It is pretty sick to play around with real human lives like this.
When you make false promises so the immigrants board the plane or bus, then schedule their asylum hearing across the country, it is very much playing with people's lives.
600 million in federal aid was set up to assist with migration in 2023. $770 million is what ended up being dispersed. (An extra 170 million added in). If the aid isn't enough Texas should request more aid.
Everyone is already pitching in. That was started under the Obama/Biden administration if I am not mistaken. Handling a situation responsibly. Putting up barbed wire in rivers and manipulating people and shipping them across the country with no notice isn't responsible. If they wanted responsible they would have reached out to those states and set up a planned process.
Now on to the part that should be fully supported by everyone unless they are just preaching hate. Updating immigration law. The sooner they are documented and working the sooner they are paying taxes. Incoming migrants are money to be made. If we have a good immigration system we fast track their ability to make the country more money quicker (more than covering all those costs we invested)
Great post, but I want to correct the inference that undocumented immigrants don't pay taxes. That isn't true.

For those that don't pay income taxes, they are no different than the 40% of US households with low incomes. Gaining documentation is not likely to push their income to a level where that would really change.
They also pay sales taxes, and property taxes (indirectly through rent).
