Texas sends buses of migrants to Chicago for first time, dropped off at train station

[Conservative]

Agree.

Busing illegals to another State does nothing to get the Feds to protect the border and slow the amount of illegal crossings.

No but it is a one time cost vs reoccurring cost and let's blue cities know what red states are experiencing

 

[bomberfox]

So why are people abandoning other (Blue) states for states like Texas?

There are red areas of blue states duh. Are you this ignorant about districts? There are even severely racist areas in california.

"Texas sends buses of migrants to Chicago for first time, dropped off at train station"

So another self proclaimed sanctuary city is going to scream bloody murder? Make political hay out of this?

How many migrants has the Biden administration shipped there?

If the border weren't so open and more secure might not be such a problem, but that would require Biden to reverse course on his present border enforcement policies, and that ain't gonna happen.

 

[bave]

Not in NY, but it changes nothing of the statement. Using human beings as cheap political pawns is disgusting.

Yea, welcome to the world. Happens every day, one every side of the political spectrum, all over the world.

Not true Canada does as well. Not that I agree with it.

You're right, Canada does do it. They however have never had an issue. They have the best border wall you could ever imagine, the United States. Not a lot of Guatemalans are going to walk into Texas and decide to keep walking another 2k miles to Alberta.

 

[Callen]

Being as how there has been no attempt at all to curb the flow of illegals streaming into this country, I see little alternative for Governors of border states than to send them to places like Chicago, New York, and Washington DC. To expect Texas to shelter them all is ludicrous.

You have a vaild point but the manner in which this is being done by Abbott is mean-spirited and politically motivated. all the Mayor of NYC has asked for is some level of coordination. If Abbotts' real reason is as you describe he would do that.

 

[Callen]

They however have never had an issue.

Really? Maybe one you don't know about but there have been many issues just not with Mexicans. Especially with those who have birthright citizenship but then go back to their home countries and when things get hot there demand the Canadian government rescue them......

 

[coyote505]

Just contract with Southwest Airlines, hell, that would be cheaper...

I googled Dallas to DC bus fares. About $200. Where is the rest of the cost?

 

[Fearandloathing]

The Biden administration has been flying them around the country.

Tit for tat is NOT valid..You Cannot justify an immoral or illegal act by saying 'he did it too."


My question was 'is isn't that kidnapping?

I DO NOT give a tiddler's **** about "libtards" "righty-wrongers" or whatever the American people are hating this week. They're all corrupt.

Except the Republicans have Trump....which is a living crime in itself.

where is the math that generated that ignorant response, Thought the economy was booming under Biden, guess the poll numbers lie

I am so sorry that the US Economy doesn't suit someone who needs the massive central gov't and nanny state. Dependence creating ideology seems to motivate you

Texas sends buses of migrants to Chicago for first time, dropped off at train station

Texas officials sent buses carrying migrants to Chicago on Wednesday night, both arrived around 7:30 p.m., adding to Democrat cities selected for drop-off locations.

www.foxnews.com

This is a wonderful opportunity for our international guests to experience the melting pot that is America. I understand that Chicago offers a free gym membership, that includes dodging bullets; and educational opportunities including memorizing license plate numbers during drive-bys.

Giggle giggle snort snort!

 

[tres borrachos]

I think this is a great idea. It makes the Trump devotees feel better about their cult leader losing the election, and they think they're sticking it to the libruls. Winning!

If the Democrats in Chicago wanted to reduce themselves to the childish level of Governor Abbott, they should round up all of the unwanted babies and ship them to Texas, since they are all pro-lifey about the precious babies down there.

 

[trouble13]

Cool. We'll start sending you all the wife abusers, tweakers, tax dodgers and the morbidly obese - okay?

Interesting that you would equate them to illegal aliens

half the cost of illegal immigration to the state but then don't ever let any official data get in the way of your partisan BS

 

[tres borrachos]

Your point and your question are irrelevant. You think Texas should deal with this alone, when all those states voted against border control? Do you have the slightest ability to be logical? Liberals states voted for this, they should at a minimum share the problem.

When was "border control" on the ballot in the "state" of Chicago? Link?

 

[trouble13]

I object to human beings bussed hundreds of miles for a political stunt, with little regard for those inside those busses.

Did you not understand it the first time?

They walked thousands of miles. I'm sure they appreciate a bus ride for the last leg of their voyage.

 

[Michael Cole]

There are red areas of blue states duh. Are you this ignorant about districts? There are even severely racist areas in california.

And there are lots of immigrants in those blue cities.

Yeah, the argument is quite ignorant. *old man shakes fist at blue cities*

 

[Ouroboros]

Governor Abbott didn't give two shits about elementary kids being shot to death in his state at a school, but he goes out of his way to make sure that illegals are being bussed (using taxpayer money, which goes against the "principles of 'conservatives'") to Democrat cities, to make some random point.

Nothing random about it. The point is that Blue States are generous with other states' resources. Abbott's giving them the chance to ante up.

 

[SuperDS77]

The Biden administration is tasked with immigration policy. The state of Texas isn't.

Nobody hears about Biden flying migrants anywhere. Abbott keeps himself in the news with these stunts. That's the complaint, again.

Imagine that! /s

It's a political dick move by Abbott. Help the people, help the federal government, or get out of the way. Using innocent people looking for a better life, just like your ancestors, as a politically driven protest against the administration's immigration policy, is a first, class, dick, move.

Is that clearer?

What is not clear is what should be done with the immigrants instead of what Governor Abbot is doing.

Should they be bused to a different city? Should they be sent back to their home countries? (My preferred option.) Left to roam around Texas? What?

 

[Fletch]

The only thing I have heard them ask for is some level of coordination so they know when, where and how many will be arriving. Seems reasonable unless of course, you are just trying to score political points...but with whom I am not sure.

Oh they need notification of when 90 people will be showing up? 250,000 cross the border every month in Texas and they dont get any notification. The simple fact is, these big liberal city mayors dont want them. And Biden has been flying these migrants to cities all across the country for months and notifying no one.

 

[trouble13]

Lol, you think the Dems are forcing businesses and private citizens to hire undocumented immigrants?

Do something about it to stop it

 

[SuperDS77]

WHY don't we hear a word about the 25 Billion the dems offered for the wall back in 2017 and McConnell refused to work with them on the Birther issue
YES IF McConnell would have worked with the dems we could have had 25 Billion worth of wall already built and this problem wouldn't be happening BUT no it was something GOOD for the country and we all know the Republicans couldn't let that happen and the Dems get credit for it
so lets not talk about that and blame it ALL on Biden
have a nice day

So they are for the wall? That would be news to most.

 

[trouble13]

You are making in political then. imo, the best would be to have all States share the burden.

Abott is spreading them around

 

[American]

As usual disgusting posts by you in order to score cheap points and get that sweet, sweet hit of serotonin at the delusional notion you’re “getting the libs”.

All while actual human beings are used as your political toys and actual solutions to immigration and migration never materialize.

When it is your nation and its policies, particularly relates to drug policy along with your populations insatiable appetite for illicit drugs is one of, not the only, but one of the massive factors as to why these people are here in the first place.

Buses are on their way to Canada too. More fun.

I hope you find your answers.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Agree.

Nope. I can't help but wonder if it actually incentivizes people in that they will get a ride to one of the cities they might have been interested in going to in the first place. For urban centers needing service jobs that have been slow to recover, this seems like a gift.
