I have to say that as much of a piece of shit Abbot is this is helping to make his point. If New York can't withstand the impact of these immigrants then why is Texas expected to?
We definitely need to fix the system to allow for more national absorption of the costs. Though ironically Texas wouldn't go for that because, when you get down to it, the costs aren't what they really care about...
Texas receives billions of federal dollars for border control. It's already being absorbed nationally in that sense. New Yorkers already pay more taxes per capita than Texas does.
This is politically motivated hate theater. Texas is a fascist state, and they want to make sure everyone suffers for it.
Two things here. One is that you are confusing New York and New York City. I absolutely do believe an entire state can manage better than a city. The second thing is that Texas and other border states do receive federal funds for managing the border. Not as much as maybe they require but they do get federal help.
More accurately, it’s mostly because they’re doing it against their will. You get a bus load of people with no support system who don’t want to be here but can’t afford to get anywhere else.
The reason they should stop is it’s inhumane, not that we in NYC can’t handle more people.
they're also lying to get people on the busses
It's called "kidnapping," and you or I would be in jail for decades or life for it.
I'm not actually. Presumably the city is working with the state as well - I don't know though.
Yeah - that's true.
yes
Go back then
There's nothing that screams insecurity as much as an insult followed by the use of epithets. Seriously, though, get a hold of yourself.
So your solution is human trafficking?
They specifically called out Abbott as being a piece of shit for the trafficking, and I think they are making a great point. Is Texas being forced to shoulder an unfair burden here? Or do they receive adequate federal aid for the border and this is all just political posing?
The latter.
News@lemmy.world doesn't want discussion. It wants knee-jerk "fuck this shit" responses only. 🫤
I'm laughing at your down votes. What your day is completely true.
If it helps, I'm laughing at you because you are like a million years old and wasting time trolling on the internet.
The Boomer generation, ladies and gentlemen.
Lemmy sucks. ☹️
