It’s rather telling that, of all the places they’re doing this to, they focus on Martha’s Vineyard, the one with less than 20,000 year-round residents, because I think that if they focused on the larger communities they’ve been shipping people, their larger point about how undesirable immigrants* are wouldn’t hold up at all.
I’ve mentioned before that they’re doing this with Illinois. Abbott has bussed 500 immigrants off to Illinois since August 31. A cursory Google search shows that there’s over 500,000 undocumented immigrants in the state of Illinois. If those immigrants are a problem in themselves, why would adding less than a tenth of a percent to this total be a big deal? Maybe it’s the fact that they’re basically being stranded in Illinois after being lured into the buses with false promises just because Greg Abbott felt like being a racist cock.
* Note: given that many of these “illegal immigrants” are asylum-seekers (an internationally recognized right for decades) and that these days, the process for legal immigration is so labyrinthine that coming to America legally is out of the cards, it’s safe to assume that Abbott and DeSantis aren’t really differentiating between legal and illegal immigration, so I won’t either.
