Texas has spent more than $124 million sending buses of migrants to sanctuary cities, according to records obtained by Nexstar.
According to documents Nexstar obtained, Texas has paid $124,603,616.19 to bus more than 100,000 migrants from the state’s border communities to Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles as of Jan. 10. That equals out to 2,245 buses year to date, an average of 45 migrants per bus.
Nexstar obtained the documents through a public information request to the Texas Division of Emergency Management — the agency tasked with this initiative. The majority of the payments have been made to Wynne Transportation LLC, with a handful of payments made to Transportation Management Services Inc.
Yes, and its very effective to get politicians to realize that illegal immigration is a bad thing.
How much does public transportation cost? The schools? Similar thing.
Are you seriously arguing that trafficking humans is justified politicking, because roads and education cost money to grow and maintain?
Jesus fucking Christ, bruh…
Its not trafficking. Is all public transit trafficking?
Oh really? It’s not trafficking? Prove it. Because I can prove that it is.
Human Trafficking, according to Britannica:
Human Trafficking, according to Miriam-Webster:
Human Trafficking, according to the UN:
Also, don’t bother being pedantic about the word “profit.” We both know politicking and remaining in power is a profit motive on its own.
Additionally, why do you keep going on about public transportation? Do you think Greyhound is public transportation? Because it’s not. It is “public” in that it transports the public, but it’s 100% a private corporation. Chartering an interstate bus to trick people dressed for South Texas weather to go to New York in shorts and a T-shirt in order to win political points is by definition transportation and exploitation for profit.
Human. Fucking. Trafficking. QED. And they spent Texans’ tax dollars to do it.
But please, do go off about how coercing humans with few rights and little representation for political points is justified.
What force or deception?
No, answer the original question. You don’t get to change topics as a defensive tactic.
Prove how it’s not trafficking. Provide definitions and evidence to support your position or admit that you’re lying. Then we can address other topics or points of contention.
That whole claim rests on whether or not it was by force or deception
Not who you asked, but this was so well documented in so many news articles that I thought it was basic knowledge. I googled it for you.

It rests on the Texas GOP trafficking humans, also known as human trafficking

“It’s clear the migrants did not give their consent in any real way to be sent here. As many as 40% have family or close relations in other parts of the country who could provide them accommodation, but the migrants were not given the option of going to those places.” Levine wrote. “Not only is the State of Texas not coordinating with NYC, they have made migrants sign NDAs to ensure we get no advance warning of bus arrivals.”
We could send them the fuck back to mexico.
Or, now here’s a wild idea… OR we process their asylum requests in accordance with due process? You know, the laws that state they have to be on US soil before they can request asylum?

I take it, with this obvious pivot, that you have conceded that it is indeed trafficking then?
Its a different guy. The one who was initially arguing never replied.
Spending that money on political stunts that treat immigrants as pawns made us realize what an absolute piece of shit Abbott, Republicans, and their supporters are. The lesson here is that Conservatives see brown people as less than human.
Except it’s not and it didn’t.
If the politicians who say they are against illegal immigration really are, why do they never talk about the people who hire illegal immigrants and give them their whole reason to do so?
It would be pretty easy to go after them. Just have agents pose as illegals and see who hires them.
You have no idea how America was built, do you? Cheap immigrant labor from the wrong kind of whites and slavery if you were too brown.
These ghouls are just out to enrich themselves and don’t care how much human misery it takes to achieve it.
I do know, the practice shouldnt continue.
