Evidence that the migrants bused to these states weren't taken care of?

That's what this country has always been about. I don't love or hate immigrants any more or less. What I am in favor of determining what amount of immigration is the best for the country, setting quotas, and fairly and effectively enforcing that for the good of all Americans. Currently, illegals are being put up in hotels at taxpayer expense, while Americans, including disabled vets, are in the streets.
And you're in favor of tricking immigrants on to buses and sending them to a location where there's a snowstorm in their shirtsleeves; without telling anyone they're coming. And do you know under which adminstration veteran homelessness fell? Starts with an 'O'.

California is about 23-24% Republican, been that way pretty steady lately.

If a large group of immigrants entered this country, With very nasty viruses, Never tested causing the mass death of those that lived in America, I'm assuming you would not be in favor of that, correct?
Sure. I'll bite.

So the immigrants I was referring were the first ones, The white ones that brought new viruses to the indigenous people of America. Not to mention the genocide of said people
This would have led to me asking what lek defines as an immigrant.
I knew that's what you were getting at from the beginning. So what? I agree that the native Americans got a bad deal.

If they would have been able to control immigration it wouldn't have happened like it did.

Are you seriously comparing colonization to modern immigration?
Pro tip one was a state-based program of replacing the native populous with a European one. The other is simply people trying to get to America to look for a better life. Also, i doubt the Europeans would have taken no for an answer. But the notion is moot as the two things aren't the same

I don't think anybody who isn't high on drugs could seriously make such an asinine comparison. The differences between the two are glaringly obvious.
