    In that case--if you want it to be binary -- the answer is NO.  It is absolutely the opposite of that.  The other states welcome them with open arms.

    So, No, Texas is doing the opposite of supporting them.

    They sure are helping them not get deported by sending them to a sanctuary city.According to you isn't that the definition of a sanctuary city?A place that helps them not get deported?So by Texas sending them there,they are in fact "helping them not get deported",which is part of your definition of a sanctuary city.You can try to spin your way out of it,but that's according to your definition,not mine.

    You said it yourself "they will gravitate to other states by themselves",that's not whats going on.Texas is supporting them by helping them get there to avoid deportation.

Absolutely they are NOT helping them avoid deportation -- they want them deported; BUT the Federal Government will not deport them.  The Federal Government knows EXACTLY where they are if they ever want to deport them.  Texas did not hide them; they tell everyone exactly where they are taking them.
    By sending them to a sanctuary city,they sure are helping them avoid deportation.Thats the object of being in a sanctuary city,by your own definition.

Who is saying this?Who is saying what? Who is saying that?
    Umm,some republicans and trump and his lawyers.Isn't it supposed to go before the Supreme Court soon?

    But the only way the migrants are getting there is by Texas "supporting" them by giving them a free bus ride.

     They sure are helping them not get deported by sending them to a sanctuary city.According to you isn't that the definition of a sanctuary city?A place that helps them not get deported?So by Texas sending them there,they are in fact "helping them not get deported",which is part of your definition of a sanctuary city.You can try to spin your way out of it,but that's according to your definition,not mine.

    No.  They are NOT getting deported in Texas either -- that is the point.  Moving them somewhere else so Texas does not have to support them is not supporting them.

    That is not my definition of 'sanctuary city' -- you can find that online.

    Its is not spin; it is FACT -- they are moving them out of Texas so they do NOT have to support them.  Texas does NOT want them and the Federal Government will not deport them, period -- from either state.

    Again, that is the definition online.

    Bottomline they are out of Texas and Texas no longer has to support them or worry about them.  This is not hard to comprehend -- you are just pretending you do not get it.

    No.  That is NOT the reason Texas is moving them.  Texas wants them deported.  IF Texas knew they would be deported if they held them for the Feds -- they would hold them to be deported.

    This is also untrue.  As I pointed out, some have other states as a final destination in mind already; Texas just speed that process up so they can get rid of them and not have to support them.

    @Raiders22

     So you are saying that Texas is not intentionally bussing migrants to "liberal" destinations to make a point? If so I think you are mistaken. Why would Texas ship people up to New York when there are places of less distance to bus? To me it is a ploy, a tactic it is antagonistic and intentional. They are trying to force the issue and are using those people as pawns to their game. I am not siding with the deportation topic and saying open border and people should stay rather that Texas is taking specific and targeted steps to make their point.

     No, I think you and others cannot have constructive conversations with anyone when your hate or dislike for a person you don't know is so great that it clouds any interaction one could have with you...imagine if every post that others make is about Biden all the time every time....kind of annoying and places you in a weak position about having a discussion...in a post/reply that has nothing to do about Trump but rather your dual accounts on COVERS you can't pass up the opportunity to slander Trump when that reply/discussion had nothing whatsoever to do with Trump....that was the point of my post and your response to that just proved my point...

     

    A lot of you hate someone so much that you can't have conversations with you because your judgement is clouded...to then nines even....when you are interjecting Trump hate into posts and responses that are not even germane to the topic then you can already tell where that person is or stands....some of you are just filled with hate that you can't even see what my post was telling you....stop posting about Trump hate when no one is even talking about Trump....the discussion was about your two user accounts and that had nothing to do with Trump...yet, you can't even see what you are doing....

     No problem...I think using people of any origin as pawns for a political purpose is putrid and disgusting. What is worse is people applaud and support behavior like that because they think the goal is worth the tactic.

    Candidate Biden called on Illegal immigrants to surge the border.

    Now he claims he never said that.

     

    Biden's strategy , should i say the one of his handlers , is very simple.

    1) Get as many illegal immigrants in the country

    2) Legalize them to create a permanent majority , a one party country

     

    This is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration , official numbers are what , like 9 million since he took office , estimates

    say it could be up to 20 million by now. 

     

    Simple , yet effective.

    If that was the sole purpose, sure.  But the folks would rather be in a place that wants them and can help them anyway.

    What should they do?  Just ask for more money from the states that are okay with illegals?

    You can easily make the point that the other side is allowing the illegals in as political pawns as well -- very easy to make that case even easier I think.

    But, nonetheless, it needs to be resolved better -- and not simply allowing illegals to enter and even encouraging it.

    Great replacement conspiracy theory is absurd.  Based on false assumptions that all immigrants are democrats and that no longer being the majority group means a loss of power.  Biden administration is doing almost everything legal to reduce illegal immigration.  The problem is that immigration officials aren't able to keep up with demand from global displacement of populations.  Adding more officers and judges could help.  No president has the authority to simply shut down border to violate asylum laws.

    Great replacement conspiracy theory is absurd.  Based on false assumptions that all immigrants are democrats and that no longer being the majority group means a loss of power.  Biden administration is doing almost everything legal to reduce illegal immigration.  The problem is that immigration officials aren't able to keep up with demand from global displacement of populations.  Adding more officers and judges could help.  No president has the authority to simply shut down border to violate asylum laws.
