First Texas bus drops off migrants blocks from US Capitol in Washington, DC
Fox News ^ | April 13, 2022 8:57am | Ronn Blitzer

The bus pulled up at approximately 8 a.m. local time, blocks away from the U.S. Capitol building. Fox News has learned that they came from the Del Rio sector in Texas, after coming to the U.S. from Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

According to TDEM, Abbott’s plan is already working. The agency told Fox News on Monday that many of the communities that originally reached out for support – from the Rio Grande Valley to Terrell County – say the federal government stopped dropping immigrants in their towns since Abbott's announcement on April 6.

“Assisting with the dispersal of illegal aliens is not beneficial.”

I was about to post:

“Who will be the first squishy mealy-mouthed loser R to “harumph!” and say it’s unhelpful?

Mitt?”

Never occurred to me it would be some dude right here, in the third post of the thread.

Unless...is that you, Mitt?

Some of us have been calling formthis for YEARS. Satisfying to see one leader actually do it.

Can you imagine if 10 more govs follow suit? 30?

The federal government is doing enough of that, they don’t need help.

Sorry, I disagree. We lose because we apply their rules for us, on us. But, really, we lose because that is what we’re supposed to do.

The illegal alien inundation has been the top priority of both parties for 30 years.

So much so that they cooperated to cheat Trump out to get it going again.

There is no way they will start enforcement because Abbott sends a few to DC.

....

And if Republicans don’t do anything, you bitch about that too...right?

Good for Abbott! Let these elites enjoy what they force on others!

He should be stopping them from entering from Mexico.

The only thing I wish he’d do differently is not ASK them if they want to go, but just take them from processing straight to the buses no matter what.

But then I’m not a public figure but an angry Texan who is tired of Spanish being the first language everywhere I go.

Do you have an actual clue as to how difficult that is, given the length of the border, it’s difficulty to oversee and the fact that we get ZERO help from the feds to patrol it?

Take that up with the Catholics that fund that.

Actually your tax dollars fund that. The US government has given almost $200M in grants to the Catholic Church for this mess in the last two years alone.

So I highly doubt that the Catholics really matter in this equation. They could cut off all individual contributions and the Church would still be flush with money.

just LOL if you think illegals are the only reason CA is the most solidly blue state. No, you could Thanos Snap all of them out of existence overnight and CA is still a blue state. Better to keep the purple states from tilting over to their column.

Why would dropping them in the VA and MD suburbs get the attention of the DC Kens and Karens? These are quite distinct and not terribly connected areas. Obviously you have not spent much time in the DMV.

DC already has lots of migrant workers doing those jobs, since our education system is not educating/training locally born to fill them, or paying too little to attract them.

They don’t have the look of the small underfed people who come from Central America where hunger is a real issue. Probably have relatives who have taken their money and run from these sh%&hole countries and resettled here. Often with some education and useful job skills. Now we are starting to get refugees from Ukraine, who again probably were somewhat better off if they had the money to fly themselves from Europe to our continent. They are likely to settle in without causing any serious disturbance to our social services budgets.

I pitched this idea a year ago. But now that it’s actually happening, I’d rather see them kick kicked out of the country.

SC already ruled on this against AZ. Said states can not move immigrants as that would be implementing policy which is not up to the states. Abbott dont care.

The United States Constitution requires the federal govt to protect the individual states from invasion.

If it refuses to do it; there is one solution...


We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--
 
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --
 
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,
 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
 
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
 
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design
 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,
 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--
 
Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;
 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
 
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,
 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.
 
To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

The Constitution does not provide for any penalty ...

Then folks will just have to take the law (WHAT law?) into their own hands.
