Where do you live. I live 100 miles from the border. This is not about ideology; it is about the inability of the border towns and cities to handle anymore migration. Sadly, rather than embracing these immigrants when they land and helping them find housing, health care, and jobs... it seems the hypocrites up north are trying to divert attention to the fact that they don't want immigrants in their backyards. What a bunch of hypocrites.
This debate is not about culpability, our failure to secure the border has helped to fund human trafficking and drug smuggling and all the ills that come from it.
But the issue is how do we distribute the millions of immigrants coming across the border more evenly around the country to avoid the problems that are emerging in these border towns.
Are you aware that the Democratic mayor of El Paso has been transporting immigrants to northern cities for months. This is not a Republican Democrat issue (though it is a product of Biden's failure to secure the border). It is a humanitarian and equity issue. No town or state can support the massive increase in people needing social services and so if we don't deport the immigrants, we need to distribute them across the country.
I lived in an affluent town in South Florida that grew from 18,000 to 90,000 over ten years. We benefited from the wealthier people fleeing Columbia and Venezuela and we had to build a new elementary school every year. A new middle schools every three years. And a new high school every six years. But poorer towns can't do that... and instead the class sized explode to 45 children, the clinics are overwhelmed, the crime rates soar, people become homeless.
If you care... you should not condemn the Republican governors for transporting immigrants to sanctuary cities, but rather the lack of welcome these immigrants receive when they arrive. Really deplorable...
