I haven’t seen this posted yet, my apologies if it is. Our Governor announced just this afternoon his plans to curb the influx of illegal aliens here in Texas. Top of the list is busing them to the capital in Washington D.C.!

Man, it's just theater. Busing them to D.C. then what?

It’ll piss off biden, that’s enough for me.

It will be great theater if it really happens.

I can't imagine how it could happen. Once released they have all the rights and privileges any US citizen would have, including freedom of movement. They can not detain and ship them where they please. It would amount to kidnapping.

Is the Biden admin not doing the same? Kidnapping them and depositing them across Texas and beyond?

I would like to see practical solutions to this very significant problem. I thought Abbott had more sense. BTW what is the status of the wall? Did you know the DR is building a wall on the Haitian border??

They don't have to get on the buses, they choose to get on.

I don’t see what the objections are for. More DPS boats, more barricades at frequent crossing spots, DPS making “safety stops” to catch more human smugglers, a shit ton of razor wire and busing the illegals that are dropped off in Texas towns out of the state to D.C. for Biden to deal with? Texas is also working to build our own wall. I don’t really care what happens after they make it to D.C., assuming it happens. It’s a thorn in Biden side. I may be going out on a limb, but I’m guessing they’ve considered the legal aspects.

Wondering how that big fence project is
doing since their last Big Announcement???

Howabout he just shuts down his border instead?

Isnt that what the feds do...put them on planes and buses and make them some other state's problem to deal with?

Texas Division of Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd said the state will have over 900 buses for this operation. Texas will also immediately start enhanced inspections of commercial vehicles from Mexico, and install razor wire in the Rio Grande.

I have no problem with this. I'll take anything, even if it's small potatoes, to keep the aliens back. Shit, I'll donate funds to this if needed.

A 1/4 mile wide minefield would be much more effective.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They need to consult with the makers of the Berlin Wall.

There slogan should be
Don’t make any fuss,
Just get on the bus

Not to be outdone, DeSantis came out today and noted that Florida intends to send any of these interlopers dumped in Florida to.....Delaware. Hope he actually does that, and I hope they all find their way to Joe's beach house.

As much as I would love to see the image of a tent city on the White House lawn, we have enough non-producers here in DC already.

^^ Yes, that would be the point - the states are sick of the federal government doing nothing, investing nothing, and pretending to do their jobs while the states have to do all the work and bear all of the cost (financial and in terms of being the "bad guys" when someone has to say "no").

This is an effective way of telling DC to deal with the problems DC has either caused or is blithely ignoring.
