Texas spends more than $12 million to bus migrants to Washington, DC, and New York...great value for taxpayers?

[Hang on Sloopy]

Would you accept an organ from an illegal that has lived their life in squalor and likely used drugs? You are a colossal dumbass if you would.

Like I was really serious

February 8 2022
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich claims in a new legal opinion that Republican Gov. Doug Ducey can declare the Grand Canyon State to be under “invasion” in order to begin deporting suspected illegal immigrants — but Ducey appears reluctant to do so.

Republican Arizona state Rep. Jake Hoffman requested the opinion, which was published Monday night, after former Trump administration officials Ken Cuccinelli and Russ Vought proposed last year that border states like Arizona dust off an obscure provision in the Constitution to address the border crisis.

Cuccinelli told The Post that “this obviously turns attention now not just to Gov. Ducey in Arizona — though that’s the logical first place — but over to Texas and people asking, ‘Well, why don’t you do this?'”

High-profile former Trump administration officials are urging border states such as Texas to declare that they’re under “invasion” by illegal immigration and use state law enforcement to return to Mexico people suspected of illegally entering the US.

The provocative policy idea is outlined by Ken Cuccinelli, a former acting deputy director of the Department of Homeland Security, in a paper published by the Center for Renewing America, which is led by former White House budget director Russ Vought.

Cuccinelli and Vought said in a statement that Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott should adopt the policy.


Of course, typical..........blame others.

That's Trumptards job, waste $$$, then whine about it.

That's an opinion. Get back to me when someone actually pulls it off and Quid Pro doesn't send in federal troops to shut it down. Instead, right now the border states have to spend billions housing and feeding illegal aliens. It's time for the northern states cheering the illegal aliens to pay their fair share and accept a few hundred thousand themselves. Would certainly take a lot of pressure off the border states.

CNN is realizing that this is a MAJOR issue for New York and D.C residents, so they try and convince Texans that they are being scammed. If it was good for NY and D.C, CNN wouldn't say much at all. I think Texans are probably a little sharper than CNN gives them credit for.

First, as I understand it money has been raised in Texas to cover some costs.

Second, $12M is a HELL of bargain for taxpayers to move, say approx 10,000 illegal citizens thus far. How much would it cost taxpayers to house, feed and assist so many people on a monthly basis? How many under the table jobs taken which hurt citizens and politicians?

This is a advertisement for Abbott not negative criticism.

Texas spends more than $12 million to bus migrants to Washington, DC, and New York | CNN Politics

The state of Texas has spent more than $12 million busing migrants to Washington, DC, and New York who crossed into the state from Mexico, according to figures from the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

(CNN)The state of Texas has spent more than $12 million busing migrants to Washington, DC, and New York who crossed into the state from Mexico, according to figures from the Texas Division of Emergency Management.
A state government spreadsheet obtained by CNN through a Freedom of Information Act request shows that, as of August 9, Texas has paid $12,707,720.92 to Wynne Transportation, the charter service that is taking migrants to the two cities.

Republican Gov. Greg Abbott's office has said migrants are transported out of state only with their written permission. It is not clear what other options have been offered to the migrants.
Abbott's office did not immediately reply to a request for comment from CNN on Tuesday. In a news release Friday, Abbott's office said that "the busing mission is providing much-needed relief to our overwhelmed border communities."


It is usually the responsibility of released migrants to cover the cost of their travel throughout the US as their asylum cases are pending in court. However the state-chartered border buses have been providing free rides to the north-bound asylum-seekers for months.

Abbott is the Lindsay Graham of Governors. His best action is to use his own people and resources to seal the border, maybe lob a a few mortars on the cartel positions

Funny how the left don't even seem to understand how much money the "taxpayers" would save if we kept illegals out of the country and didn't let them in.

 

[whitehall]

12 million to charter half a dozen buses? That's pretty steep, maybe they are union drivers. It's money well spent anyway.

 

[Dragonlady]

ZERO, bitch. Nice try.

Hopefully going to 100% fossil fuels. FUCK YOU!!!

The assholes who did not protect the children have been FIRED.

We want reimbursement from FedGov for doing your fucking job. FUCK YOU!!!

Like your lord's border policy? FUCK YOU!!!

All your friends in Texas are dumb fucks and they need to GET THE FUCK OUT!!!

If anything, Abbott has done TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

And FUCK YOU!!!!

Boy, you're certainly triggered this morning. Abbott is an incompetent buffoon, with a certified criminal as his AG. It seems to be a requirement for Republican leadership. As is a stupid and gullible voter base.

 

[Thinker101]

I love how utterly ignorant you right wingers truly are. The northern cities aren't upset about the illegals being sent to the cities because they don't want them, they're upset because they don't have the infrastructure or resources to deal with all of these people. They don't have refugee intake services, or housing banks set up, and they don't have the refugee courts to deal with them either.

Trump dismantled all of the refugee services at the Southern Border and simply locked up anyone crossing the border, legally or otherwise. The reason Biden hasn't reopened the border is because he has few resources at the border to deal with refugees.

Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis are making up bullshit about illegals to gin up outrage among the stupid and the gullible. Your food prices are going up because you have no one to plant or harvest. YOU NEED IMMIGRANTS.

So "sanctuary cities" like NY don't have the infrastructure or resources to deal with a few 1,000 illegals, but Texas has the resources to deal with a few hundred thousand? How fricken stupid can you get?

 

[Dragonlady]

Funny how the left don't even seem to understand how much money the "taxpayers" would save if we kept illegals out of the country and didn't let them in.

You really have drunk the Republican Kool-Aid here. Republicans are the party who refuse to change immigration law to create a system that actually works for your country. Why do you think that might be???? Won't won't the Republican Party even CONSIDER immigration reform?

Have you ever considered that they won't change the system, which they set up when Reagan was in office, because it WORKS for REPUBLICANS????? Why does illegal immigration go UP every time there's a Republican in the White House, and down when there's a Democrat in the White House?????

The economy gets the labour of 11 million people added to GDP. The Federal treasury gets 15% withholding on all of their wages, without having to pay out SS or Medicare when they retire. Food Inc. get cheap labour from the fields to the restaurants forcing Americans to accept lower wages, and last but not least, Republicans blame it all on Democrats.

Republicans have been flogging illegal immigration - a problem THEY are creating, as the Democrats fault, because Democrats want to stop the exploitation and abuse of immigrants and refugees by Republicans, and you believe Republican lies.

It's a win/win issue for Republicans all the way around.

INFRASTUCTURE. REGIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE. Government intake offices. Refugee Services offices. Courts - all closed and dismantled by Trump, just like the pandemic response office was dismantled by Trump, leading to the covid disaster.

When the border was closed, the infrastructure to process refugees disappeared, as did the resources they used in their work, extending Trump's National Emergency.

Lol excuse me? There is not a single person talking about this in the D.C. area.

 

[shockedcanadian]

How many elderly people have died in Texas due to the heat, this year???? What is Abbott doing about the electrical grid in Texas?

I see the Uvalde Families demonstrating outside Abbott's house because he's done NOTHING about mass shootings in Texas.

How much money did he spend sending the Texas National Guard to the border? Another expensive boondoggle that cost the taxpayers millions.

Abbott seems to spend a lot of time and Texans' money on "performative politics" and precious little on making life in Texas better. My American friends in Texas say its a real hell-hole.

For once you are making slight sense. The only problem is "what reforms will prevent people from walking over the border"?

Trump made a great deal with Mexico to keep them there while their asylum application was processed, somehow, unbelievably Biden cancelled this deal that was saving the U.S billions.

If I am Abbott I send as many as possible so that his state no longer has to carry the vast majority of the burden for bad policy that is harming Americas sovereignty.

Money that could have been spent preparing for secession. Sad.

 

[Dragonlady]

And here I thought we'd been told that illegal immigrants were needed. Didn't you just say that? Now you're saying we can't handle so many of them. Heck, time for the northern states to pay their fair share and take these illegal immigrants in.

Not what I said at all. Your reading comprehension really needs work. I said that the current system exists because it works for the Republican Party. They don't want it changed.

You have over 11 million job openings, far exceeding the number of people who are unemployed. Who's going to fill those jobs? The US Chamber of Commerce is BEGGING for immigrants to fill these job openings.

Democrats refuse to close the border. You guys swindled Reagan, making a deal on immigration and then leaving the borders open afterward. It might be possible to make a deal on immigration but it would have to include keeping illegal immigration as close to zero as possible. And the agreement would have to be something Democrats couldn't cheat on after the fact as they did with Reagan. I don't know how to accomplish this. Any ideas, or are you just like all democrats in claiming they aren't for open borders while hanging out the welcome sign with all kinds of freebies lined up at the table across the border?

If I am Abbott I send as many as possible so that his state no longer has to carry the vast majority of the burden for bad policy that is harming Americas sovereignty.

For starters, you can provide assistance to help their home countries deal with the issues driving this immigration: gang violence at home, and a long term drought brought on by climate change.

Trump cut off all funds to fight the gangs in their home countries to punish these nations for not keeping people at home. The result just increased the numbers of people fleeing. He also did nothing to help with the drought conditions brought on by climate change.

Having them wait in Mexico and "metering" their arrival is not a solution. It's making things worse because there is no infrastructure or services in the camps either, which are both dirty and dangerous. Unfortunately, the immigration infrastructure which existed prior to Trump's election is gone and the workers disbursed.

As with restoring all businesses and services, the people have had to move on to other jobs etc. Just like everyone else, get these offices up and running again is hampered by a shortage of workers and resources to make it happen.

IT WAS REAGAN'S IDEA!!!! DEMOCRATS OPPOSED THE WHOLE THING.

Reagan's idea was to give "amnesty" to illegals. Democrats opposed it saying it would give them incentive to come in illegally.

Reagan said that NAFTA would create jobs in Mexico and people wouldn't have to sneak across the border to find work. What Reagan failed to tell Americans that the jobs being created in Mexico used to be YOUR manufacturing jobs.

Democrats refused to pass NAFTA in the House after Clinton was elected, until protections for American workers were improved.
