Remain in Texas, the solution to the border crisis

This has got to be either a joke, or a slap in the face. First of all, its sanctuary cities such as New York City and states such as CA that are the magnets for the migrants. Were these not advertised all over the 3rd world as 'sanctuary' for any illegal entrant that can get there? Does this create the very problem that they are now complaining about?

The answer to their complaints, now their virtue signalling has bit them in their backsides, is to make Texas keep them. Say what???

that's the thing with virtue signalers. their all for something until it's gets real for them. then it should be someone else's problem or stopped all together. it all fine when they don't have to deal with it.

There appears to be a better option: hire more case workers to move the process of sponsorship along faster...

In just a few months, the U.S. received more than 1.5 million requests from individuals hoping to sponsor the entry of migrants from four countries, an extraordinary number that could jeopardize the Biden administration's objective of reducing border crossings, internal documents obtained by CBS News show.

The flurry of hundreds of thousands of sponsorship applications on behalf of would-be migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela has overwhelmed caseworkers at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), which can approve no more than 30,000 arrivals under the program each month.

American citizens, residents and others in the U.S. with a legal immigration status are eligible to sponsor migrants from these four countries, as long as they agree to financially support them. Migrants who arrive under the program are granted two-year work permits under the humanitarian parole authority.

There appears to be many generous and kind hearted people willing to help.

It brings to mind the Martha's Vineyard incident.
"We love immigrants!"
"We stand with immigrants!"

"But they can't stay here. Send them somewhere else."

What exactly is the fear of immigrants based on?

How does a person/people arriving in this country, PERSONALLY affect you? On a day-to-day basis?

Given 2 people that arrive here, one legally and one illegally, what is it specifically that changes something in your daily life?

I'm not supporting anything, just looking for answers to some very simple questions.

The better option would be to close the border completely then deport all the criminals trying to freeload off of American taxpayers.

a reply to: TXRabbit

Well, they're getting $2,200 per month from the federal government, which is more than social security pays to people who paid taxes into it their entire lives.

They overwhelm medical services and schools in the communities they enter.

They are trafficking children into the country. The federal government has no idea where 80,000 children have gone over the last year or so.

Hundreds of known terrorists have been encountered at the border, how many were not found?

They drive down wages for already low income families, mostly black and hispanic Americans.

Not to mention all the gangs, drugs, rape and other crime that would have not occurred here if they weren't allowed to enter.

I GOTTA WONDER

is the non-constitution Federal/Weaponized Government allowing more Human Shields into the USA just for the cover they bring ?

or to perpetuate the global acceptance of the Dollar

Well if they have to remain in Texas then Gov. Abbot can declare a Article 1 sec. 10 invasion emergency and all the immigrants can be deported back to Mexico then.

You're court date is in 2027? We'll see you then says the Texas immigration police. Till then remain in Mexico.

Buuttt...If you get on this Greyhound it's going to NYC/Chicago/LA. They certainly wouldn't deport you back to Texas and then Mexico would they?

If one were to read the fine print in your source, one will find that the sponsors are what is otherwise known as chain migration. These aren't generous libs wanting to help, like the spin implies. Utter nonsense, but other virtue-signalers lap it up like mothers milk.

"American citizens, residents and others in the U.S. with a legal immigration status are eligible to sponsor migrants from these four countries, as long as they agree to financially support them. "

So they're getting money that you're not? If they weren't coming here you still wouldn't be getting that, right?

Nothing you mentioned answers the question. How does this affect your daily life?

And I don't buy the "low wage" line. If anything, it keeps the costs of goods down in some aspects.

Gangs, drugs, rape and crime have existed before border-crossings were a thing, right?

I dont get the 'human shield' concept. Is there are military threat from Mexico and or Latin America?

These folks most likely are sending American dollars home, whereever that may be. Mexico actually depends on it.

People make fun of Trump saying Mexico would pay for the wall. Well, all we have to do is tax remittances to Mexico with a special wall tax. So much could be done, but wont until democraps are out of power.

Did you get the most important part of that? "...they are willing to support them." Problem solved for taxpayers.

What entitles them to my tax money? What benefit do they bring to me as an American citizen?

a reply to: TXRabbit

I've never really been a proponent for the new deal but, the concept is that this money is there when the people who put into need it. What have these immigrants done to deserve those funds, and why should the people who actually pay into the system receive less and/or suffer when funds are not available.
This effects the lives everyone who pays into the system. Go check your last pay stub for SS tax payments.

Some NYC schools forced to turn away kids on first day of school as influx of migrants joins classrooms


Seems like a real problem to me and not some figment of the imagination.

Our homeless crisis is mostly attributable to immigration. All those people demand housing, which increases housing prices, which means many Americans can no longer afford it and become homeless.

You'll notice almost no recent immigrants are among our large homeless population, despite not being able to speak the language. That's because they are being subsidized.

it's all good. Sure most small girls are raped on the way, but they need to toughen up a bit anyhow. I like your attitude. Folks are too damn soft these days. If you want to come here, crawl through the constentina wire, scale the wall, accept the rapes, and man the # up. Damn it's good to see such a stance here. KUDOS to you sir!

If you aren't the kind of guy who hits it off with the ladies, you might want to go down to the border and change your vocation. Might get "lucky" a bit more often.
