Irrelevant it's not their job to look after another states immigrants

I see. "Not I'm my neighborhood!". If they care so much for them, why don't they want them? Talk is easy. Reality is tough. Don't criticize Texas.

Nope it's "take care of your own neighborhood instead of shifting the responsibility to other neighborhoods" but nice try trying to twist my words  

Quote:If they care so much for them, why don't they want them? 

Because it's not their job to look after them. It's certainly not their job to carry the slack for a bunch of bigots who just want to shift them elsewhere.

Nope, both are easy Texas's government just doesn't want to deal with it because "immigrants bad" and wants to shift its burden elsewhere and for that, they can be condemned as they can be condemned for their failure. Your attempt at running interference for Texas fails

The thing is...LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! AN IMMIGRANT! *Whew*

You owe me, Big time 

The message to Texas's governor is straightforward 

Dole out the aid, Build the shelters, and STFU.

Because Texas is the only state that actually had undocumented migrants until Abbott started busing them to other states…

Spoiler alert: California, a sanctuary state, has LONG had the largest population of undocumented immigrants of any state in the union. Yes, more than Texas. So, if the people of California don’t like the idea of immigrants being bussed into their states, I would suspect that it’s for reasons other than their mere presence. Like the fact that they’re just doing this as part of a political stunt that’s, frankly, fundamentally racist. And I suspect that the only way it’d be different for places like New York or Illinois is that there’s just fewer of them already there. I mentioned Illinois because I live there, it’s one of the states Abbott has been busing people to, and I have yet to hear Governor Pritzker say anything like “when we made Illinois a sanctuary city, we didn’t expect undocumented immigrants to actually come here!” Nor Mayors Lori Lightfoot and Brandon Johnson of Chicago. And, frankly, it’d be stupid to think so, since there were already over 400,000 here.

Well, at least this time around, they’re not dropping them off at the VP’s house in summer clothes during a fucking blizzard. Or stranding them with little more than a $10 McDonald’s gift card and an imminent summons at courthouses all over of the country (and, yes, that actually happened in Martha’s Vineyard.)

It is all part of godiboi's plan. Why are you questioning it?

Oh ye of little faith.

Yeah. I should have known better than to expect caring progressives to help take care of these unfortunate people. Leave them with those mean, uncaring conservatives. That'll teach them!

We clearly do which is why the people whose estate they are in should take care of them. Seriously this isn't rocket science

Quote: Leave them with those mean, uncaring conservatives.

Yup because it's their responsibility to take care of them no matter how mean and uncaring they are. 

Quote: That'll teach them!

This has nothing to do with teaching them a lesson it's making them live up to their responsibility no matter how much they don't seem to want to.Frankly that's too bad for them
