He’s grandstanding, probably a future campaign ploy. People should wise up to this BS. Con games and lip service is all they get.

[NetAddicted]

That actually sounds likely.

[sport]

I knew that there was a catch to it.

[henbane]

. . . the program is completely voluntary for migrants and would happen only after they had been processed and released by the Department of Homeland Security.

Processed by Biden-infested DHS processors who will process the fear of God into the illegals re volunteering to take any transport whatsoever to Washington D.C.

I thought you could do anything to a criminal so long as it didn't count as cruel or unusual.

Putting criminals on busses should be Okay.

[slouper]

Told ya so, all bark, not gonna happen.

[OKSooner]

Less than 24 hours. He just lost the election.

All hat and no cattle.

[Does so]

“Putting criminals on busses should be Okay.”

How else will “The Party” in “The District of Corruption” get their “affordable” Cocaine?

[momincombatboots]

I disagree because they have been flying and bussing these folks to red states. What’s stopping a state from following the fine example they are setting. Heck.. make a brochure about all the jobs and free stuff in dc.. then bus the next group to beautiful marthas voneyard.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Voluntary??? Well, I’m sure they’ll all be lining up to go to DC, you giant wuss!* /sarc

LET ME LET THEM KNOW MY INTENTIONS, GOOD MOVE STUPID

Offer them each $100 to voluntarily go. Money well spent.

“But soon after the press conference, Abbott’s office released more details about the plan that struck a notably softer tone.”

I have known for some time that Abbott has turned out to be gutless. Abbot may be gearing up to come out with another sharp condemnation of racism. He likes to do that. Makes him feel like he has accomplished something.

[maddog55]

All red states should ship them to DC.

[sauropod]

Kinda makes this a “what’s the point” exercise.

"... will be voluntary."

My guess is that a tiny percentage, if any, of the illegals will voluntarily take the bus to D.C.

I get the sense that Abbott the politician is merely making threats to make him sound tough. His threats have no teeth.

[Conservat1]

“His threats have no teeth.”

___

Indeed.

[SMARTY]

Right!!

1. Should have been done long ago
2. He should NOT have announced the plan... Just do it, already!!

[PLMerite]

“Not legal under Federal law.”

Give ‘em all Trump hats and call AntiFa/BLM.
