Only an idiot thinks illegal immigrants aren't all around the nation.

Because the states their being transferred from should be the ones taking care of them not pushing their responsibility onto other places and it's just made worst by the fact this is clearly a callous plotical stunt

I guess it's fine as long as the border states take care of them. The number of migrants Texas sent to New York and LA is just a fraction of the number they're dealing with.

They landed in those states the job of those states is to look after them not push that responsibility elsewhere

Doesn't matter they should be taking care of ALL their immigrants not pushing that responsibility elsewhere and certainly not doing it for a callous political stunt.

Immigration is the responsibility of the federal government. It's the immigration department's responsibility. Just listen to the mayor of New York. It's the Fed that's letting them flow over. These cities welcome them with open arms until they come.

If it's the Fed's job to handle immigration, why are you criticizing any individual state or city?

Because they declared themselves to be sanctuary cities and welcomed them there.

Way to answer the question. Disgusting. This is why I seldom interact with alleged xtians.

Quote:Immigration is the responsibility of the federal government. 

Nope the state government's responsibility and it certainly isn't New York or LA's responsibility to deal with Texas's migrants 

Quote:It's the immigration department's responsibility.

Quote:Just listen to the mayor of New York.

I don't care what he has to say it's Texas's job to take care of the immigrants that land there not push that onto other states. 

Quote:It's the Fed that's letting them flow over.

Letting migrants in doesn't make them the Fed's responsibility  and it certainly isn't New York or LA's responsibility 

Quote:These cities welcome them with open arms until they come.

It's not  New Yorks job to look after Texas's immigrants 


So again there is no inconsistency in their position. The feds can let migrants in and then it's the state's responsibility to deal with them when they wind up there not push that responsibility elsewhere and certainly not as a callous political stunt. So political points for you and your attempt at a partisan  gotcha fails.

Lek needs to take a course
