Since many of them will have to return to where they entered the U.S. to process their asylum cases which can take more than a year - and during this time, most are not allowed to get legal jobs. But, as been said, it appears that the cruelty is the point - in their effort to "own the libs."

I know governor Abbott doesn't mean to but the most compassionate thing hes doing is getting these people far far away from him🤷🏾?♀️

I encourage more voting democrats to get the f*** out of Texas it seems like a great idea

Should be made to pay the money, personally, for this. And criminal charges filed. It would be interesting if they both end up in prison for it and soon.

I think the sactuary city program may cause some legal problems though. Sactuary city means no questions asked for immigration.

Federal crimes are federal crimes. The what they did misled the victims, usurped the immigration laws and protocols, crossed state lines, obviously did so maliciously... local laws are secondary.

the same if want their applications processed. Which is all the vast majority want, a hearing. According to law.

Many questions asked, according to law!
