Wait til there’s 100 buses full
You and I finally agree on something. And yes, I think that it's childish, but it worked. It is getting a lot of attention on the southern border and the immigration crisis. The Biden administration would rather lie through Karine Jeane-Pierre everyday (as if we're all fukking stupid), blame Trump, bury their heads in the sand and say that the border is "secure", when in reality, it's a complete and utter catastrophe that should not be ignored.
This is a scumbag move by the governors, but they are politicians and it was effective in shining a bright light on the issue. Maybe the Biden admin will actually address it and attempt to fix this mess now that it's in the spotlight. If they actually made some improvement, I'd give them nothing but kudos and credit.
The solution is to end the current "Catch and Release" policies that they've implemented, send these people back if they enter illegally, and stop rewarding them for crossing the border illegally. They'd stop coming then.

its not about shining a light on illegal immigration, its about shifting their small brain supporters after they stripped women of rights around the country.
also "sending them back" is a band aid on cancer. central and south america is POOR and they will never stop coming here. i dont know the solution but clearly nothing is working. those countries need to fix and raise their standard of living. its a big problem.
And that’s playing right into Republican hands and as good as they want to hear it.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A 3-year-old child riding one of Texas’ migrant buses died while on the way to Chicago, officials said Friday, the first time the state has announced a death since it began shuttling thousands of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border last year.
Texas authorities confirmed a child’s death in a statement Friday but did not say where the child was from or why they became ill. The Illinois Department of Public Health said the child was 3 years old and died Thursday in Marion County, in the southern part of that state.
“Every loss of life is a tragedy,” the Texas Division of Emergency Management said in a statement. “Once the child presented with health concerns, the bus pulled over and security personnel on board called 9-1-1 for emergency attention.”
Texas has bused more than 30,000 migrants to Democratic-controlled cities across the U.S. since last year as part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s sprawling mission on the border, called Operation Lone Star. The operation has come under a burst of new scrutiny in recent months over additional hard-line measures the governor has authorized in the name of deterring migrants from crossing from Mexico.
The Biden administration is suing Texas over wrecking ball-sized buoys placed on the Rio Grande this summer, saying the water barrier poses environmental and humanitarian concerns. Texas has also begun separating some migrant families on the border in what marks a shift by state police, who have previously said that families should stay together.
Abbott spokesperson Renae Eze referred questions Friday night about the child’s death to the state’s emergency management agency, which has operated the bus program since it launched in 2022.
The child received treatment from paramedics and later died at a hospital, according to the agency. The bus departed from the Texas border city of Brownsville. All passengers had their temperature taken and were asked if they had any medical conditions, according to Texas’ emergency management agency, which did not immediately respond to requests for more details Friday night.
Illinois officials said in a statement they were working with health officials, state police and federal authorities “to the fullest extent possible to get answers in this tragic situation.”
U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat whose district includes the Texas border, said Friday night that he had not been briefed on details of the child’s death. Still, he criticized Abbott, saying the governor should be working more with the federal government on border security.
“You can’t use the migrants as political pawns. You still got to be accountable to taking care of them, especially if you’re transporting kids,” Cullear said.
Besides Chicago, Texas has also sent buses to Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles. On Thursday, Abbott freshly touted the bus program on Twitter, posting, “We will continue busing migrants to sanctuary cities until Biden does his job & secures the border.”
Under Texas’ bus program, the state says migrants sign consent waivers and agree on the destinations where they’re headed. Texas officials say the buses are stocked with food and water and that migrants are allowed to get off early at stops before the destination city.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass called the buses a “despicable stunt” by Abbott after 42 people, including some children, were dropped off in the city in June.
At least four migrant children have died this year in federal custody. That includes an 8-year-old girl from Panama who died in May and had arrived with a heart condition and sickle cell anemia. Last month, an independent report found that Border Patrol does not have protocols for assessing medical needs of children with preexisting conditions.
