    It’s about delivery. What they’re doing is lying to people, and then dumping them randomly in downtowns or in places unprepared to provide services. Not to mention, the cost of this political theater is significantly more than just… You know, helping them directly.

    If this was done with actual humanitarian goals and compassion, states can coordinate and actually help people.

      That’s always the case. Like how it’s more expensive to police homelessness than home them.

      Help them how? You think some Texas town can fix an immigrants life and process them for less than $1800 per head?

      The sanctuary cities have resources and infrastructure which texas biarder towns do not, splitting the large numbers of immigrants between them makes sense if those people are going to be living in the community until they’re processed. The prior method of keeping them in cages fed on gruel and afforded no humanity is rightfully ruled out so what other option is there?

      I agree that it should be better organized, maybe the receiving states should have an open and balanced dialog where they agree to pay for and organize transport themselves to ensure the people are treated with dignity and everything is organized for their arrival.
