    Surely we gotta admit it’s a good plan politically and fair logisticly? Why wouldn’t non-boarder states take a fair share of immigrants?

    Edit - plenty of downvotes but no answer to the question, why wouldn’t they?

      The problem is many times they would not tell the immigrants nor the destination city that they were doing it… making life even harder on these human beings for no other reason than to score political points. Should have worked with all cities from the beginning to do what is best for them. They are treated as sub human by Republicans.

      So you think $1800 per migrant for a bus ride is an efficient and fair use of taxpayer dollars? You think dumping them in six specific Democrat-led cities is a fair distribution? You think migrants looking for a better life are a burden to be shared and not an economic and cultural benefit?

      It’s about delivery. What they’re doing is lying to people, and then dumping them randomly in downtowns or in places unprepared to provide services. Not to mention, the cost of this political theater is significantly more than just… You know, helping them directly.

      If this was done with actual humanitarian goals and compassion, states can coordinate and actually help people.
