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?
So you think $1800 per migrant for a bus ride is an efficient and fair use of taxpayer dollars? You think dumping them in six specific Democrat-led cities is a fair distribution? You think migrants looking for a better life are a burden to be shared and not an economic and cultural benefit?
Six cities that declared themselves sanctuary cities? Surely those are the best places, they actively advertise migrants are welcome.
And you say dumping them but then say they're an economic and cultural benefit, surely if you believe that you think its great thes six democrat cities benefit?
As for the cost, maybe those cities could send their own busses to collect them instead? Would be a strong move politically plus they could be better prepared for their arrival. But yes that's not a huge amount of money for the logistics of moving people, cheaper than housing them all and paying all the other costs in the boarder towns they come from, cities have far more resources and better infrastructure. Though of course it wouldn't be popular for the local politician because as we've seen the sanctuary cities get upset when faced with the reality of large numbers of immigrants.
They actually don’t. Denver tells them they don’t have the resources to help them and pays to have them bussed elsewhere (of their choice, instead of tricking them and lying to them like Texass does.)
Well yeah they declared themselves a sanctuary city for political points, they didn't want to deal with reality.
