Chicago locals not happy about bussed immigrant housing plan

The intent and motive is what makes it dehumanizing. When people like Abbot do it they are doing it with the same motive people have for hunting deer because of over breeding and population control.

 

TX and FL have no interest in solving the problem; they just want to play politics.

A federally assisted work program for asylum seekers could be effective, but it is likely to become a political issue because Republicans in Congress may (actually will) argue that it takes jobs away from Americans. As a result, the federal government, under any administration, may be too afraid to act due to this Catch-22 to hell situation.

Worth a try IMO.

 

You're close to getting there but not quite. The *REASON* why it hasn't it because appropriations are subjected to the filibuster which means you need 10 republican votes. This goes back to the core issue is republican don't wsnt to allocate money to fix the issue when they can score political points.

The root issue here is congress and the filibuster. The filibuster is why we have gun violence every day and why we have a broken immigration system. It doesn't allow either party to govern sufficiently and pass laws that are needed.

Republicans WANT gun violence and a broken border because normie voters will always claim republican are good at crime and safety. It plays into their hand and its why Republicans don't wanna fix the issue in congress.

Nix the filibuster and let the party govern

 

fewer.

 

They had a supermajorify for less than 6 months. The "60th" vote was a pro life pro neocon democrat. To claim dems ever had a working super majority is very disingenuous from you.

If we hadn't had the filibuster we would've banned assault riffles by now and we would've had immigration reform. It's a fact

 

Child labors law being relaxed is a desperation move for more labors. Immigration is the highly available natural human resources for a plus/plus if not for the damn politics.

 

Several posters have already stated my view. To put it in my own words. Yes I agree there is a strain on resources at the border moving migrants away from the border and spreading out the burden is what should be done. Doing it though without even consulting the states you're sending the migrants too is a political stunt. Flying migrants on a private plane from one state to the other at 10 times the cost to a state that wasn't even the from or to state is a political stunt and wast of money.

If Abbott, DeSantis et all were serious about solving the problem. They should be meeting with the other states to discuss ways of moving migrants to other states. If space was the concern there is a lot of room in states like North Dakota. IN fact North Dakota is suffering from a glut of housing because they built tons of housing in Williston area during the oil boom there that emptied out when it became too expensive to get ND oil.
Now that I think about maybe MN Gov. Tim Walz should bus our homeless to ND.

Like many things the Southern Border and immigration across it is a real problem. Just moving migrants from their to Blue states without any attempt to cooperate with those states and the Federal government isn't solving the problem. It's just political gamesmanship.

 

North Dakota is looking for Jakes to fill those homes, not Juans

 

There were actually a lot of Juans that were working the oil fields of ND.

 

How many Jesuses?

 

Wouldn't funding for migrant detention centers qualify to be done through reconcilliation, as it is clearly a revenue and spending issue?

 

No. This is why trump didn't pass his border wall funding in the tax cut scam. It didn't fit into the reconciliation rules.

The filibuster is literally destroying this country and preventing any sort of governoring. You should be able to pass what you want and voters should be able to judge you 2 years later. It's destroying this country.

@Kim the new biden rules have expanded title 42 to all of Latin America now. These migrants that are coming will be deported right away. The issue as you said some of them have a legal right to file for asylum and dealing with them is tricky.

Biden has to push for remain in Mexico

 

Send them to Oregon breh
Problem solved

 

I don't know that building a border wall and funding something that is already mandated are the same thing, but I will take your word for it since I can't find anything specific on it.

I absolutely disagree. In fact, I would prefer that both houses adopt a 2/3 majority rule to advance legislation. Go gridlock.
