    That's funny to watch their hypocrisy it's clock and carry on about barrel racist everyone else's when it comes down to it they don't want these people there either.

    They want them in your backyard because you're a lower class they're actually trying to create a caste system I applaud the Santas and Abbott for doing this they're really really exposing this hypocrisy.

    Ah yes .. the standard "handing out bottles of Evian" to the peasants. So very easy to do, when you know it's all you'll have to do.

    If nothing in America in the past few years has proven the BS of Progressives (and plenty has), this is the thing which cannot be ignored and will never be forgotten.

    While that was a difficult read, Poly .. I agree.

    It's at the very least, largely about keeping themselves separate from anything that isn't eurocentric and 'clean'. Even down to the little daily bigotries towards culture expressed so abundantly by average urban Prog. They rave about diversity, yet cannot tolerate any culture but their own. They're exructiatingly difficult to acclimatise to anything unfamiliar. I see them as a variety of ultra-conservative, for that reason.

    I don't even think it's that deep. I think it's just pure hypocrisy and virtue signaling from selfish people who refuse to admit they are selfish in order to make THEMSELVES feel better. It's classic NIMBY to the tee. "Compassion, caring, kindness, empathy, etc" are all traits we are "supposed" to have so folks run around lying to themselves and attacking everybody who doesn't support this stuff while simultaneously not actually supporting it themselves.

    They say that nobody should be homeless and/or we need more affordable housing to help people. Ok we'll build a low income government housing project in your neighborhood.
    NO!

    They say nobody is illegal, we're all humans, they support policies that allow virtually unchecked illegal immigration into the country out of "compassion". They deliberately exclude the "illegal" part when discussing immigration, they often change the terminology to something less "mean" sounding such as "undocumented" or "migrant" or "asylum seeker". Drop them off at their front door and....
    NO!

    It's just easy for folks to pretend to care about stuff that don't actually have to encounter or deal with. It's easy to support policies that don't directly effect you personally or that you don't have to "see".

    Wanna see? Go ask the first bullhorn screaming college kid fussing about homelessness in evil America how many homeless people they have invited to live in their apartment until they get back on their feet.

    I'll wait.

    Legally and constitutionally he can't because border control is a FEDERAL issue. But I read a July story that said he is trying too by taking illegals back to points of entry. He can not use resources to take them back in.

    Because these sancuary states said they welcome illegals. Texas, Florida and Arizona do not. It's really commensense to send them where they are welcome.....since these places are welcoming......

    The truth is the Biden and his cronies have intentionally flooding the country with illegal immigrants because they felt they could punish red state with this tactic. Now that it's backfiring on them they're squealing like stuck pigs. Live with what you created you vile Democrats.

    I think it's trying to bring in blue voters that's why they also oppose voter ID.

    DeSantis nails it....
    video here.

    I also was a little bit perplexed when I heard that the president is scrambling to get his cabinet together to try to address the fact that you have governors who are helping to relocate illegal aliens to sanctuary cities.

    Now, he didn’t scramble to get his cabinet together when we had millions of people illegally pouring across the southern border.

    He didn’t scramble to get this cabinet together when you had 53 migrants die in some trailer in Texas because they were neglected by the federal government.

    You didn’t see him scramble to get this cabinet together when we had Americans that were victimized by criminal aliens that he let across the border.

    You didn’t see him scramble to get this cabinet together when we hit record fentanyl deaths, which that fentanyl is coming across his open border.

    It’s only when you have fifty illegal aliens end up in a very wealthy, rich sanctuary enclave that he decides to scramble on this.

    No, I’m concerned that the locals have trouble affording to live there and how can refugees afford to live there.

    So where are we supposed to send them then? To impoverished neighborhoods where poor Americans are currently striving to survive and put even more of a burden on those communities by introducing 50 more poor people to care for?

    Those communities have enough on their plates at the moment. If we as a nation are going to continue with the policy of refugee asylum then the wealthy need to start sharing some of the workload that brings. It's completely unfair to stress overburdened impoverished American communities by placing refugees there while the wealthy live in luxurious gated communities completely isolated from having to deal with any of it.

    So?

    Where is the outrage regarding the problems they cause in the already overburdened border states dealing with the massive influx of illegal immigration?

    The bottom line is simple, illegal immigration is a problem in the United States, period. It is a problem that our government is allowing to happen by choosing to not allocate the resources necessary to quell it. We are one nation, not 50 individual little nations/states that a lot of Americans wish we were, but one nation. Illegal immigration is a problem for our country, we all need to help carry the burden that it brings. It is completely unfair to put that entire burden on a handful of border states while the other states get off with not having to allocate any resources to deal with it.

    If all 50 States are allowed a voting say so in how those 5 or so border/most likely to get illegal immigrant States deal with the collective "American" border then all 50 States get to share the burden of whatever immigration policy we vote on as a nation brings.

    Completely relevant. I'm tired of this faux outrage and virtue signaling whenever it happens to be convenient for a particular narrative.

    If one is concerned about "causing problems" then where those so called problems are caused is what is actually irrelevant. If illegal immigration causes problems then it causes problems period. Whether that be in border towns or rich neighborhoods accustomed to being isolated from the rest of us thinking they can have the luxury of advocating for policies that they personally don't have to deal with and pawn off on the plebian class.

    The outrage is that people are sending other people to states for the express purpose of causing problems, that is vastly different than people coming of their own volition and causing problems..

    I understand that the Martha’s Vineyards locals are being priced out of living there.
    Are there facilities for housing these people? Or are you suggesting that the government take over the holiday houses of the wealthy? Wouldn’t be easier to take over the houses of the wealthy in Miami or Houston?

    This is not just a Biden problem it has been a problem for many Presidents for many ideas. The first step to solving this (which I think is what you want) is to set aside the problem of who is to blame and work on the problem itself.
    It makes no sence for those who condemned the president for sending people all over the country (which was done by many presidents in the past) to begin sending people all over the country.
    It makes no sense for a govenor to import illegals from another state so he has illegals to send to a different state.

    Voters there is a simple solution here. We tell all candidate we expect them to stop crowing and to work together because this is an importat problem. Those OF BOTH PARTIES that are unwilling to do that in a non partisan way or say "my way or the highway" should be voted out, period.

    Now lets see if people really want to solve this problem

    Let's get the wall built and then we can go from there... as the wall will be tested from any angles... we can then tweak any flaws that arise from it.... it is A START from what we are seeing from this administration's failed policy.

    Migrants Decline Newsom’s Offer Of Asylum In CA Since They Just Came From A Collapsing Communist Hellhole With No Electricity.

    [​IMG]
    NO BEIN, HOMBRE!
    'While the migrants have heard the message, they have already voiced their intent to avoid California to reporters, speaking out about the harrowing circumstances they had escaped: skyrocketing inflation, a demolished economy, and obvious corruption at the highest levels of government. The migrants say that California's trash-littered sidewalks, water shortages, and electrical outages bear too much resemblance to the Venezuela they left behind for it to be a desirable destination.'

    THE SHOUTED 'JUST SAY "NO!"'

    'One of Governor Newsom's PACs, Robbing California Citizens To Fund Our Voter Base, has posted a press release condemning the migrants for the comparison. "To compare California to Venezuela is disingenuous, and these narrow-minded migrants should be ashamed. They come from a nation where business is stifled by overregulation and state interference, a one-party system has ruled for decades with a compliant state media to tout its success while cities burn, and citizens struggling to pay for gas, food, and other necessities – this is nothing like California. For this disrespect, we call for their immediate deportation to the ‘greener pastures' of Florida that they seek so much, with plans for them to be re-imported for votes during election seasons."'

    BUT, THEY OFFER TENTS ON SIDEWALKS AND NICE CONCRETE TO CRAP ON!

    'At publishing time, Newsom had reiterated his offer in a video at his $5 million home, gesturing to the plentiful electricity around him, but migrants have said that this reminds them too much of the opulence enjoyed by Chavez and then Maduro while they wreaked havoc on the nation.'

    And the reason so many people are coming here of their own volition and causing problems is directly due to the lax illegal immigration policies supported by elected officials who live far away from the areas where these problems are caused. If we as a nation allow all 50 states a say so in border policy then all 50 states need to share in the outcome of whatever policy we come up with together. These politicians either don't honestly know or don't care about the stress and burden this influx of illegal immigration is having on border states. They need to see it for themselves now.

    What trouble? I thought illegal aliens didn't cause trouble? That they were hard working productive members of society who commit less crime than citizens? That they are nothing but beneficial? That IS the liberal progressive talking points anyways.

    If it were up to me, I'd expedite their asylum applications and reject most and then send them back to Mexico, but it seems DeSantis wants to send them to blue States where they can get their applications rubber stamped so they can stay and work in US for life, and even bring in more people legally. Its a weird approach coming from someone who claims to be against them being in US. But hey, its politics so anything goes.

    Sure, no doubt they will be legalized in no time in a place like MA.
