In It to Win It

3. I agree. If I were governor of Colorado or NY, I'd feed them and provide them with what they need

while I have them and put them on a bus back to Texas or Florida, back to whoever sent them.

I’m not even mad that Gregg Abbott is busing them to other states, it’s just that he’s doing this out of spite and for political points; it’s that this isn’t an action to solve a legit problem, like we expect political leaders to do. Instead of being a mature adult with the full power of the state government behind him and coordinating with his fellow governors to take some migrants off of his hands, he dumps him in blue states and only blue states. Instead of trying to ease what may actually be legitimately overwhelming amount of migrants and calling on his governors to coordinate with him, he buses them past all of the red states that may have some capacity to take some migrants just drop them off in front of the White House.

For that reason, I’d put them on a bus right back to Texas.
