This is how one should deal with these Abbot and Desantis cruel stunts

First, I would make every federal resource available to the impacted cities and arrange for temp housing and care for those immigrants.

Then, I would seize every bus and airplane involved for investigation of possible criminal prosecution for fraud, human trafficking and kidnapping. Seize busses and aircraft, and then see if there are any other bus and aircraft charter companies that want to "fuck around and find out".

The President should then nationalize the National Guard for this crisis, and begin deploying them out of Texas and Florida to the Port Authority in New York and other cities to house and ensure the humane treatment of these asylum seekers.

Every federal dollar given to these cities and communities to handle these stunts, should be taken from federal dollars sent to Texas and Florida.

For every one bus or plane that transports these immigrants an entire division of military troops (Army, Air Force, Marine) a Navy ship, aviation squadron, and one Coast Guard Cutter should be moved out of Texas and Florida.

Finally, the corporations and businesses that are funding this, and any bus company, airline or charter service that enables this, should have any and all federal government contracts cancelled immediately

Any charter company that participates in this truly evil shitshow should be boycotted to ruin .

Nothing will change! The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the businesses, corporations and individuals that fund and enable it.

states and house and train all these people. Use American homeless to help with teaching and training...there are some really bright homeless families out there that are hard-working but poor. They need help too. It could be mutually beneficial. language exchange teaching and pretty soon the red-neck MAGAs won't be able to get a job anywhere unless they become bi-lingual.

When Hurricane Katrina hit, it took a coordinated effort to try deal with all the evacuees that had their homes destroyed.

I just have a problem with how this is being done.

about their destination, and what is going to happen when they get there. That's wrong no matter how well they're treated afterward.

What if they had let ISIS and Al Qaeda terrorists on those planes?

Did they do background checks on them?

Undocumented immigrants are sometimes flown on charter, but there is always law enforcement, immigration officials with them etc.

But the one clear thing about this, is that ANYONE who supports this shit has lost their humanity.

To cheer on the cruelty?

Too laugh, like peoples lives are just a fucking joke?

This is who the Retrumplican Party is.

This is who our neighbors, co-workers and even family members that support the Retrumplican Party are.

I am a Democrat, and I despise what they Retrumplicans Party has become, but I would never do something so cruel, heartless and evil as this for politics.

Or Green Cards. I mean, it's not like there's a worker shortage, especially in Florida. We saw "Help Wanted" signs EVERYWHERE back in May.

Green cards are not "handed out"...
There is a process.
Also if someone is claiming asylum they are not eligible for a work visa. It's weird...Lots of red tape...

and put him on a plane to Mexico City, where he didn't even reside. When he finally arrived here they actually tried to draft him and send him to Vietnam. I took the phone and told them to fuck themselves. He turned 26 by the time they tried again, so it was a moot point. When he became a citizen, they didn't even check to see if he was a U.S. resident for the required five years. He wasn't. There's no way to predict these things --sometimes ya get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

blocking and opposing immigration reform in order to keep the problem ongoing and use it politically.

If they have a problem with asylum seekers and immigration, then stop blocking meaningful reform.

Our Dem spokespersons need to be saying this loudly and clearly.

Why are we putting up with this? Imagine if Democrats pulled this kind of stunt. Republicans would immediately pull Federal funding until this crap stopped. The only things these people respect are money and power. They need to be deprived of both - now.
