44. The bussing is not the problem.

Inhumane treatment is a problem. The volume of people at the southern border is staggering. There is absolutely no way border towns can provide any sort of humane living conditions once people are approved to stay, pending their court dates.

Moving people around the country ... voluntarily ... is a good thing for immigrants and for the US. We need a better system for doing so. Currently we are allowing Abbott to just dump people out on the street. Like trash. That is appalling.
