Well that is a straw man, fluffy.
Adopting is one thing.
But if someone came in and camped in my back yard with his extended family, and sent his 5 yr old to my house and I was expected to take care of all his needs (plus those of the extended family trespassing in my yard) sorry I'm not obligated to do it.
It's fine if Texas has laws that make them "adopt" all the criminal insurgent invading colonists and pay all their expenses, let them do it.
Not the rest of us.
The way to take care of these children is to stop all benefits to the illegal criminal parents and then they will go back to their own country and raise their kids.
And if they don't want to pay for their upkeep, make their government do it.
Common decency doesn’t permit us to shift others in and out of communities as easily as that
You are right!
Let the parents show some common decency and responsibility and take their kids back to their country of origin and work to make it better than the USA!
The issue is whether Texas should sever the relationship that the Federal government created as soon as it is legally able to do so. The children of illegals are not remotely like squatters in your yard. Like it or not, we've taken them in and made them part of our community. We've taken responsible for them and the question of how we put that burden down is not a simple one. Everyone of normal intelligence and minimal decency should understand that.
Clearly you would prefer that states not be responsible for the children of illegals, but they are. That fact has important implications for the proper relationship between the state and those children after they reach the age of majority. Raving about that reality doesn't contribute anything useful to the national conversation. You have to deal with things as they are, or be written off as a fringe kook.
