So can we expect more migrants being dropped off at hotels? (live in, safe)

Illegals are good for the economy! Asylum jefe, asylum!

This isn't about me. Facts: shipping migrants around to other states with zero coordination, meaning they get dumped off at their destination and have to fend for themselves, is not solving the problem. It's a political stunt, plain & simple.

Just curious--are you Native American? Because if you are not--well I guess someone made you fortunate to be born here.

Exactly. White settlers took over America forcibly via genocide, but their descendants seem to conveniently forget about that legacy.

But amigo, you keep referring to those illegals as immigrants and keep babbling on and on about how they’re good for the economy - if that is the case why are they costing us billions of dollars? The numbers are out there for everyone to see amigo, can’t dismiss them as rwnj talking points!

3 billion for what. Let them be homeless. Then maybe they'll leave

In today's Globe.

"DeSantis had wagered that making the migrant crisis real, instead of theoretical, would unleash a spasm of NIMBYism among the island’s pampered progressives. But it was precisely because the migrants who had been flown there under false pretenses were real human beings, and not props, that the Vineyard’s year-rounders rushed in to help."

Amigo, that’s a lot of letters and spaces but what about that $3 billion being spent on illegals that according to you and all sorts of leftie-commissioned “studies” are good for the economy? You know, 3 billion as in three with nine zeros after it?

They are not good for the economy.

This is one of the worst pro-immigration arguments. It’s a tired form of the idea that you can determine right from wrong by who’s ancestors had the hardest time. That may work in some progressive spaces, but you aren’t going to convince anyone who doesn’t already buy into that mentality of anything.

Perhaps for you the only conclusion to your argument would be “I guess my ancestors did some bad stuff, so I can’t really object to what people do know”. For many, though, the lesson would be “the people who were here were welcoming of newcomers and paid for it by being systematically conquered and disposed”. And the conclusion would be to limit or completely restrict immigration to avoid the same fate.

In my mind a MUCH better argument would be along the lines of “the 19th century English inhabitants (begrudgingly) accepted non-English immigrants, many of whom were absolutely destitute, and that looks like it turned out OK. Many of the things said about the Irish are the same things being said now about “the illegals” (where that seems to be a catch-all term for undesired immigrants independent of their actual legal status).
