why "Racism" needs to be discussed in our schools. Former GOP strategist, Stuart Stevens, is right when the first chapter of his book "It Was All A Lie" has the title "Race, the Original Republican Sin". We've always had the KKK, Skin Heads, Tiki Torchers, etc...and I'm sure they will remain...however, it is the responsibility of all right-minded citizens to vote people who cater to them...like Abbott and DeSantis...out of office...I can tell you that the Democratic Party is highly motivated to make this happen...as well a sizable number of Republicans and Independents...
Where do you stand?

Thank God for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
And way 'til they get started on the whole gender fluidity issue.
The left is losing the humor battle badly.

but hey, if it will get the MAGA crowd to turn out in the Fall, so be it.
Nice way to deflect from the inhumanity that's being perpetrated by Abbott and DeSantis...no way the rational Independents, Republicans and of course, Democrats are going to let that happen.

later...we as a country haven't made nearly enough progress...we could be so much better...and accomplish so much more...if this nonsense would stop...you're not helping.
Thank Abbott and Desantis for that.
Republicans...they just switched parties when "Civil Rights" laws got passed a few years later...and accelerated when Nixon implemented his "Southern Strategy"...you are not helping this country move forward.

This is what you guys wanted. Why should border states and towns be subjected to Democrat's policies. The whole of the country should share this burden.
You voted for it....here you go! You whiners re never happy.
Although some of the youngins might find their way to Rentboy. So that's good right?
was awaiting them in terms of jobs and opportunities for the sole reason of racial hatred and political opportunism...examples of a total lack of compassion or concern for someone else's well-being.....good people don't do such things to others and we have leaders who are definitely NOT good people...that's the fundamental problem.
Truly good people want to help those who are in this country legally...which these people are (not citizens yet, but here legally, nonetheless)...and that involves honesty and cooperation among all agencies...state and federal...Abbott and DeSantis have failed in their duties to AID them...instead they have purposely HARMED them. All they needed to do is call around to other state the s and cooperate in finding suitable destinations for their overflow of asylum seekers, while at the same time communicating honestly with those people about what is happening and what they can expect when they get to those locations...not really that hard...
As for Democrats and Immigration...they are following all laws...and quotas...regarding such immigrants...if you want to disagree with me, back it up with verifiable documentation.
I'm at a loss as to why you don't see what's happening here...

Political benefit is not of the same type of things noted in the definition - namely sexual, forced labor, commercial exploitation and the like. Further you've not established how DeSantis has benefitted.
You. Are. Incorrect.
that both Governors Abbott and DeSantis used taxpayer money to fund the fraudulent coercion of legal immigrants onto busses and planes only to admitted political opposed states and localities for the purpose of making a political 'statement'....i.e. political gain...check out the link...seems to me that a jury could very well find those guys guilty...but that's just my opinion...
btw, did I hear correctly that you are studying to be an attorney?...if so, start using some verifiable references when you state your opinion...it's good practice for you.

And yes, you heard correctly. And that's precisely what I've done. Used statements to back my opinion. Which is why you're getting so pissy. Not only this debate, but the one yesterday.
I win again!
the asylum seekers are here illegally...you know..."Substantive" material and not just your student opinion...iMO you are not off to a great start with your studies.
btw, make yourself a trophy that says "I Win" ;-)...heaven knows you need some kind of affirmation.
I'll get there. You'll always be an asshole.
I win. Again. In more way than one.
Any luck find a proper church for you and Fr. Jenkins? Shame you two are so lost.

fairly and honestly...since they have been officially "Welcomed" into the United States...anything less is being "In-hospitable", and that's not who real Americans are.
I contend they are not (I will not accept reporting by MSNC, CNN and/or Newsweek (so you can save your links). But let's just say....
Is there a rule or statute that stipulates that the receiving state must indeed process all these people? If the courts are at capacity? The holding centers full? Attorneys unable to effectively assure them their due process? They must remain in Texas or Arizona anyway? At the great expense and burden of those states? They cannot be safely and adequately transferred to other jurisdictions with similarly adequate Federal facilities to process all these freedom seekers?
Again if your REAL aim is to truly help, then this should be greeted with great enthusiasm! Show those racist rubes in border states how real Americans get it done. Or go to a website and bitch about how mean those big bad meanie meanies are!
substantive documentation.
As I mentioned just a few minutes ago, the proper course of action is to honestly, and compassionately, communicate with ALL OTHER STATES as well as the federal government to find the optimal destinations for those who are here, again legally. By acting this way, the burden will certainly be diminished in TX and ARI (FLA's involvement looks like pure politicking)...sounds simple enough to me...how about you?
Abbott and DeSantis are definitely NOT trying to help those distressed human beings....they are USING THEM for political GAIN. The Democrats aren't rejecting them...only asking for cooperation...among ALL STATES in this country...for a good cause.
How do you know this? Outside of a Newsweek article that made said claim.
And you didn't address the thrust of my post. You're a better dancing than Fred Astaire! Why are some states assumed to bear this responsibility solely and not Massachusetts, New York, Illinois?
proving them wrong...good practice for what that profession entails.
Oh, and doesn't it make sense for Governors Abbott and DeSantis to enlist the help of EVERY OTHER STATE in lightening their burden?...not just those with a majority of Democratic voters?..it shouldn't take much more evidence to prove that this is all a POLITICAL STUNT.

Nowhere does it say that the illegals are legal.
That's a pretty big matzo ball there Ty. And again, I already noted I would not buy anything CNN reported on this. They are FAR from an unbiased news source.
And those states with democratic voters have overwhelming encouraged illegal immigration by designating "sanctuary cities" within their borders. Doesn't it make sense that DeSantis and Abbott would look to those states/cities first in lightening said burden? That's what I'd do. Send them where they are wanted with folks who can process them. So to answer your question - no it doesn't make sense. Simple.
You must first know who is acting before you can comment on the morality or legality of the act. For you, justice is not blind. It must know color of skin and party affiliation before making a judgement. Frankly, you should be ashamed.
Un-caring and Un-compassionate way?
Most didn't come from Mexico, and they cannot seek asylum in the United States. They are supposed to seek it in the first country in which they arrive.
And the whole "asylum" thing is pretty much a fantasy. Let's assume that some are seeking legitimate asylum from Mexico. What is going on there that would support their case. Do you know of anything? Note that "looking for a job" or even "looking for a better life" is not a legitimate basis for asylum to be granted. Statistically speaking, 99.99% of them are not seeking legitimate asylum. They are trying to use asylum rules to gain entry, then get released, and be here illegally. And, the Dems support that...but not in their own backyards, which is really quite revealing and embarrassing for your side.
DO you deny that the Dems are encouraging the trafficking of humans across Mexico by the cartels? If you do, then your perception of reality is...flawed.
otherwise they'd be BREAKING THE LAW by putting them on busses and planes to different parts of the USA...I can't believe you and others are having such a hard time with this concept....actually, I think you know this, but it REALLY puts a crimp in your narrative and you'll never admit to it...yeah, that's it.
I for one am going to hold your tootsies to the fire that Abbott and DeSantis started...learn to deal with it.
(no message)
do the right thing, they should just have their staffs call every other state and make a spreadsheet of states, counties and cities that make the most sense for the various asylum seeking individuals and families, then arrange dates, and transport details with them, with accommodations, food, medical care, etc. pre-planned...sort of what the Red Cross does...with a true humanitarian attitude.
There should be no need for all of those people to stay in TX, or AZ...or somehow, FLA...just make sure they can easily be contacted and get to their court hearing, which also needs coordination with Immigration Services...just stop using these already distraught immigrants as pawns in their political campaigns.
And therefore you have no issue sending them to a welcoming state.
That was a really long unnecessary walk Tyrone. Jeez!
They claimed asylum once the army of Democrat lawyers got to them. So, they have been forwarded to places that have emoted about how much they are wanted. A very large percentage of them will never attend their asylum hearing.
You know this, but just lie about it because it makes your guy look bad.

the U.S. pending a court hearing...all of that is LEGAL...otherwise Abbott and DeSantis would be breaking the law by knowingly trafficking them...these people have been "Welcomed" into this country because there is reason to believe they will meet the requirements for 'Asylum Status'...further along the path to possible "CITIZENSHIP STATUS"...
Once again...all laws are being followed...there are no "Open Doors" they're running through...not sure why that disappoints you.
(no message)
Certainly not that they are being trafficked.
We're done.
travel about the country pending a court hearing, because there is reason to believe they could qualify for 'Asylum Status'...another step on the road to possible "Citizen Status" and a productive member of our society...maybe even better than many of those on this board.
Let me know if your "Paper Chase" finds any illegality with what's transpired thus far...other than what Abbott and DeSantis are doing (see my 'Ethics' post earlier).

Here's the Google definition...]
----------------
hu·man traf·fick·ing
noun: human trafficking
the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.
----------------
Note that the definition says "Typically"...but not "Only" involving forced labor or sexual exploitation...in this case, Abbott and DeSantis are fraudulently coercing 'legally admitted' immigrants into taking bus and plane rides to only Democratic majority destinations while lying to them about what is awaiting them...all for the "Benefit" of gaining political favor with racist voters who would then elect them to office and all the income and power levers that come with it.
That is an accurate description of what those two are doing..."Trafficking" legal immigrants for political "Benefit".
The proper way of dealing with the large numbers of asylum seekers and other immigrants who meet existing quotas for admittance into the U.S., is to communicate honestly with ALL OTHER STATES to find the best destinations for those LEGALLY admitted immigrants.
Problem: "You quoted a Google definition in the application of your response to Stark but you did not make a connection with Governors Abbott or DeSantis unless you are implying without stating that these migrants are being transported for the purpose of the governors "benefit[ing] from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation."
This string is way, way too long but I just wanted to point out this variance from the definition to your application.
examples are not exclusive by my reading...so Abbott and DeSantis, in addition to the reported "coercion" they exerted to make those people take the bus and plane rides, forced them to do their political bidding as unwilling actors in a scheme to embarrass Democrats...given that those people were only sent to Democratic majority locations, and none to GOP strongholds, that's not a hard to connect string of dots...wouldn't you say?...and all for the purpose of improving their political stock with their base of voters...which leads to more money for them and attendant political power.
Yeah, they "Trafficked" those Asylum Seekers for financial and political gain.
(no message)
noun: human trafficking
the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation.
They were not transported for any of the above-mentioned reasons. In fact, not a single element of the above-noted definition has been met. Further you're assuming facts not in evidence. Namely that the people in question were here legally. Additionally that they were moved under false pretenses for nefarious intent. For politically purposes? Good luck making that charge stick!
Move to dismiss, your Honor. The witness is hysterical!
to and coerced...their reported and quoted statements attest to that...the "Trafficking" definition is not limited to those two purposes...Abbott and DeSantis did indeed "Bus and Fly" those immigrants to only what they considered to be "liberal" destinations, and then highly publicized the actions...what rational person would not conclude it was for "Political Gain"?
You just lie because you want to use them as political pawns. Shame on you and your party for that.
Political gain is a nebulous term that does not stand up to the definition YOU provided.
Nothing whips the white nationalists into a frenzy quite like the idea that brown people who speak a different language are coming into 'Merica.

This MUST be wrong. Because it FEELS wrong. And DeSantis IS A BAD GUY! So HE'S wrong....They're no ILLEGALS....they're asylum seekers!
Then throw in some crap about Trump or white supremacy and call it a day. For law and order and respect the norms and civility and decency...Chris and Ty sure like to throw it over board when politically expedient!
