I think the issue is republican leaders intentionally causing harm to migrant children for their own joy and political gain. They moved them to areas like new york with the goal of overburdening and breaking the system.
It's be the equivalent of me buying 100,000 AR-15 and air dropping them onto a bus full of children; have a republican say wow these guns are a problem and respond, "oh so noooooow guns are a problem CHECKMATE"
Regardless, decades of actively fucking the people, land, and economies of south American countries have indeed caused a humanitarian crisis leading to migrants fleeing for safety and hope. Neither party seems to have much interest in proactively sorting it out. Reap what you sow.
Funny how this implies immigrant children are actually better off In conservative states.
So it's fine when it's a small border town, it's not fine when it's NYC, because we bussed them to NYC, to a place with more resources?
And accepting migrants isn't a long term solution, it's not a solution at all. What we need to do is fix their countries, and having their best flee isn't helping their countries at all.
Randomly relocating migrants to other cities with zero communication or planning with pure intention of causing harm to the migrants as well as the people of the arrival city for political gain is indeed a bad thing to do. I must remind people that cruelty and harm is the point of Republican policies. There was no thought that New York has resources so clearly this is a good choice of the health of either the city or the migrant to send buses there; else it would be planned and communicated ahead of time.
Let's use Texas for example. There are big cities in Texas if you weren't aware: Dallas, Houston, Austin - odd that there was no thought of sending migrants to those cities with all their city resources. There are also large other cities between Texas and New York: Oklahoma City, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Charleston, Pittsburgh, etc - it's almost like right wing propoganda incessantly targets New York as a city of Democrats and we must punish them. Cruelty is the point. There is no functional purpose of sending migrants to New York other than cruelty and chaos for political gain.
Well yeah, its the only way to make illegal immigration an issue to the democrats.
And its only cruel to the dnc.
If you love next to an airport, expect noise. If you live next to a border, expect immigrants. It's the idiots in a small town complaining about their choices that are causing this. If they don't like it, move and then the people who want to be there live there
Are those small border towns housing migrants in emergency shelters and enrolling the kids in school?
Schools, yes. Shelters, many don't have the resources.
they would if y'all would stop killing your own State's kids and guarding bathroom doors for a minute.
What we need to do is stop interfering in their home counties and stop destabilizing them.
