If that were true then why aren't they being brought in legally? We don't need to sustain our population growth anyway. A smaller population to fit a smaller economy is healthier or everyone in so many ways.

Wonder where they are all at.

Haven't see any reports of surge in South Carolina?
Same here. I suspect the Catholic church has been helping out more Afghan refugees than illegal immigrants from Mexico.

It's your local pool maintenance, lawn maintenance, painting, construction businesses that are hiring illegals.
A wad of cash and swing by HD to pick up day workers.
They'll move their gated communities further from the riff-raff and hire more armed security as they vote in the policies that foolishly turns the countryside around them into a crime ridden cesspool further burdening the already massive welfare system.

Jurisdictions matter. Most look like they have to report later to ICE, after been processed and released, but now, good luck catching them. Might even be construed as kidnapping -transporting across state lines, but most agreed to go. He better be careful, one didn’t understand or a minor could legally come after Texas.
unless something has changed, this isn't where CBP is overwhelmed and Texas cops are picking them up when they cross the border, loading them onto buses immediately and trekking to DC.

Texas is going to the communities where they are dropped off AFTER they've been processed by CBP/ICE, and THEN bussing them to DC. They (illegals) actually still have to report to court back in Texas (or wherever assigned).

perhaps you can provide some link for your word on the street. I could find this:

https://patch.com/virginia/arlington...d-texas-border

"The migrants had been previously processed and released by federal border officials to continue their asylum cases in the U.S.

Their arrival in D.C., after a long bus ride paid for by Texas, was a layover in their journey to other places across the U.S. where they have family members or friends...

Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington is providing migrants food and a change of clothing and purchasing bus tickets to their next destinations. Many cannot board trains or airplanes because they lack valid documents."

by the way - don't forget that Biden has been using planes to ship them throughout the country ... even without that pesky ID.

Texas unemployment is 4.4%. DC is 6% (which is dead last, FWIW).
