I don't know about dropping them off at Kamela's front door, that's purely politics, but I love the idea that they are getting access to all this welcome and aid all across the US.
How many additional illegals should we welcome and provide aid ?

2 million

5 million

10 million

20 million


Unlimited ?
Once again, talking about illegals, and legal migrants, are 2 different conversations. I think no state will be bussing illegals up North, they'd get into some serious legal trouble, aiding illegals.

So these are legal migrants. We do not take in unlimited, we theoretically have a plan for these migrants who come to the US the right way, with the right paperwork, backgrounds (maybe) checked.

If you're aware of all this, I don't understand your point.

edit: You guys are howling like hyenas but assuming I'm right and these aren't illegals, you're making leftist points for the left. You see brown people and immediately jump to "deport the illegals." That's not a good look........

As I said, Abbott is doing these people a huge favor. Desantis I'm not sure, if he just keeps flying them to resorts, that doesn't seem like doing them a favor. But bussing to large sanctuary cities with the social services and available jobs to give these people a great chance at a new life is just an amazing opportunity. Why not frame it as that? Why do you guys have to drone on and on about how much you hate
illegals?
Funny, you want to pretend illegals are suddenly legal simply because Biden asks them to super duper pinky promise to appear at a court date later. What we see here is as plain as your deflection; democrats wanted to do exactly what you're doing here and play the race card every time anyone sought to secure the border. Democrats pronounced to the world that illegals were welcome in their sanctuary cities (why would legal immigrants need sanctuary?) Now we see you democrats losing your minds that brown people are showing up where they were invited and it's back to the race card. Oh right, YOU claim you're happy and that, despite their own protestations by the cities themselves, these sanctuary cities have a plan to serve these illegals, right? Nevermind what they're saying about not having space or resources, trust you on this, right? Hahaha, hey, we are glad at least one leftist likes this, because forcing democrats to reveal their hypocrisy in such a public fashion is greatness to the rest of us.


Thought conservatives wanted to apply the law as written. Characterize it as condescendingly as you want, when those people stepped on the bus they were legally in this country.


So the outcry about "transporting illegals" was just the same kind of political stunt that sending them to MV was?

I have little doubt that DeSantis is trying to score political points, but sending a handful of folks to one of America's most exclusive vacation spots also brings a very serious issue that has been basically ignored to closer to the top of the list.


Yes. Both sides are using this group to score political points.
But up until now only one side has felt the negatives of open borders. That had to change.


I agree that it has been easy for Limousine Liberals to talk the talk but not walk the walk. We should still expect our elected officials to follow the law.

Really think this surge of humanity from central and South America is going is going to stop on it's own ?

Why would it ?

Who is going to feed these increasing millions ….who is going to pay for their medical care ?

Really think any country can absorb the annual surplus work force of two continents indefinitely ?

Another example of how virtue signaling changes when reality confronts it. We see this all the time with "climate change," public schools, guns, crime, taxes, charity, t'racism, etc.

Most of these migrants are seeking asylum. Venezuela is a failed state. Whether they qualify for asylum is a question to be decided by immigration courts that have been poorly staffed and overburdened under both Dems and Reps, but they do have a legal right to request it.

How is lying to desperate people and then dumping them out like stray dogs and cats dumped on the side of rural highways to fend for themselves in any way Christian? These migrants weren't even in Florida. Jesus Christ was a refugee. Mary and Joseph fled Harod's murder campaign into Egypt. Where would DeSantis have dumped them?

America needs immigrants. We have an aging population and lots of work that needs doing. Bush tried & his own party wouldn't support him. DeSantis pulling a stunt like this doesn't bode well for any serious attempts to fix the situation, and the unending GOP talking points blaming the "border crisis" on Biden are disingenuous when Republicans also refuse to work with Biden / Democrats on anything.
The law is very clear on qualifying for refugee status. People must be fleeing religious or ethnic or political persecution, imprisonment or death for who they are or what they believe. Among the many things NOT qualifying for refugee status: poverty, hunger, crime, political instability.

NONE of these migrants qualify. +90% of them will, should they actually show for their hearings, ultimately be rejected for asylum. Because they do not qualify for it. But they are here. And because we are a free society with limited internal controls on movement or employment, we cannot round up illegal immigrants for deportation in this country. They have to actually break a law to get arrested before deportation is anything more than a theoretical threat.

.....because federal bureaucracy is refusing to uphold its enumerated constitutional responsibility to defend the border, as a matter of partisan policy.

We need to immigrate 2-4x more people every year than current statute allows. But political leadership (on both sides of the aisle) knows the American people would never support changing law to add 2-4x more legal immigants. So. Our government just stands back from the border and facilitates illegal crossing, and goes thru the processing an arraignment for deportation proceedings they all know will never happen Ergo we have a de facto open border, facilitating thru the back door the levels of immigration we need to benefit our society but cannot get thru the front door because the American people do not want it. The price is, we don't get well educated immigrants who bring skills, knowledge, and capital into the country. We get the poorest of the poor illiterates along with large percentages of convicted felons and gang members.

But hey, consumption rises with every body that crosses the border, and JBK gets to virtue posture about how racist it is to talk about rule of law, so there are at least a few winners.

The dude has totally lost his mind ….seriously.

Mechanization took over most of agriculture decades ago .
Only a relatively few sectors utilize raw labor .

Even on my farm we only employed 6 full time workers year round .

And they were all legal .

Can't put a man worth 8 dollars an hour on a $ 200,000 piece of equipment and expect things to work out .

There's just a little over 2 million farmers in the US, that includes the illegal labor you're refferring to

Over 2 million have crossed the border this year and it's going to look like that every single year moving forward...so nah, your response ain't gonna fly, they're not all needed for crop work.

A big problem with your responses lately is you have this caricature of a racist MAGA bubba in your head and you think everyone who doesn't agree with "centrist" views fits that description. You couldn't be more wrong. Use logic and realize we have a crisis and no amount of virtue signaling is gonna make it ok.

I live and work with MAGA people every day. They're not caricatures to me.

Obviously farm work isn't the only work done by immigrants. The point is that they contribute to the economy and they're not going away as long as the jobs are here.

It's profitable and marketable for both parties to maintain illegal immigration.

The elected class answers to money, they don't answer to the people. That's where your beef lies, not with taxpayers being asked to fork over more money, resources and welfare to illegal immigrants.

I assume you then disagree with the federal judge who yesterday ruled that persons under felony indictment have a 2nd amendment right to purchase firearms. After all, 90% of them will be convicted to or plead to a felony.

It is inevitable these millions are going to get bored, semi hungry and fed up with the entire process.

Then there is going to be real trouble......everywhere.

Then watch the politicians cave in .

'Reparations' or some form of 'compensation' for illegals....count on it .

If 50 immigrants overloaded the system at Martha's Vineyard, what does the 2 million immigrants that cross the border do to the border states?
as I was saying..




This is good. We're talking about Biden policies instead of MAL

Yes. Del Rio, Texas is the Beverly Hills for illegal immigrants.



And this lady thinks Del Rio or any other border town has the infastructure for this. Of course they don't.

First, they weren't illegals. They were legally seeking asylum. They were in a migrant center in San Antonio.

Second, the vast majority of people at Martha's Vineyard were gracious.

So, you think it's morally and ethically right to take a group of Venezuelans, who were here legally seeking asylum from a left-wing government, make false promises to them, fly them from San Antonio to Florida to Martha's Vineyard, and dump them there with no support?

You think it's morally and ethically right to use people seeking asylum as political props with no real policy objectives other than cruelty?

I don't know how a moral person could think such things were right.

Actually, no, it wouldn't "otherwise go unharvested." It would be harvested by legal immigrants or by workers who were citizens or by automation that would allow for fewer workers to do the same amount of work. It would be harvested because the farmers would not get paid if they didn't find a way to make that happen and they are very resourceful.

I live and work with MAGA people every day. They're not caricatures to me.

Obviously farm work isn't the only work done by immigrants. The point is that they contribute to the economy and they're not going away as long as the jobs are here.
It's profitable and marketable for both parties to maintain illegal immigration.

The elected class answers to money, they don't answer to the people. That's where your beef lies, not with taxpayers being asked to fork over more money, resources and welfare to illegal immigrants.
I have no beef with the taxpayers. I have a beef with people who promote stereotypes of immigrants and pretend they do nothing but suck up resources without contributing (speaking of caricatures).

They don't pay federal taxes. So there's absolutely truth in stating they don't pay their fair share.

If you took the same population of average Americans and compared the amount of taxes they pay to the amount that illegal immigrants pay, you're gonna be off by hundreds of billions.

It's not about being against welfare, its about millions of Americans about to lose their homes due to inflation and we can't help them, but we can help illegals. It's not fair at all.

That's the sentiment of America first. Use our own money to solve our problems first before we even think about helping others. I will die on that hill.

First, they weren't illegals. They were legally seeking asylum. They were in a migrant center in San Antonio.

Second, the vast majority of people at Martha's Vineyard were gracious.

So, you think it's morally and ethically right to take a group of Venezuelans, who were here legally seeking asylum from a left-wing government, make false promises to them, fly them from San Antonio to Florida to Martha's Vineyard, and dump them there with no support?

You think it's morally and ethically right to use people seeking asylum as political props with no real policy objectives other than cruelty?

I don't know how a moral person could think such things were right.


It is morally wrong to make false promises. What promises were made? Is it morally wrong to declare yourself a "sanctuary city" and then toss the people out who you said you would offer sanctuary to? Sounds like false promises to me.

It is not morally wrong to transport someone from San Antonia (high of 95) to MV (high of 75) where they did, based on what happened, have plenty of resources and support available for that small number of folks.

Why do you say this? The perception of illegal aliens is that they work in low-paying jobs. Most people in the United states who work full-time minimum wage like get tax refunds that exceed their payments and will utlitmately receive social security benefits based on the amount contributed.

Do the illegal aliens also recived earned income credits that give the a net negative cotnribution to the operations of the government? Will they receive social security, Medicaid and Medicare benefits based on their social security contributions.

Corn?
He's not aware that they use combines to harvest corn.


The dude has totally lost his mind ….seriously.

Mechanization took over most of agriculture decades ago .
Only a relatively few sectors utilize raw labor .

Even on my farm we only employed 6 full time workers year round .

And they were all legal .

Can't put a man worth 8 dollars an hour on a $ 200,000 piece of equipment and expect things to work out .
"Undocumented farm workers make up approximately 50% of the farm labor workforce. Without their hard work, millions of pounds of food would otherwise go unharvested."

https://www.fwd.us/news/immigrant-farmworkers-and-americas-food-production-5-things-to-know/



Actually, no, it wouldn't "otherwise go unharvested." It would be harvested by legal immigrants or by workers who were citizens or by automation that would allow for fewer workers to do the same amount of work. It would be harvested because the farmers would not get paid if they didn't find a way to make that happen and they are very resourceful.
Probably 20-30 percent of crops go unharvested as it is. If costs exceed the price the farmers can get, they're not going to get paid anyway.

I'm really talking about illegal immigration welfare.

Here are the stats for Texas:

  • Texans pay between $579 million and $717 million each year for public hospital districts to provide uncompensated care for illegal aliens.
  • Texans paid $152 million to house illegal criminal aliens for just one year.
  • Texans pay between $62 million and $90 million to include illegal aliens in the state Emergency Medicaid program.
  • Texans paid more than $1 million for The Family Violence Program to provide services to illegal aliens for one year.
  • Texans pay between $30 million and $38 million per year on perinatal coverage for illegal aliens through the Children's Health Insurance Program.
  • Texans pay between $31 million and $63 million to educate unaccompanied alien children each year.

That's over billion dollars per year while veterans don't qualify for squat. At the current rate of crossing, this number will be tenfold within a decade.

Absolute bull**** .

Our biggest problem is an enormous wave of humanity pushing into our country .

An overwhelmingly unskilled and undereducated wave .

A wave that is only going to increase as the perception grows that free food , shelter and medical care awaits .

And Biden's handlers have instigated this problem intentionally.

None of this is an accident .

Once again, talking about illegals, and legal migrants, are 2 different conversations. I think no state will be bussing illegals up North, they'd get into some serious legal trouble, aiding illegals.

So these are legal migrants. We do not take in unlimited, we theoretically have a plan for these migrants who come to the US the right way, with the right paperwork, backgrounds (maybe) checked.

If you're aware of all this, I don't understand your point.

edit: You guys are howling like hyenas but assuming I'm right and these aren't illegals, you're making leftist points for the left. You see brown people and immediately jump to "deport the illegals." That's not a good look........

As I said, Abbott is doing these people a huge favor. Desantis I'm not sure, if he just keeps flying them to resorts, that doesn't seem like doing them a favor. But bussing to large sanctuary cities with the social services and available jobs to give these people a great chance at a new life is just an amazing opportunity. Why not frame it as that? Why do you guys have to drone on and on about how much you hate
illegals?
Funny, you want to pretend illegals are suddenly legal simply because Biden asks them to super duper pinky promise to appear at a court date later. What we see here is as plain as your deflection; democrats wanted to do exactly what you're doing here and play the race card every time anyone sought to secure the border. Democrats pronounced to the world that illegals were welcome in their sanctuary cities (why would legal immigrants need sanctuary?) Now we see you democrats losing your minds that brown people are showing up where they were invited and it's back to the race card. Oh right, YOU claim you're happy and that, despite their own protestations by the cities themselves, these sanctuary cities have a plan to serve these illegals, right? Nevermind what they're saying about not having space or resources, trust you on this, right? Hahaha, hey, we are glad at least one leftist likes this, because forcing democrats to reveal their hypocrisy in such a public fashion is greatness to the rest of us.


Thought conservatives wanted to apply the law as written. Characterize it as condescendingly as you want, when those people stepped on the bus they were legally in this country.
nope.. doesnt matter what they do in this country, they are not here legally until they are..

I have family friends dealing with this right now. The husband and 3 kids are all legal US citizens by birth. The wife is a dreamer who was brought here illegally at age 5. Now, 26 yr old and still not legal.

Being here doesnt make you legal.
