If they cant sustain it what makes them think a southern state has to .

We cant even handle our own citizens with social services. How in the hell is America going to help hundreds of thousands more?

In the beginning, there were only 60 thousand. New Yorkers complained about the crisis, but it was just the tip of the iceberg.

"To provide much-needed relief to our overrun border communities, Texas began busing migrants to sanctuary cities such as your 'Welcoming City Chicago', along with Washington, D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia, with more to come. Until Biden secures the border to stop the inflow of mass migration, Texas will continue this necessary program, " Abbott wrote.

We need to send some more to martha's vineyard. They said they don't have the facilities but they need to get them so they can do their part In supporting the migrants. They sure got the money.

That's been my concern; what are they going to do, during the day? People of any culture or nationality; if they don't have something productive to do, then what? You have large numbers of young men ( for the most part) who won't be working, who won't be caring for families. Our experiences with our own young men; in this country; shows what happens; crime and lawlessness, drug abuse, suicide, alcoholism. What happens when all of these people realize that the American Dream isn't just going to begin as soon as they arrrive? Don't you think they'll be angry?

It's okay when someone else has to pay for your mistakes so man up pay your bills

I can not applaud transporting and distributing people further in our country under the guise of protecting border states by sending them to sanctuary cities. If any Republican or democrat cared they would stop what is going on at the border and secure it and immediately deport. So as far as I am concerned this is being allowed and coordinated by both parties.

What about the language barrier? I have tried to speak with a foreigner and they have replied, " don't speak English. "

Send about ten thousand to Martha’s Vineyards. They have now had plenty of time to prepare shelters and facilities for this.
