Back in April, Texas's Republican governor, Greg Abbott, pledged to bus migrants who had entered Texas illegally to Washington, D.C. on a voluntary basis.
It was laughed at in the press and among Democrats as a "publicity stunt" at the time. But the governor was dead serious, and kept that promise. Leadership is contagious, and Abbott was soon joined by Arizona's Gov. Douglas Ducey.
For months, the states of Texas and Arizona have been sending charter buses of illegal border crossers being let in by Joe Biden's open borders policy to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, near the Capitol building and now to New York City, led by Mayor Eric Adams,

Send a few busloads to Napa Valley, Martha's Vineyard, the Hamptons and Delaware. Let the 'undocumented' migrants that are just trying for a better life for their families, feel the love of blue state citizens. A few bus loads to Bill Gates beautiful Washington State wouldn't hurt, either. I haven't heard how many 'migrants' are being housed and fed by those woke, caring, rich Hollywood folks that keep lecturing us on how we should be more tolerant. Have any of them opened their gates?

NIMBY!
Have to love the hypocritical responses from the left. They want illegal immigration. Just not in their own backyards.

Abbott, don't forget to send some busloads of illegals to the front gate at Nanie's house in SF. I'm sure she won't mind.

Send them more of Joe’s illegals. DC and NYC deserve the best. Love those stuck up slobs.

Bowser can solve her "problem" by chartering a Red Line Metro train to Takoma Park. This is more political theatre serving the needs of both sides. All-hat TX Gov. Abbott gets campaign video of the libs whining and asserts "victory", although the hordes don't stop jumping the Texas border, and his busing costs twice what first-class air does. Bowser and Adams get their airtime portrayed as humanitarians concerned about the heartless dumping of these vulnerable humans in their cities without proper "preparation" and "resources" to receive them. Maryland, Northern Virginia, and NYC all need the cheap labor. The crime is a collateral "benefit".

I would chip in to send a couple of planeloads of illegals to a little town in Hawaii called Waimanalo. Since the illegal Kenyan POTUS started this immigration madness, it's only fitting that he enjoy the benefits of it as well,

#5, Governor Abbott is the candidate who must defeat Beavis O'Dork.
This is beginning to get some attention and people are seeing what the Vegetable's lawlessness means to THEM. time for the libs to see first hand how this affects the border states, and they are being sent to "sanctuary" places who if true to their word, SHOULD welcome them there.
Not in MY back yard has a new meaning, although the REAL solution is to follow the law already on the books which the Vegetable REFUSES to do-- this is what the 25th amendment and dereliction of duty to the Presidential Oath is all about.
People don't seem to give a crap until THEY have to face it in their own 'backyard' affecting THEIR lives

Abbott needs to stop fooling around and put in three buses a day, seven days a week on this as a standard route.
Let them enjoy the benefits of their damned evil policies.

"Any real estate property is primarily defined by its geographic borders.
This principle must also apply to a country."
On an individual level, this applies to house guests. As I discovered, if you let a house guest stay with you long enough (and that can be a pretty short time period), the "guest" can claim they are a resident of your property and you have to go through a formal eviction process to get them out of your house.
As so many people have discovered, informally allowing your adult children to stay with you or letting the good-natured neighborhood old coot live in your garage apartment can morph into a legal right to stay there. There's been enough news articles about this sort of thing.
If you have someone asking temporary shelter from you, get it in WRITING, stressing that the shelter is temporary, setting a definite end date and any restrictions you may want - in other words, a rental agreement, and make them SIGN it. You may find your adult children gets all huffy and stamp their little feet, but stick to it. You may find they can have alternate plans, after all.
So who owns the land?
Whoever can defend the land, depending on the land's size, from eviction notices (my second bedroom) to outright war (Ukraine).
If you can defend it, it's yours; if you can't, it isn't.

I suspect the cost of busing those groups up north is still less than the cost of taking care of them in Texas would be, the benefits that must be extended and for an indefinite time.

In artillery, you fire a few ranging shots to get your targeting correct, and then you "Fire for effect!" by just pouring it on, once you know that you are hitting effectively. Abbott now knows that the buses are being effective....
Time to 'fire for effect', three or more bus loads a day, every day.

I'm happy that they did this but am NOT happy with how freaking long it took!!! They should have stopped the first bus from unloading anywhere , in any state in the country.

Whatever it takes to divert the flow away from Texas of folks who put poopy toilet paper in the trash can instead of the toilet, drive in the rain with their flashers on, and lead caravans of slow-moving "In Tow" junk cars down I-10.

Here we have a couple of liberal Democrat Sanctuary City Mayors complaining about border State Republican Governors bussing a couple of hundred illegal aliens (so-called migrants) from the border area into their cities after those illegal aliens were allowed into the USA and were released into the country on their own recognizance, supposedly to await an immigration court hearing sometime years in the future. Beyond those hundreds of illegal aliens being bussed in, you don’t hear those liberal Democrat Mayors say a word about the whereabouts of the over two million illegal aliens released by Biden and his crew into the USA, a lot of who are also sojourning indefinitely in their and other so-called sanctuary cities all over the interior of the USA.
Those liberal Democrat Mayors don’t want those illegal aliens to disappear out of their Sanctuary Cities, but are looking for Biden and his crew to send them billions of dollars in federal money supposedly to assist them in providing public welfare benefits and services to illegal aliens who are sojourning in their Sanctuary Cities. After those billions of federal dollars arrive, what percentage of that money will be skimmed off through public corruption is anyone’s guess!

This is kind of like Cloward-Piven applied to leftoids. These places want to be "sanctuary cities", then simply give them every opportunity to do so. . . and to endure the consequences.

Texas has millions more of illegals. We need to begin flights into NY, DC, and Delaware.

Send them to brandon's mansion in Delaware. Tell them they're there at Joe's invitation.
