Earlier today, Florida's governor sent 50 migrants to Massachussetts as a political stunt. This seems like there is some coordinated event going on now.

    Doesn't this just give Kamala free pr? What level of :brainworms: made them think this would be bad for the dems rather then letting them pretend to care for free?

      It doesn't even make sense because Kamala famously said :volcel-kamala:
      None of it makes sense.

      The migrants were from Venezuela and fleeing sanctions that the US placed on Venezuela. These people were trying to escape economic hardship that the US created at their home.

      Also, part of Trump's "stolen election" conspiracy theory was that Democrats were busing migrants to big "sanctuary cities". That did not happen, but now republicans are busing migrants to the big cities.

      What they are doing is probably not even legal. I can't say for sure but it seems like this could be considered human trafficking. Gavin Newsom just announced that he's asking the Federal government to investigate this.

      It's not supposed to make sense, it's supposed inflict cruelty on vulnerable people. Chuds want to do cruelty on immigrants, they don't care if the reasoning makes sense.

        Abbott going down because he accidentally did human trafficking when he was trying to do something else stupid and evil would be hilarious

      The way the chuds see it, Texas is Ground Zero of the 'barbarian invasion.' The fragile libs out on the coasts don't understand what it's like to have to live near migrant laborers with their unintelligible languages and spicy foods. To them, this is just saying "Let's see how they like it!" as if there aren't tons of undocumented immigrants in any major port city and surrounding metro area as well. As if I don't hear people speaking Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Hindi every day at work. I guess I'm supposed to be scared and owned as 50 oppressed cleaning ladies step off the bus, thinking they are all Chapo Guzman.

      In summary: :libs-owned:

        That's very similar to how conservatives talk about the migrants in my Central American country. The argument is that they're low-lifes who spread crime and drugs wherever they go. There's a lot of popular support to have the police and military forcefully deport them because of it.

      It's hypocrisy mongering as far as I can tell. The implication is Harris will use force to remove the immigrants from around her house, instead of letting them inside to live there. A common conservative retort to believing immigrants are people is "would you let them in your house?"

      The idea there is if you don't want strangers in your house, this somehow translates to not wanting immigrants in your country. There's also an implication immigrants simply are not human and only cause problems.

      I've been overhearing conservative hogs at work laugh about this all day, saying stuff like "now they're her problem!" Because immigrants existing near you is somehow an implicit problem to solve.

      I think it was a cushvlog that said this, all politicians now can do these days is react to the “news” or generate their own “news”. Abbott’s billion+ dollar “border mission” has proven him impotent so all hot wheels can do is offer to put a bunch of Venezuelans on a bus. This is all about Fox News talking points, that’s it
