Deep blue cities proudly declared themselves to be sanctuary cities during the Trump years to get (what they thought were) free virtue signalling points. I don't see why it should be wrong to allow them to turn their big words into actual action by making good on the promise of being a safe haven for illegal immigrants. In reality, blue states and cities cling to their open borders rhetoric and policies while implicitly assuming red border states in the south to shoulder the bulk of the burden.

And just for the record: that's still what Texas and Arizona are doing. The number of illegals bussed to NYC or DC is still only a tiny fraction of the number showing up on the southern border. Kinda pathetic when New York, an extremely affluent city of 8 million, cries for help because they have to deal with a quarter of the number of migrants that McAllen with its population of 150 thousand has to cope with, isn't it?

so if you posted on facebook "i take in stray animals because i dont want them to freeze in the winter", and then the local pound dropped off 50 cats into your yard without telling you then that would be totally cool?

What about when you shame other people for not wanting thousands of stray cats and dogs in their neighborhood. If you are against your city being full of stray cats and dogs, you actually hate all animals.


Just using your analogy. Which is a shitty analogy to begin with because sanctuary cities are the aspca if we are trying to be honest here.


The aspca is encouraging everybody do dump your unwanted cats in the desert, while setting up shop in the northern part of the nation and saying all stray cats are welcome with us!!!

Fixed it.

Have you guys read about this? Greg Abbott bussing illegal immigrants to New York and DC?

Apparently after asking for stricter border patrol and it not happening he’s been shipping them to cities that have said Texas is cruel to them and all immigrants are welcome there. But now they don’t have the ability to take care of them(the same thing Texas has been warning about for years.)

I’m not huge on politics but I found it very hypocritical. Texas has a problem. It’s bad. The number of illegal immigrants here is truly approaching nearly 1/5th of the DOCUMENTED population (may be over by now.)

What do y’all think the solution is? Obviously Texas wants help and didn’t get it from their own country so the Texas government is in a “Fuck the US” mode and I don’t see it getting better until both sides agree on some middle ground.

In 2016 when Trump laid out the plan i laid out a more effective plan that costs less. walls aren't effective on the US-Mexican border, and i laid out the differences between that border and the Israeli border.

I actually wrote a lengthy paper on the topic in undergrad.

i'm not at all for unregulated immigration, i'm staunchly against it. i just have a lot more knowledge on how to actually fix it than you, and a complete lack of desire to fill you in.

It is incredibly ignorant to assume that NY and CAL don't have new immigrants coming everyday.

How is it not a deplorable solution when the state can't handle its own shit and thinks it's a "gotcha" moment to ship out your problems to the other state.

At best Abbott's point is "see!! life is hard, don't you see" which is fucking pathetic small dick energy and I wouldn't expect anything different from a solid red state.

Like the dude and constituents are so fucking stupid they think dumping their problems onto other states is at all a solution. So fucking pathetic coming from Texas.

Texas is so shook from Mexicans that they are literally crying about how hard their life is. Jesus fucking Christ can you please separate Texas so we can bomb that shithole
