    Chicago should take ownership of the chartered jets, since they’re being used in a crime. They impounded the buses. The federal govt should get involved, follow the money, and arrest some folks. And send all border and migrant funds to these cities.

        They only impounded buses which didn’t follow the rules of dropping them off at certain places and times. Not all buses.

      I’m no lawyer/judge and I didn’t even stay in a Holiday Inn last night. Disclaimer complete.

      This is not legal. It’s a performance that uses real, live human men, women and children as the scenery and props. They’re counting on the short-term gain from the headlines reaching their bigot base to secure the next win. If challenged, their mental gymnasts might trot out a flimsy argument or two about how it’s a state issue instead of federal (even though it’s clearly not) or something along those lines. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if this gets tested in court eventually but am not holding my breath.

      This should be stopped but that alone isn’t enough. These unpatriotic, anti-American red state politicians with no respect for the Constitution must be removed from all positions of power and influence before they do more damage domestically and abroad.

        They need to be thrown in jail or executed as the traitorous terrorists they are.

          Some belong in jail, some deserve other penalties. Barred from public office at least in a lot of cases and whatever other consequences they might face from professional organizations, licensing bodies, etc. with standards for ethical conduct.

      Dems haven’t dont anything on immigration other than telling border camps to stop purposefully seperating families. The camps and treatment haven’t changed. The border is still controlled by the same organizations staffed by the same people.

    Fantastic. Let’s move entire jailed population from blue states and release them on the streets of Bumblefuck, TX. Especially the ones who committed violent crimes. That will be fun

      Human Trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit.

        Yes, and what Texas did fits this description perfectly. It is transfer of people through deception for political and financial profit. So where is your actual problem?

    Texas Republicans are engaged in a criminal conspiracy to traffick human beings across state lines for political gain. Lock them up.

        So the act of convincing people through false pretense to be transfered across state lines under the reasoning that it costs to much sounds like deception for profits.

        Why aren’t they asking for more financial aid (they do get financial aid for such) to find proper solutions? Instead they advertise barbed wire fences in rivers and the yearning to shoot them.

        I still wonder how the fish and wildlife groups aren’t complaining more about the river.

        The federal aid by the way, started by the Obama administration

        Exactly, they should never have come in contact. The state of Texas is aiding and abetting what they would call illegal immigrants.

    Oh no, exporting cheap labor whose tax returns go unclaimed! The horror!

    Leave it to conservatives to shoot themselves in the foot. They’re literally doing Chicago a favor.
