuary cities with their bullshit.
Look at those states unite!
More like the Complementary States of Mind
I think you missed the irony of my comment
Awww, did da cwiminal get a fwine for being a pwick?
Did you suffer critical brain damage? I mean you’re a pinko, so obviously
Wow did you just call me a name??!
Reported. Read the rules.
Please read through the rules.
Lmao, rich coming from c/conservative.
Just ban me like the r/ version does when there is any pushback/you get made to look like idiots.
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.
Taxes can’t ship them back. That is against federal law. That’s why they are shipping them forward
Okay, so you believe States should be able to dictate border policy and supersede the Federal government?
Being on a bus from El Paso to NYC sounds pretty damn awful.

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.

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