It was already illegal - It was human trafficking.
It'd be nice to have people enforce the laws we already have first instead of this security theatre.
This puts it in his jurisdiction to do something. He really can't do much. But he is fighting with what he has.
They should really stop providing funding to the states transporting migrants to other states. Send the money to the states taking them in and fuck Texas and Florida. That's all.
"You can keep doing it as long as you let us know in advance and come at this time" is a very odd reaction to rampant human trafficking across state lines..
Lol, if you've ever traveled by bus in new York state you'll know there are men with guns who stop the bus and ask to see your papers at least twice before you can get to the city
As an NYC taxpayer, I’ll say that I am glad they’re better off here than in TX, but I wish this weren’t some cunty stunt by Abbott and, rather, a genuinely well-coordinated dealing-with-the-situation.
Oh, and I really hate to give Addams credit for anything, ever, but this was pretty clever (as a political maneuver— just maybe not really helping matters with immigrants that much considering the housing issues).
Perhaps the signals a reversal in policy, or, at least, a reversal in the disaster in how he’s been handling things recently. If he is asking for lead time in immigrant bus arrivals, perhaps he has a plan for provisioning space for them. That, at least, signals much more good news to come on the immigrant housing front.
