The California governor’s letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland says it is “unconscionable to use people as political props”

    Question is, why isn’t the DOJ already doing this? Or are they?

    Reminder that states like Florida and Texas receive literally hundreds of millions of dollars from the Federal government to secure borders and only a tiny percentage of it is applied.

    Their governors want immigrants in their states so

    1. Their business owning buddies/donors can hire them to pay under minimum wage.

    2. They can rile up their base and blame the democrats.

    DOJ’s not doing anything. The governors or whoever is doing this are committing a crime by transporting illegals across state line.

    This is so on-brand for Republicans, I’m surprised there wasn’t a “/s” included on the letter.

    Veterans? New citizens? More veterans? Teachers? Even more veterans?

    All groups that have been reduced to mindless virtue signals by gatekeeping Conservatives who have zero intention of doing anything to actually help any of these groups.

    Red voters don’t care that this behavior is morally indefensible and monstrous on its face. They don’t care that the founder of their own religion would have been aghast at how casually evil his follows have become.

    Seriously. If the historical Jesus knew what his religious revival would lead to, the genocides and wars, he would have made his own cross on his first day of carpentry school.
