First bus from Texas drops off migrants in D.C.

[Scootertrash]

A bus from Texas arrived in Washington, D.C. Wednesday morning, transporting dozens of illegal immigrants as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s new plan to counter federal immigration policies during an ongoing border crisis.

Abbott announced last week that he was directing the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to transport migrants released from federal custody in Texas to the nation’s capital and other locations outside his state.

They need to keep it up. A bus or two won't make the point.

Better yet, drop them off near Pelosi's house. Obama's too, since he's probably still in control of Biden.


I'd like to suggest Hollywood, but L.A. is already a gutter city and rich actors have the privilege of being able to ignore the detritus surrounding them.


On a last note, maybe drop them off near the homes of every mental case on The View. Whoopie's house first.

[El Camexican]

Symbolic showmanship with human pawns.

Brandon sends up political smoke signals inviting them up to the States and then Abbott ships them around like cattle between stock shows.

A - they shouldn’t be in the US
B - they shouldn’t be treated like human mail

The American (lack of) immigration system SUCKS, and why is that? Maybe because both sides love using it as a political hot button?

And WTF is Abbott trying to prove at the commercial crossings???? Like you guys don’t have enough shortages and inflation already??? He’s shooting himself in the foot with a bazooka with this stunt. Every Texas Republican I’ve spoken with is furious over this. You can expect anything from Mexico to be going up close to $0.01 a pound next week and that’s over and above the current fuel surcharges. There has to be a better way to punish Joe’s handlers, like maybe stop all North bound fuel trucks from leaving Texas and inspect them for a few weeks?

Whatever, we have our own sh*t show to deal with down here thanks to Brandon and our own clowns, just thought I’d vent.

While I totally agree with the "Shouldn't be treated like human mail" mindset, I'm not sure what else can be done. Brandon and his scum are shipping them to other states and cities to try to cover up the clusterfack of their border policies. How long and how much money should Texas have to spend before they stand up for themselves?

On the other hand, I find it hard to believe that the "migrants" don't know that they doing something wrong/illegal, even if they are fed propaganda that convinces them to head north.

Until I hear otherwise, I'm fairly certain they aren't being mistreated and will be taken care of.

Republicans? Is there such a thing anymore? The more bullshit I see going on, the more I'm inclined to believe in the "Uniparty".

I have no idea what you mean about the commercial crossings. Off to explore the innerwebz.........

[El Camexican]

He all but shut commercial traffic down by insisting on 100% inspections of trucks and cargo, but as of today I think he’s backed off after it blew up in his face.

As far as what can be done about your uncontrolled migration, good luck. Now that’s it’s been politicized it will never get fixed.

As long as people tune in to the kardashians, it will continue to be a show. Its the exact same for politics. I like the message, but it really is no more than a stunt. The problems are deep rooted and not going away. Massachusetts is GONE. Corruption and the progressive agenda has completely destroyed the state. Boston is quickly turning into Chicago. Like El Cam said, its not "illegal" if there are no consequences for breaking the law. Why should these "migrants" not come here? Out of the goodness of their hearts? Because its "the right thing to do?" F that. I'd be running right up here if I was living in some impoverished 3rd world shithole. Its not their fault,,, ITS OURS!!! Allowing the judges at the local levels to act with impunity is the spot where the rubber meets the road. Everything above it is theater and everything below it is trivial. The complete breakdown of basic justice is and will be the downfall of the republic. I always had a thought that if I had stupid money id go sit in the district courthouse and watch one after another after another face no consequences for their actions. I'd buy up neighboring houses and properties to the judges and their families and I'd fill them with the people that they so casually let loose on us. It would not be long before things changed. Its really the same principle as the bused illegals, just at a community level that would have an impact.

When the federal government bypasses the immigration laws, they steal the hope of a better life.

Imagine trying to flee from murderous cartels, terrorist organizations, unrelenting poverty, human trafficking, only for them to be allowed to follow.


Open borders are not the moral high road, they are an indicator that America will not provide sanctuary from the evils of this world.


The current situation cannot be remedied by handling it with kid-gloves. Governor Abbott is forced to do something and transporting people across the country on a tour bus is by far the least horrific thing he could do. It's certainly not in the extreme as what the U.K. is doing now, because they have reached a breaking point after decades of ideological open border policies which have destroyed their own culture. Instead of a little hardship from enforcing border policies, countries around the world are cranking it to 11 because of their own poor judgment and political interest.

Maybe the world is spinning backwards, flinging all prior noble accomplishments into the void, as feudalism knocks at the door.


Edit: As a note, see what is happening in El Salvador now.

"Speaking at a police barracks in the capital San Salvador, Bukele addressed public concerns of gangs "taking revenge" on the population due to the massive arrest operations.

If they commit an act of revenge, "there will not be even one meal in the prisons," the president said.

"I swear to God that they will not eat a single grain of rice, and we will see how long they last, and I don't care what international organizations say," he added."

Those 'international organizations' ask for tolerance ,then demanded it, then ask for acceptance, then demand it. It's not about right or wrong, good or evil, suffering or peace, it's only about power and control, and the world burns in their shadow if no one stands up to them. If no one rises to the task of carrying the burden of what must be done, the entire world shoulders it. To let a dog suffer through rabies until death is not compassion, it is weakness.

I hope the bus drivers drop them of in front of the White House.Better yet drop them at all the leftist addresses starting with dip Biden.

[El Camexican]

If you guys want to see how sh*t gets done, check out El Salvador‘s president and his solution to gang problems. This guy is kicking ass and taking names like no other.

He’s also calling out all the bleeding heart organizations that are arguing against his methods, I particularly love his rebuttal to those who criticize his strong arm moves against the gangs when he asks them why they’re so worried about the treatment of criminals, but say nothing about the blood of innocent citizens spilling down their streets?

He also has a policy that says that the incarcerated gang members (all 22,000 of them) will not be allowed to eat any petter than the poorest law abiding citizen in the country. “No more chicken dinner putos!”

I don’t know how, but I managed to completely missed your post the last time I was going through the thread. I’m glad to hear that the El Salvadoran president’s speech is available in English.

I think this is the entire speech.

English subtitles of course.

I don't know anything about the guy, but his words sound genuine to me. The current crop of Caligula-esque world leaders (rulers) don't have enough empathy to come up with words like that.

I particularly like the statement he made about the killers of families eating chicken while in prison when the victim's family is only able to afford beans and tortillas. That really sums up the corruption and societal dysfunction he's facing. It's certainly noticeable how fat most of those gang members are. To be fair, fat and also out of shape. No Butter Beans in that group.

I’m of the belief that if a dog attacks a person without provocation it should be put down. I feel the same way about people who “bite” other people. Trash like this isn’t easily rehabilitated. Oh sure, the bleeding hearts want you to hear all about the guy that found Jesus and turned his life around, but they don’t make any mention of all the lives he destroyed prior to his rehabilitation. They also don’t usually mention that the one guy who got his act together is exactly that, one guy out of thousands of others who are just waiting to get out and Cannibalize society again.

I don’t agree with China on a lot of things, but their penal system is second to none when it comes to reforming and if need be “repurposing” evil people. It’s no coincidence that it’s the safest country in the world.

And of course you have the socialists who claim that the state of Latin America can be blamed solely on Europeans and later Americans… and they have a point, but there are a lot of countries that have stood up to invasive forces over the centuries and came out stronger for it, so I have a hard time sympathizing with that excuse given that most of the continent has had multiple free elections and written their own constitutions in the years after the bad guys left. The fact that they keep getting dick leaders isn’t anyones fault but their own.

I'm not so certain about it being the "safest country in the world". That would be based on what info the state run police make public and I'd question the legitimacy of that info.

Another thing is if people only behave because of an oppressive government, that is not the same as people who willing practice personal restraint, as in to intentionally create a safe and welcoming society.

My experience with Chinese tourists in America is they are often the most ill mannered, like children away from their parents. By contrast, the Japanese tourists are excitable, but aren't feral acting. I don't think I've ever met any North Korean tourists in the US, maybe they're well behaved, if they can leave home.

Then there's the Chinese restaurants in the US that that employ illegals from Mexico, Central, and South America. The ones I mention are the ones who provide squalid housing, wages far below minimum for inhuman work hours, and will threaten them with deportation or homelessness if they object. This is a nation-wide issue, just like the 'massage parlors'.

If you get a chance to attend the annual Wal-Mart share holders event in Arkansas, the Chinese share holders look like a military troop everywhere they go. Not that it's bad, but it's a Peking duck away from a goose step.


I had a white American neighbor who taught English in China and he seemed to like being there. I think he was a LARPer. Fair and balanced observation?

My comment is based on having spent the better part of a year in total in numerous cities within the mainland dating back to 2006. There is crime, environmental, tax, etc, but robbery, mugging, assault, extortion are almost unheard of. I’ve never felt safer anywhere.

Do I like my every move followed by three or more cameras including facial recognition and being forced to check in every 24 hours? Nope, but it makes for an extremely safe environment.

I think we can agree that the semblance of order there is based on fear.

Just a little humor...especially if you've seen the movie.

Things are more complicated than that, for certain.

China's use of electronic surveillance would be a separate conversation concerning the question of whether technology is advancing humanity or retarding it. It's pretty much the same concept as the Stasi, with less physical presence, more faux personal choice.
