I saw this on the news tonight. Texas Governor talking of busing the illegal aliens up to DC and dropping them off on the White House door.
Maybe they should leave them outside of VP Harris's door.

Drop some off at Trump's door too! Where's the wall and the check from Mexico to pay for it?

How exactly do we identify who is the illegal? How do we got them on the bus? What happens when they get here?
Sounds like a great sound bite for the ignoramuses, but a really stupid idea.

Again, proof that republicans are all out of ideas they can sell to Americans. It is all performative now. You know, Republicans in Washington had every opportunity to negotiate with democrats and come up with a new plan when they controlled congress and trump was president. Instead, all they wanted to do was build a wall which has been breached repeatedly. Abbott should worry about texas

Well according to the ads from people running for the Nebraska State Government it's anyone who appears to have the slightest indication they are of Hispanic descent (brown) and you get them on the bus with a big shiny automatic weapon you are handling like Barney Fife. While wearing an American flag trucker hat. And as you load them on the bus you constantly talk about what a good Christian you are. That is a biggie. You're not doing it right if you aren't informing everyone that this is the work of Jesus. I'll get back to you once I finally work out how exactly the Texas boarder is an issue for Nebraska.

I have been saying for several years that the solution to all of this is bureaucrats. We need literally thousands of lawyers, judges and administrators to process refugees and determine their status. The system is so bogged down that it can't do anything. We need a plan to deal with unaccompanied minors to make sure they don't end up on the streets and we need people to monitor those processes. If we had taken the 15B that was spent on the wall and used it to work through the "millions of undocumented people coming across the border" we would be in much better place. We also would have identified all the rapists and murderers and made sure they weren't out raping and murdering our precious white women.
I think it is a great idea to send them to DC - there are more lawyers and bureaucrats there than anywhere else.

Yeh like Biden loading commercial jets with migrants and dumping them at airports in the middle of the night across the country.

I was in Nebraska few weeks ago. The tv political ads were appalling. All sound bite, no substance. Nebraskans really don't have any good choices for governor yet. The Texas border is an issue for Nebraska because that is where the packing plant employees, feed yard employees and farm workers come from. The rural economy would be in tough spot if all the workers disappeared. If the southern border doesn't provide these workers, the farming and food manufacturing sector will seek out immigrants from other countries.

My husband worked for a big meat processor that got busted in 2009 for bussing people INTO the United States and forging documentation so they could work in the plant. If they were arguing against the wall I would get it because the wall will cause the agriculture industry to stop lining their pockets. But the Republicans are running on how they will fight hard to fulfill Trump's mission of building a wall. Not exactly sure how a wall along the Rio Grande is making life in Nebraska better but whatever.

I am pretty sure they are going to places where they have family or friends while their refugee status is evaluated.

No president or vice president has ever come up with a solution which won't violate human rights or destroy the environment. If that is what Rip meant he should have said so. Additionally, Rip has always come across as minimumly a covert border-line racist.

It is so tiresome of the same posters all yelling "racist", but it is usually always the same posters. Now swamp has joined this crowd too. Yes, the V.P. is in charge of the southern border problem. Let her solve it, and until then if the migrants are dropped at her doorstep, she might remember that was the job assigned to her. Still waiting for her to report back to America on the problem.

The problem cannot be solved by one person. There is no solution without changing the laws around immigration, but those won't get passed because the GOP base has been convinced our problems are caused by immigration. Not sure why - the GOP used to love all immigrants as they were fairly easy to exploit, added a lot to the work force, and spent every dollar they got - boosting the economy. The best explanation for the flip is racism/xenophobia.

The Trump administration say they've completed more than 400 miles of border wall since then.
It's 452 miles (727 km) in total, according to the latest US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) information (4 January 2021).
However, only 80 miles of new barriers have been built where there were none before - that includes 47 miles of primary wall, and 33 miles of secondary wall built to reinforce the initial barrier.www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46748492

The problem is not going to get solved until all the GOPers who hire the illegals (DT, remember?) are put in jail. That's not going to happen any time soon due to the campaign contributions they send out to all GOPers running for any office. As always, it's follow the money. Don't know why any GOPer is complaining about any illegal since most are employed by some other GOPer! Doesn't matter where they are employed...field hands, meat plants, packing plants, service industry (motels/restaurants), etc...most are employed by a GOP person or right leaning corp.!
