    Surely we gotta admit it’s a good plan politically and fair logisticly? Why wouldn’t non-boarder states take a fair share of immigrants?

    Edit - plenty of downvotes but no answer to the question, why wouldn’t they?

      The problem is many times they would not tell the immigrants nor the destination city that they were doing it… making life even harder on these human beings for no other reason than to score political points. Should have worked with all cities from the beginning to do what is best for them. They are treated as sub human by Republicans.

        Yes they should but that’s largely down to Democrats, if they wanted to have a dialog and offer to pay to have their busses collect them then I doubt the republican senators could refuse from a political standpoint

        Where are the plans to make a fair ayatem? Where are the calls to organize peoper transport? All I see is democrats calling it immoral and saying they should stop.

          The Republicans won’t tell anyone before they start bussing. They do not want humaine treatment as that won’t assuage their hatred of immigrants. They want the immigrants to suffer and dems to be pissed off. They do not want things done properly and efficiently.

              Of course. It should have been done for decades. Mostly adult working age people looking for work when most countries are struggling for labor. The best investment the united state could make is in is own citizens and new citizens imho. Educate and invest in them asap.

      Is 2000$ per person for a bus ride a good deal in the first place? Might want to check who they paid for the services.

        It’s also including the cost of admin and additional services, but yes immigrants cost the nation a lot of money - you think this is expensive wait until you see how much it costs to house them and all that stuff…

        This is why boarder states are doing it, it is cheaper for them to spend one time 2000 than all the other costs that would be incurred

          Oh I don’t mind paying taxes to support immigrants. We all needed it at some time.

          Besides can you list those administrative costs? They didnt get much for their two grand either way. Its throwing away money. Could have spent the money helping people instead of treating them like cattle.
