2. As we saw when DeSantis sent migrants to Martha's Vineyard, they have no idea what they're signing

Texass voted for this POS again. My thoughts is arrest the bus drivers, who drove the buses. Then start working your way up the chain.

9. And what is their excuse for not coordinating with organizations that will help once they get there

I really don’t blame these people for wanting to get out of Texas, But I doubt very seriously that they knew what they were signing or that they knew they would be left on the street with no coats no heat

And I agree, they should have been set up with rescue organizations designed to help them before anything else was done.

As do voters who support using desperate families in a political stunt, not caring if they freeze.
