    The New York migrant crisis up close

    excerpt:

    Since 2022, New York City has absorbed more than 170,000 migrants, mostly sent on buses by Texas officials from the US-Mexico border. Many of them are asylum-seekers who hail from South American countries facing political and economic upheaval, like Venezuela and El Salvador. . . .

    Because Texas senators voted against a bipartisan immigration reform bill?

    That's part of it. They decided to use Texas tax dollars on rolls of wire and water barriers instead of federal money to assist with more border guards and security at the border. Good ole Ted and Greg, little Trump finger pointing puppets, just waiting to accept aid from a Republican President instead of a Democrat, so they can take the credit.

    sooo what is the actual reason he dropped out? Anything yet? Still waiting. Health? Electioneering? Bored of the job and seeking new challenges?

    Judging from the people who have spoken that know Obama, they beleive the initial story was wrong about Obama and the supposed snub of Biden. They've all said that he keeps his cards very close to his chest and that the initial story was wrong. If that's the case, then this one is also wrong.

    Either way, it is soap opera crap, and not important to those who aren't into the clucking hen gossip stuff.

    Sometimes I have a mild interest in the hen house
