The federal government is not providing funding to house, feed, educate and keep communities safe from the influx of 3 million unknown people.
What were all those stories a year ago then about how much money was being spend to house migrants? And I can guarantee you federal money goes towards education, regardless of country of origin and immigration status of the student. Seems like I remember hearing some folks complaining about that use of tax money, too. I mean, ICE and Border Patrol are federal agencies, right? So, migrants being held at an ICE detention facility are, in fact, being housed and fed with federal dollars.
It’s nice to be so glib with other people’s life but just like you support of bail reform you or your family don’t face the consequences.
How do you know this to be the case? Do you know where I live? Do you think I might only support bail reform in places other than where I am?
Also, enough with the bail reform thing already. As you've already proven in this thread with your article, paying bail doesn't stop people from committing additional crimes while awaiting trial. Perhaps you could propose a different solution that WOULD stop people from committing additional crimes while awaiting trial.
And to you things like this are a “challenge” but hey they get some money
Yup, you got me, I think the fact that Federal money is spent on these issues in those states means everything is just peachy keen.
In reality, all I was saying was that Texas and Florida are states that have the resources for this kind of work (the personnel, the facilities, etc.) -- you know, because those are the places where migrants often arrive? -- and Martha's Vineyard doesn't.
Again with the super-credible sources! As we all know, the Daily Mail is the paragon of responsible journalism and not at all a right-wing tabloid.
But I get it, it's an issue. However, if, indeed, these people are seeking asylum, we are obligated by US law to hear their cases. I suppose you could advocate the "remain in Mexico" policy, but then you're just doing the same thing you're accusing me of and saying "hey, as long as they're not sleeping outside in my country..." But I know you wouldn't do that, right? I mean, given the compassion you are demonstrating for those who might end up being trafficked, I know you wouldn't advocate forcing them to remain in a more dangerous country, with the very cartels you're so worried about.
Anyway, I'm out, but feel free to post some more demonstrably incorrect statements and post some more articles from the world's best news sources. I'm sure some other folks would be happy to continue to poke holes in your arguments.
