Of course, it's a political stunt, one that's clearly working because you're all losing your fucking minds over it.
YOU caused this. For more than 50 years now the border states have been dealing with this problem, people just showing up and being dropped in their towns. While the Republican leadership hasn't been great on solving the issue either, the rank and file have been vocal about it for a long time and the Democrats' response has been to lecture, finger point, make the ever so predictable racist accusations, while mockingly declare themselves sanctuary cities and states and expressing their heartfelt sympathies for all of these people from their elite white enclaves one thousand miles away. You people refuse to address this issue and you openly encourage it and now your chickens have come home to roost. You've received but a small taste of what Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Florida have dealt with for decades and suddenly now it's a "humanitarian crisis." The federal government has been putting these people on planes in the middle of the night and dropping them in middle America for years, but now when Texas (including the Democratic Mayor of El Paso who get almost no attention over it) and Florida do the same it's "kidnapping" and "human trafficking."
You people are so full of shit it's flowing out of your ears and everybody is seeing it. It's another example of "Not In My Backyard" Karenism.
Walk your talk or shut the fuck up and help solve the problem once and for all
