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.
I’m a Republican trying to Protect The Children and I’m MUCH happier with my Tax Dollars going to HUMAN TRAFFICKING then to FEEDING STARVING AMERICAN CHILDREN!
Republicans don’t care about children
make an argument that debunks what he just said instead of saying “uhhh no you cant do this cause i dont think you can”
Is this not a human trafficking operation? What is the FBI doing with their thumbs in their asses?
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, form of modern-day slavery involving the illegal transport of individuals by force or deception for the purpose of labour, sexual exploitation, or activities in which others benefit financially.
Human Trafficking, according to Miriam-Webster:
Organized criminal activity in which human beings are treated as possessions to be controlled and exploited (as by being forced into prostitution or involuntary labor).
Human Trafficking, according to the UN:
Human Trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of people through force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit.
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
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.
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.
