Will this behavior make a difference politically? It seems mainly performed for the schadenfreude.
Anyway, more homeless. Just what we don't need right now.
Of course it's a political stunt. Abbott did it to draw attention to a severe problem going on at the border. Even though I don't like Abbott, I applaud him for this action.
These people won't become homeless. They'll be pampered and looked after.
But American homeless will continue to eat dirt, because they're not as worthy as foreign migrants.
You’re completely ignoring my one point, which I’ve stated over and over, and creating a dispute even though I’ve already said that I agree with strict enforcement of immigration laws.
Fine. Let Gov. Abbott be cruel.
His cruelty doesn’t get people deported faster.
His cruelty doesn’t do a thing to affect how Democrats operate.
It wins votes for him among core Republicans.
It alienates middle of the road voters.
So on the balance it’ll harm his electoral prospects but does nothing to solve the problem.
And on Judgment Day, those who act with cruelty towards others will get their just rewards
Seems unwise to do what Abbott did.
"Polly wanna cracker"? You had no point as the action taken wasn't cruel. What would have been cruel is allowing them to stay in Texas and the other border states that don't have the resources to care for them anymore while our own homeless citizens live on the streets. Why would middle of the road voters be more concerned about caring for these foreigners rather than their fellow citizens and we can't do both! Again, you make no sense at all! Don't pretend that you care about elections either it's these "migrants" you care about at the expense of our own citizens. I can read you like a book and so can many others in here!
I can't wait till these bogus asylum seekers and illegal alien have to face judgement day for taking from others what doesn't belong to them, violating the laws of the land and lying and cheating.
You know why Trump didn't finish the wall? It's because the democrats stonewalled (no pun intended) him every time he tried to secure funding. The democrats also refused to make E-verify the law of the land.
Your hero, Biden, then came along and stopped work on the wall. To add insult to injury, he threw the border wide open.
Sometimes it takes a "political stunt" to make the clueless woke crowd to see the magnitude of this problem.
Can't give you enough thumbs up. We are not a dictatorship. Everything has to go through congress first then the senate both of which were under Democrat control during Trump's administration. It's too bad that some people just can't figure that out yet? Until January Brandon will still have the congress and the senate. After January a senate that has no interest in stopping the flow of illegal invaders. Otherwise they along with congress would have done so. But they'd still need the president to sign it into law or have enough votes to override a presidential veto.
Doesn't matter who paid for it it was well needed and Trump managed to get half of it done. Under the Secure Fence Act of 2006, 500 miles or so of inferior fencing were built compliments of the taxpayer (where was the whining back then?) and needed to be replaced with good wall and Trump managed to get much of it done.
Trump shares no guilt with Biden or Obama over our porous border. He's the only one who tried to build good walls and implement anti-illegal policies. Why should the border states be the only ones to bear the burden of these illegals and asylum seekers? That's why they were shipped to Democrat held areas who voted for this mess.
Who is being treated indecently within our borders? Illegal aliens are law breakers just the same as our American ones and have to be held accountable for their acts. Illegals are supposed to be deported according to our laws not rewarded by allowing them to stay here and suck off the taxpayer teet.
Millions of Americans live in extremely cold states so WTH are you talking about? What makes illegal invaders so special that they shouldn't be shipped to them also when our border states have no more room for them? Even if the Feds sent them money to care for these people where is Texas supposed to put them?
You're missing the point. Kamala wants them here just as Biden and her fellow Democrats do so why not send them where they are wanted especially since Texas no longer has room for them? How is that a political stunt?
Anyone who thinks our immigration numbers shouldn't be lowered hasn't researched that facts and is only basing their opinion on emotions. How is it heartless to reduce immigration so that they don't become a burden on our society? All this compassion for foreigners but none for the rights and needs of our own citizens? Who thinks like that? We already allow in 1 million legal immigrants a year that isn't loving thy neighbor? Our compassion can only go so far and it certainly shouldn't be for illegal invaders! Are these illegals loving their neighbor by taking from us in so many ways?

No point in discussing this with you anymore!
Fine.
Since all you do is spout off things that are completely wrong (you completely misjudge me), and spout off nonsense, it’s not productive to discuss this with you either.
All you’ve done in this thread is to show that unfortunately there are heartless people in the immigration reduction movement. That’s not what the movement needs.
I'm tired of people not taking responsibility for their actions anymore.... Its like it is a totally foreign concept to not think that coming illegally to a country wont have consequences. its people like you who give lawbreakers excuses that are the problem not those of us who call them out
Cite the law! Loving one's neighbor doesn't include allowing them to invade your personal property without your permission. Are our neighbors loving us by doing that? Don't be a hypocrite! For the umpteenth time I have asked you that since Texas and the rest of the border states are full up with "migrants" now and can't house and feed anymore of them what did you expect them to do? Crickets of course...........
In the winter it is cold most everywhere in the U.S. and the Texas governor knew that Harris would not accept these people into her home but would find shelter for them. It happened in Martha's Vineyard awhile back to. Stop being a bleeding heart for lawbreakers and making them victims rather than American citizens whom are the true victims. Quoting the Bible in regards to lawbreakers is desperate and ridiculous thing to do.
Illegal immigrants chose to cross the border illegally. No one forced them to do so. Americans who break the law aren't taken care of. They're sent to prison. Texas doesn't have a moral duty to accommodate and take care of these criminals because they don't want to follow the law. The only cruel and mean-spirited thing is expecting these border towns to deal with the crime, violence, and drugs these immigrants bring. They don't have the resources to take care of them. Would you be willing for Greg Abbott to send them to your house so you can take care of them or going down to the border and taking care of them yourself? The people claiming that what Greg Abbott is doing is cruel never want to hold themselves to their own standards and take care of the illegals themselves. They always want someone else to do it. They only have a problem when the problem comes to their own front door.
That really is the bottom line and as such should suffer any consequences for their actions. The hell with them. If it were up to me once they reached the border there would be absolutely nothing here for them. No food, water, clothing, shelter and medical attention. They may as well have just arrived on the moon. We have to be as inhospitable as possible to these invaders who have given us the proverbial finger by not respecting our laws and sovereignty. This is not their country and we don't owe them a G D thing.
