I live under the approach to Ann Arbor Airport. I accept and live with what that means. But if they expanded the runway so large commercial jets flew over my house so low they rattled my dishes at 3 in the morning I would have a legitimate complaint. If my neighbor started cooking meth and the cops wouldn't do anything I would have a legitimate complaint.
The federal Government has essentially refused to do their job and secure the southern border.
Let's say for argument's sake that is absolutely true. Border is not secure.. people who are in need and not well off are doing whatever they can to get here.. because they think their life can be better here. Otherwise, why would they want to come?
How does herding them onto a plane or bus and sending them thousands of miles away actually help them? oO help better secure the border?
This is a political stunt that is hurting actual real human beings. And I can't accept hurting innocent people to "make a point".
It doesn’t help them. Now if they had a process in place and worked with the blue states I’m sure they could have come to a solution to get these folks relocated while their asylum claims are settled. But dumping them on another states doorstep and running because “you said you welcome these people so here ya go!” Just flat out smells rotten.
Abbott and DeSantis are really into political stunts. Their base likes to watch said stunts and thinks they are the cats meow for whatever reason.
Absolutely. Leave the migrants to run the streets of Laredo, and fend for themselves. Don't let these people shatter the tranquility of Martha's Vineyard! Fifty people! Goodness gracious, that's too many!
I would quote Carl Sandburg, but it wouldn't do any good.
More have been promised. The beef is with not being informed so they could be prepared. And using them as props in a clear stunt. I’d be willing to bet DeSantis doesn’t give a whit about this one way or the other.
Yep, more "word salad" excuses.
And yet... all of those people were baked to death in a hot semi trailer outside San Antonio, and all we heard was crickets. Where were the compassionate, concerned liberals then?
Word salad? Good god man.
So you believe no liberals were concerned about that event? What are you? 7?
Flagg is a bit simple with his interpretation of historic events. He can't see the difference between criminal players like coyotes and Republican elected officials playing games with vulnerable people's lives.
For Kristian Trumpers are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.

They're probably out looking to rent some more trailers!!
