It ain’t his money, it’s the people of Texas’ money, and they keep electing these racist scumbags, so I guess it’s worth it to them to just piss their taxes up a wall, to virtue singal
Many vote red but it is also all the barriers they put in the way for democratic voters. This is a deeply corrupt state.
Yeah, it’s probably the most gerrymandered state in the entire country and that’s fucking SAYING something!
The simple fact that Ted Cruz keeps getting reelected in spite of being almost universally despised should tell you all you need about the state of representative democracy in Texas…
Should have spent that money on their shitbird electrical grid.
Greg Abbott is a little piss baby.
Thats $1841.67 per Migrant.
Not counting legal fees incurred by retaliation from the migrants.
so an empathetic government could have actually just handed them all relief checks a la COVID
Or ironically just let them be so they don’t cost taxpayers money, something Repugnantcans claim to care about.
I prefer repuglicunts, but yours works too.
That’s a MUCH better use of My Taxpayer Dollars then Feeding STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
Or fixing their fucking power grid. Sure hope the voters think about the use of that 220 some million dollars when the power goes out again this winter and they can’t heat their house, again.
Gov. Fascism on Wheels giving $2k government handouts to a bunch of migrants lmao.
It would be actually funny, but these desperate people are being treated like subhuman political pawns.
It seems like the entire immigration system keeps getting more cruel over the years. And now Dems are pushing a far-right immigration bill, and Trump is advocating for a final solution for 12 million people.
Fucking monster.
Though there is some schadenfreude to be had that he managed to actually get the attention he wanted from this only for his colleages in congress to spike the biggest gift of an immigration bill they could have ever hoped for at the behest of their orange toddler-in-chief.
Worst coyotes ever.
Yeah, they love sending them to Denver in the middle of the night during cold winters. They’ve been asked to drop them off during the day, but that wouldn’t be cruel, you know. We welcome our guests, and I will continue to knit and donate scarves for them. Fuck Texas.
Politically I’d argue it did get some democrats to wake up to the issue, maybe not to the extent most would like though. This could’ve been “solved” with Senator Lankford’s bill, but Trump had to … Trump I guess. Hopefully this is resolved soon in some way or another after the election.
And Republican Texans will gobble it up and see no real problem with it, because it hurts the people they dont like. He could bankrupt the state and Republicans would be okay with it if it was in the name of hurting people they don’t like
His citizens freeze to death during the winter and overheat during the summer, but whatever lets bus people 2000 miles away as a stunt. Or you could build apt buildings to house them in…this guy is the worst
This shit is enraging
So, its funny. I remember another statewide leader taking a historic bus trip with a group of immigrants.
Pharmacies just on the other side of the US/Mexico border are selling the exact same prescription drugs as those available in Texas pharmacies at drastically reduced prices, entirely thanks to the cartelized nature of domestic pharmaceutical prices. While it is not illegal to buy these drugs for personal use and transport them across the border, it is illegal to buy them and bring them across the border for sale.
When you think about what a guy like Greg Abbott is doing, when he rounds up a bunch of “illegal immigrants” and buses them around the country, its worth considering what does and does not constitute as crime.
Human trafficking*
It’s not “migrant bussing” it’s fuckin blatant human trafficking.
Call it what it is and hold this piece of shit accountable.
