seize the planes and buses shipping immigrants to other states

then use them to relocate willing homeless people to warm weather states like florida and texas to get away from winter in the north. watch how fast they stop shipping people.
and if 1 person claims they didnt willingly get on the bus or plane sent by abbott or desantis then start arresting officials in texas and florida for kidnapping, human trafficking and anything else they can think of

want to go. Relatives in Chicago? send them there. Ohio? send them there. Texas? send them there... Then the immigrants would not be pawns... YMMV

Trump employed illegals (republican term).

obviously they don't need the money since they are saving so much by unloading the immigrants.

BTW, on MSNBC this morning... some privately financed group has offered to work with the states that want to deport these LEGAL immigrants (asylum seekers) and relocate as many as Texas and Floriduh want to send... and the governors refused. Meaning this isn't about a border crisis, it's not about the cost of helping these people out or solving some problem... it is all about a political stunt using poor people as political props... which, I am pretty certain, a crime ( human trafficking ).

At least many of the suggestions here are designed to help people instead of merely using them.

Moving people with very little agency in an effort to get back at governors who will never see those people is hardly helping them.

They are proving a point and many who proclaim themselves liberal are helping them make it.

I especially like the idea of transporting the homeless to warm weather.
But...then they're still homeless.

Florida I thought I could make it thru the Florida summer without A/C.. 93-95dgs with almost 100% humidity and just a fan did not cut it. And don't get me going about the sun.
Hot humid and lots of sun makes jack a dull boy... Then I understand why people in the south are considered slow.. IT'S TOO HOT TO MOVE!!
You must have been cooking...

where they have no knowledge of resources, safe places to stay (in or out of formal shelters), find food, etc. is a kindness merely because it is warm?

And who says they want to be transported somewhere warm.
