More humane than my idea of using a trebuchet...

...but not as enjoyable.

This will get interesting...

Governor Abbott Takes Aggressive Action To Secure The Border As President Biden Ends Title 42 Expulsions

Because DHS has no plan for addressing the anticipated surge of illegal immigrants when Title 42 expulsions end, and because DHS is expected to release large groups of migrants into Texas communities, Governor Abbott has directed TDEM to charter buses and flights to transport migrants who have been processed and released from federal custody to Washington, D.C. ...

Probably cheaper than a wall.

 

[toddnjoyce]

Or feed and house them for 3 days.
About the same cost. But then they're not on TXs dime.

They had to’ve been caught and released once for hot wheels to catch, relocate, and release ‘em again. Kind of a conservationist’s wet dream since poaching is outlawed and the public is more scared of the game warden than the varmint.

I’d rather those funds be spent shutting down the charitable org’s that’re aiding and abetting millions of criminals annually. We’ve got a whole chapter in the penal code on complicity.

Just as cheap to send a message as it is to send them back where they came from, a dozen times before.
It's still taxpayer's money. I'd just as soon the idiots on the Potomac got a good look at it.

“Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd said the state will have over 900 buses for this operation.”

Cute. Guess if your gonna send 900 busses 1700+ miles each way and foot the bill for it, then picking the time when we have the highest gas prices in decades is the time to do it.

Way to be a good steward of our dollars there hot wheels.

Gas could be $10 a gallon and shipping illegals out using cars that get single digit mileage would still be cheaper in the long run.

It’s not like those retards on the Pennsylvania Ave are going to do anything but keep licking windows while staring out at the new visitors to the asylum. I’m tired of the political one upsmanship that isn’t; it doesn’t help anybody and reminds me .gov doesn’t see itself as being a steward of our tax dollars.

I wasn’t joking when I said I’d rather see all the charities that shepherd illegal aliens into the fabric of America be shutdown for aiding and abetting criminal activity; that’d be a much better use of our dollars.

Alternatively, let the Texas National Guard execute a modern day version of Pershing’s punitive expeditions and let’s just clear our way to resetting the border 50NM south of the Rio.

Cheaper than paying for their housing, food and care here in Texas, my friend.

I was skeptical. Yet I did see this in a Townhall article that claims the buses are already being dispatched:

"Christensen explained to the outlet that most Texas communities that have raised concerns over the influx of illegal immigrants being relocated to their communities claim the federal government has halted efforts to drop migrants off in their towns since Abbott announced his plans to send the migrants to D.C."

Fox reporting the same.

I heard any illegals sent to DC will have to volunteer to go.

I would like to see a cost benefit analysis of shipping them out vs housing and feeding and crime impact of allowing them to stay in Texas...my guess is that the fuel cost is chump change compared to years worth of EBT, medical, housing etc.

SNAP/EBT and most welfare programs have never been authorized for illegal aliens and only very few non-citizens. As for legal immigrants, as a class they use welfare benefits at a lower rate than citizens

Is there fraud in that system? Sure, most of which is enabled by the various charitable orgs.

Fact Sheet: Immigrants and Public Benefits

Are undocumented immigrants eligible for federal public benefit programs? Generally no. Undocumented immigrants, including DACA holders, are ineligible to receive most federal public benefits, including means-tested benefits such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, sometimes...

And some of the govt agencies also help with the fraud.

hope the gov goes thru with sending illegals to the capitol, they could stay with senators and congress in there dc apt.
They won't be there on the weekends so the roomies can get settled in.

 

[Grumps21]

There’s already a thread on this topic. I’m thinking it would be best for all to be on the existing thread so that we don’t get into dueling threads. Keep all the opinions in one place versus jumping back & forth between the two. Just my $.02
