Your first paragraph pretty much nails itIf these grandstanding scum meant a single ****ing word they've said about illegal immigration, they would all have a long history of pushing for legislation that would make being caught employing illegals knowingly or even negligently that the civil and criminal penalties would be so great nobody would consider the risk of getting caught an acceptable risk of business.
They certainly wouldn't repeatedly shoot down multi-billion dollar Democrat laws aimed at providing a range of border security actually being requested (drones, sensors, all sorts) and only demanding a Great Wall of Derp, even as people cut through, climb over, or tunnel under the existing beefed up "wall".
It's all a show, folks. And if you like what the GOP is doing, you're getting played so hard it hurts to watch.
The Democrats? Well, they obviously don't care enough to make it cost prohibitive to hire illegals either. What kind of moron or liar (who excels most at lying to themselves) thinks that's a reason to vote GOP? They just make loud noises. If immigration was my #1 issue, I wouldn't have anyone to vote for.
In reality, we need to expand and streamline legal methods of entering and remaining in the country. There are various things we need to be realistic about. Namely, that even illegals are less likely to commit crimes than Americans. That we have a falling birthrate that is already too low. That immigrants legal or otherwise really do work their asses off, generally doing jobs that Americans won't take. And more.
Immigration is not bad, and the reason we have so much illegal immigration is specifically because of how we choke off the legal stuff. As if it's some kind of zero sum game where a new arrival working a job is a net loss to America. It's not. Not in any way.
That would be called human trafficking unless every person on that bus agrees to the free ride. They can also disembark at any stop.Great idea of the governor's.
Send those ladies & gentlemen & children & babies to D.C. and especially to Delaware, where they can stay at a certain family's compound.
He can’t.. Even if someone agreed to a free ride they can change their mind and disembark anytime.How can Abbott legally put anyone not under arrest on a bus? I'd tell him to take a hike.

Most of these migrants are protestant Christian or Catholic, but that doesn't matter when their skin is not the same shade as Wonder bread and they can't vote for Republicans. So much for conservative family values.The polls tightened up..
Leviticus 19:33-34
New International Version
33 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. 34 The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
He is doing the same thing the Biden admin is doing. What's your problem with that?Sometimes you just have to shake your head at the stupidity of our governor...
As federal officials brace for an increase of thousands more migrants at an already busy southern border, Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that Texas will provide charter buses to border communities so migrants can be sent to Washington, D.C., where the Biden administration can better deal with them.
"To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington D.C.," Abbott said in a press conference in Weslaco."We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border."
Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to bus migrants to Washington, D.C., will be voluntary
Abbott said he’s responding to the Biden administration announcement that it will lift a pandemic-era emergency health order that allowed immigration authorities to turn away migrants at the border, even those seeking asylum.www.texastribune.org
Is that what you call what the feds are doing as well?That would be called human trafficking unless every person on that bus agrees to the free ride. They can also disembark at any stop.
The feds are doing the same thing.How can Abbott legally put anyone not under arrest on a bus? I'd tell him to take a hike.
LolHmm… Texas governor offers “free” charter bus transportation to ‘undocumented’ immigrants. Will Beto try to offer them something better?
The feds have jurisdiction. Abbott doesn't. I'm pretty sure you can't force someone onto a bus. That would be kidnapping.The feds are doing the same thing.
What's the problem? The Dems wanted this, so send the problems that comes with it to Dem areas.Sometimes you just have to shake your head at the stupidity of our governor...

Then you would be accused of being hateful, because he can't. He's in a wheelchair.How can Abbott legally put anyone not under arrest on a bus? I'd tell him to take a hike.
Biden has the authority, Abbott does notHe is doing the same thing the Biden admin is doing. What's your problem with that?
The feds have the power to enforce immigration law, Abbott does not.. Do we need a basic civics lesson?Is that what you call what the feds are doing as well?
Where does Biden have the authority to send, under the cover of dark and without the consent of state officials, a slew of illegals (who may or may not be COVID infected) into states?Biden has the authority, Abbott does not
