Fixing the migrant bussing problem?

51. Rant on.

You might feel differently about the situation if your state had to foot the bill for those migrants.

You might also feel differently if it was your property being trespassed upon or your property was destroyed or stolen. Imagine walking outside to go to work and discover that your vehicle was stolen?

You might also feel differently if you are driving and suddenly get passed by a van of migrants with the police chasing them and you are run off the road by the carelessness of the migrants and the people that transport them to their destination.

I wonder how you would feel if you saw an 18-wheeler stop and 50--60 migrants unloaded in your neighborhood?

All of those situations have happened in South Texas in this decade.

So yeah, screw Texas just because we aren't a blue state--it's because of the suggestion like yours that Texas has remained a red state for the past thirty years and it will make it harder for us to become blue in the future because a lot of Texans subscribe to foolish Us (Texas) vs. Them (everyone else) mentality.

The last time that I checked Texas is still part of the United States which means that our problems are your problems too. Since you believe that this should remain a Texas problem, then perhaps you don't want any gas, oil or agricultural products from Texas either? Perhaps Texas should tell all of the snow birds that visit in the winter in their RVs to stay away if people outside Texas are going to subscribe to the Us vs. Them mentality too? After all, we might need all of that space so we can find somewhere for the migrants to stay.


Texas can't change its geographical position and nobody has suggested a viable solution to the immigrant crisis. While I don't agree with the governor about busing the migrants out of Texas, it is past time for a solution to be found and for the rest of the country to step up to the plate to find a solution or bear their fair share to provide for the immigrants if there are no changes to immigration policy.
