WTF? Really? Human smuggling?

If they want to classify this as human smuggling then what do you call what Abbot did busing all those people around the country


Texas Attorney General seeks to close Catholic organization that provides temporary shelter for migrants in an escalating effort to take over border enforcement.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wants to stop Annunciation House from operating in Texas because he alleges the Catholic nonprofit is “operating a stash house.”

According to court records, Paxton alleges the organization is involved in smuggling because it provides transportation and temporary shelter for migrants.

“The Attorney General’s illegal, immoral and anti-faith position to shut down Annunciation House is unfounded,” according to a statement from Annunciation House.

In August 2018, Trump held a meeting to discuss prison changes, reentry issues “and other subjects,” according to the president’s remarks at the event. Guests included five governors and two state attorneys general – all but one of whom had received donations from the private prison industry in their state elections, according to data compiled by the nonpartisan National Institute on Money in Politics.

They included former Republican Gov. Matt Bevin of Kentucky ($2,000), Republican Gov. Phil Bryant of Mississippi ($6,000), former Republican Gov. Nathan Deal of Georgia ($78,000), Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards of Louisiana ($13,500), former Republican Florida Attorney General Bondi ($2,000) and Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton ($15,000), according to data compiled by the National Institute on Money in Politics. Perry and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, were among other guests at the table.
 
This isn't just a USA phenomenon. Practically all developed nations demonize "people smugglers" because it's not popular to blame their employers: refugees.

What is particularly unfounded about this, is that it's a charity. The church isn't taking money from the refugees, it's just providing them refuge.

Terribly Un-Christian, don't you think? Shouldn't they be helping Paxton string razor wire across the border? You know, like Jesus would do.
