I keep hearing the GOP refer to these migrants that are being bused to places like New York and Massachusetts as “illegals”. The point is to get the Biden administration to supposedly fix the borders for illegal crossings.
But I just found out that most of these are documented asylum-seekers waiting for their court hearings.
“Republicans frequently refer to those taking the trips as “illegal immigrants,” but most of them are asylum-seekers who have been allowed to enter the country pending the outcome of their legal cases.”
So what exactly is the reform that Texas and Florida are looking for? That we should no longer process requests for asylum?

Fight over border security escalates after governors send migrants to Kamala Harris’ home and Martha’s Vineyard
The latest moves by Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis this week have triggered outrage among immigration rights’ groups and Democrats who have accused the Republicans of engaging in human trafficking and treating migrants like “human cargo” to score political points.
