Fixing the migrant bussing problem?

[pinkstarburst]

53. Here are the numbers

In 2022, 2 million migrants illegally crossed the southern border.

1.2 million crossed through Texas.
249K crossed through California

That's a pretty big disparity. California is having to deal with migrants crossing its borders, sure. But Texas is having to deal with FIVE TIMES the number.

And no, it's not fair to say, those 1.2 million people show up every year in your state because you happen to border Mexico, so it's your job as governor to deal with it. Immigration is a national issue. Biden should be either 1) securing the border to slow or manage the number of people coming across or 2) providing the busses to transport people out of Texas immediately when they cross the border and distributing them to all 50 states. Your argument that they should go to a close-by state... why? So New York or Massachusetts doesn't have to deal with the problem? All 50 states should have to receive migrants on a weekly basis if our values say that we support allowing them in.

So if democrats and this administration do not like the methods for the bussing or the organization of it (I as a taxpayer am personally frustrated that my Texan tax dollars have to be used to do this when FEDERAL money should be used to pay for this), then they take over the task for Abbott and organize better bussing themselves. Start sending migrants to every state in the lower 48 and coordinate with those governors to let them know the busses are coming.

Biden won't do this. It would be a PR nightmare if he were responsible for the busses. He would lose votes from independents and moderates who are steamed when migrants begin showing up in their neighborhoods just like democrats in blue cities are steamed about it now. It's NIMBYism, plain and simple. Which is why Biden is perfectly happy to let Abbott take the fall for this one. But as a democrat, I can't entirely fault Abbott on this one. I detest Abbott and all the goons in the Texas government, but in this, they are not entirely wrong. Everyone has abandoned Texas and left us to deal with the mess at the southern border for decades. Abbott making the problem visible and moving these people along to other places so they are not all in Texas is a good thing.
