Fixing the migrant bussing problem?

17. Again, immigration is a national issue

Then stick Texas with the bill and the problem and the political unrest.

You do realize that this is what most of the country has been content to do for decades, right? That's why Abbott began bussing migrants out of Texas. Texas has been dealing with the headaches of having 1.2 million migrants per year cross into Texas and being dumped in small border communities by border patrol and left there. Abbott decided it was time for the rest of the country to see how it felt to deal with that for a while.

And sure enough, we're hearing a lot of NIMBYism from blue state mayors. Some democrats, it seems, are very pro-immigration, as long as they never have to see a migrant, or have one in their kid's school, or in their community.

I am no Abbott fan, but in this, he is not wrong. Immigration is a national issue. It is not up to Texas to be "stuck with the bill and the problem and the political unrest" as you put it. If our values say that we let these people in, then every state and community must be willing to receive migrants. 2 million last year. 2 million this year. And 2 million every year after that unless something changes. NIMBYism isn't going to work.
