Ahhh yes, the borders are so open you have to hide in a truck and sneak across. It's like when I go to Target during regular business hours but enter via way of airduct on the roof and mission impossible my way down into the Home Furnishing section

Why are these cunts incapable of understanding what an open border is? Do you have to risk your life and die to sneak over an open border? No.

The governors of Arizona and Texas have been use state government funds to bus illegal immigrants from their states to Washington DC.

Muriel Bowser called the arrival of some 4,800 migrants from the southern border a "humanitarian crisis" that had brought her city to a "tipping point".

The bus trips were organized in Texas and Arizona in protest against the Biden administration's border policies.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott - among the most vocal critics of President Joe Biden's border policy - began offering state-funded bus rides to migrants released from federal custody in his state in April.

Arizona Governor Doug Ducey followed suit a month later, saying the voluntary bus rides were necessary because of "little action or assistance from the federal government".

Both Republican officials had lobbied unsuccessfully for the Biden administration to keep in place a Trump-era policy that allowed border patrol to expel almost all undocumented migrants seeking asylum.

Texas and Arizona have meanwhile dispatched more than 150 buses filled with migrants to DC's Union Station, which is at the doorstep of the US Capitol.

Texas' bussing programme - which the White House has slammed as a "publicity stunt" - has cost taxpayers in the state more than $1,400 per rider, an investigation by the Dallas-based KXAS TV station found.

Why not just say "Roughly 7million" instead of making readers do the math. Nitpicking but seeing the number $1400 doesn't shock someone as much as reading "Totaling $6,700,000 already" or some shit

Perhaps because it makes the point that the Texas government is effectively giving illegal immigrants more than a thousand dollars.

They contribute more back to the economy than that. So that works.

Would DeSantis flying the group of Venezuelan immigrants from Texas to Martha's Vineyard be considered state sponsored human trafficking?

I say state sponsored since Florida taxpayers foot the bill for the flight and he's willing to spend $12 million to continue to fly them out of Texas to any Democratic stronghold. And bussing/flying out of Florida would be one thing, but the flight origin was from Texas for this particular instance.

DoD to deploy 1500 troops to the Mexican border to assist border patrol because of covid rules expiring May 11th. Under Title 42, the US was able to expell migrants using the pandemic as the reasoning. Crossings are expected to exceed 10k a day.

It be illegal for them to engage in civilian law enforcement. So their capabilities are limited to surveillance, monitoring, etc.

Gotta admit he sounded pretty good despite having Trump's cock all the way down his throat.

Wait, who are we kidding. Trump's cock won't reach down the back of anyone's throat.
