I wonder why they ran out of housing.
Hates that conservative states are trying to enforce immigration laws...gets pissed that they're being shipped up to them.... that's not what we mean. Surprised Pikachu face
I do suppose you have a comment about how those same conservative states have been given hundreds of millions of tax dollars to do this exact thing, yet haven't, don't you?
Considering they're dealing with a massive border and not state lines... I'm confused about why you think one which is cool with unmitigated flow of people into the country and whining when they made a law to house everyone no questions asked..and the other which is trying to stop it.
Or are you ok with mass amounts of people flooding into the country? Because they don't allow it over in the EU or in Australia or NZ....both are used constantly as beacons of how the USA should be.
So you agree then that the lower states shouldn't receive money then if they refuse to actually do anything about it? Especially since mass. is double dipping by giving money to those lower states to do exactly what they're doing, plus also opening their own communities for these people.
Do anything about what? If they're not properly enforcing the laws by shipping people to another state to make a point, yes they should lose funding. ICE should be handling the borders anyways. It's a federal jurisdiction not a state one. Why ICE likes to use state resources is beyond me. 20k people ICE employs, it needs to be a lot more to secure the land bridge we have.
Kidnapping and human trafficking are not enforcing immigration laws. How rotten is your brain to think that it is?
Who kidnapped anyone, and human trafficked them? Are these people being sold as sex slaves or are they now in a state that was required to house them?
Republicans in Texas and Florida. You know this. You just don't care about the actual facts.
Show me where these people were kidnapped and trafficked?
They literally talk about it in the article. Why does it not surprise me that you don't actually read. Just consume your propaganda whole and unquestioned.
lol, no they did not. There is no point in the article that bussing immigrants to blue states is kidnapping and trafficked...the fuck is wrong with you people.
Lying to people and taking them where they don't want to go is literally kidnapping them. But leave it to a conservative apologist to feign their actual ignorance.
Since when does a state have a right to expel people from their own state and forcibly relocate them to another state?
Technically they should have deported someone who is here illegally.
Why? That's a civil violation and a federal one. It is not a state crime. It is not the job of any individual state to deport anyone.
I shudder to think what else you find funny. I suppose someone getting thrown into an oven makes you giggle, doesn't it?
How did you come up with burning people from blue states acting like immigrants should be just allowed into this country with no procedures and laws that need to be followed?
