Gov Abbott sends migrants to VP residence
Between 75 and 100 people who were picked up in Eagle Pass, Texas, were sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The group includes migrants from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico. Since VP Kneepads refuses to go to the border, Abbott is bringing the border to her.
Also, Gov DeSantis sent two planeloads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard.
TOO DAMN SWEET.

RE: Gov Abbott sends migrants to VP residence
I would assume there are a significant number of Republicans up there. While I know Massachusetts as a whole is blue, I not sure Martha's Vineyard is. I wonder if this could backfire for Republicans in terms of political fundraising?

I'm sure she'll invite them in and sit them down to talk about the wonders of space travel.

Fantastic. They won't change until their policy impacts them personally.

Who is they? Our border policy has been a failure of BOTH parties for YEARS. There's been numerous compromises and proposed solutions and yet nothing substantive gets done, by either party.
Laying this at the feet of one party or president is just ridiculous.
And if you actually think this stunt, sending people to the home of the VP, is going to move the needle in your favor, you might just be...no, you're stupid. I give you Governors Abbott and DeSantis.

Those funds pale compared to what taxpayers are paying to feed, cloth, provide medical care, etc.. to those crossing the border illegally.

Yeah...and...you think this is going to accomplish anything?
The failure is congress, both parties, and it's been a failure for years spanning administrations of both parties.

Yet the problem has gotten worse under Biden. Harris absolutely lied about the border being secure so it's appropriate that they send a message to her that she is incorrect as she is on most things.

Yet magically, it is THIS administration who is setting records for border crossings each month.

RE: Gov Abbott sends migrants to VP residence
This is what happens when Republicans are in control. Spend money to shift the problem to someone else and hope to get political points on the way
EDIT: Why is Desantis involved with migrants from the Texas border?

RE: Gov Abbott sends migrants to VP residence
I thought that burr headed retarded press sec said they were doing more at the border than Trump did.
But good for Abbott. Make the street ho deal with the illegal aliens. Texas shouldn’t have to. They’re not wanted in the US. Let Kumswala be responsible for them.

RWT was quoted...
I guess Trump's border policy was a failure since they kept showing Obama's kids in cages.

RE: Gov Abbott sends migrants to VP residence
When they first started doing this, I had serious doubts it would do anything.
After seeing the ass-chapped responses, I would say it has worked out better than anyone could have imagined.
Keep sending them on up.

Sending to Martha's Vineyard is funny because now it's the rich man's problem.
I love it - send all of them to sanctuary cities. They preach acceptance, practice what you preach.

Interesting verbiage..."problem?"
How is it a problem? These are fine people looking to settle in. They deserve to be here. Shifting them to a higher GDP area will unlock their true potential and we should all applaud that.
Unless you're a bigot.

Maybe if they spent less time shuttling people around on taxpayer dollar, and more time protecting children in school. Is it any wonder why Republicans are mocked around the world?
