Nothings being done except drawing up articles of impeachment for Mayjorkis (sp?).
Well that's not true. The buses from Texas keep coming here to NY so something is still being done.
Which is pretty fucking inhumane, no?
I would hope we can agree on that.
What if they want to be bussed here? Does that change your mind?
What if NY, MA, VT, DC, etc. bussed them to small towns in red states like SC, AL, MS, AR, OK, IA, TN, IN or dropped them off in small, rural towns in TX in the middle of the night with no advance warning? Or outside the gates of Mar-I-Lieo? Does that change your mind?
Whataboutisms...
Answer my question first.
How do you know if the migrants are asked where they want to go? I’m guessing they may or not be told where they’re going or being sent. Do you think they all say, “I want a bus to NYC, please?”
I think they go by luck of the draw where Abbott and Costello tells the bus company where to go. Just added cruelty.
Now, what about it Eric Adams just bussed them to podunk red state small towns or dropped Them off at huge evangelical churches on a Sunday in red states, so we could witness the Christian compassion so prevalent. Would that change your mind?
I've posted and discussed this topic w you before. Articles I've posted actually mention the migrants wanting to come here. That is when Adams started his campaign to advocate them not to come to NYC and the flyers started to be passed out along the border a few months ago.
If Adams does that we can discuss it. Nice take though.
Do you think it’s a preconceived notion for the migrants to think of NYC as the “land of opportunity” or that perhaps they have family or friends who preceded them, and thus a support network in place? I’m not sure why you have difficulty, seemingly, understanding why migrants would want to land in NYC, Statue of Liberty notwithstanding? Seems Abbott and Costello is lashing out by shipping them to dem cities thinking he’s doing something about immigration and hoping those cities will fall. Like Seattle.
Did you ever find out how those migrants were able to procure scooters and cell phones?
You argued for them being put on a bus before to come here now you are ok with it? Please choose a different topic, thanks.
And yes I did.
And how do they procure cell phones and scooters?
I don’t have an issue with migrants. I have an issue with how the “richest and most powerful nation in world history” and a majority of its population considers and treats them, particularly with the way “Christian foundation” gets tossed around. Boo!
They have an internal loan program. They can purchase scooters with loans from others but can't get them registered, hence the police crackdown on unregistered scooters.
Same goes w the phones. To do deliveries the phones they are given will not allow them to download the app so they borrow someone's phone to make the deliveries.
Now I didn't ask if they were being sharked or not.
My issue is that the influx is unsustainable. We aren't designed to take, as a nation, the amount of people in such a short time.
What if repubs agreed and supported Brandon’s immigration funding request? Would the nation be able to handle it?

I'll agree w whatever your answer is.
Because you don’t know what the impact of Brandon’s funding request would mean for “controlling the border.” Just like you don’t know what the ramifications of closing the border would be. It’s easier to say, “nothing is being done,” look around where you live and work and think what you see is how it is everywhere in ‘Murica and then blame the Brandon Crime Family, do I have that right?
Abbott & Costello and Deathsantis’ approach is really stemming the tide, just like POOTWH’s wall that Mexico paid for.

WASHINGTON — A deal on changes to immigration policy remained elusive on Tuesday for top U.S. Senate negotiators.
Those leading the talks — Sens. James Lankford, Republican of
Oklahoma, Chris Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut and Kyrsten Sinema,
independent of Arizona — have worked for weeks to strike a deal between
the White House and Senate Republicans on immigration policy changes at
the U.S. Southern border.
Congress was on a break for the holidays but returned this week.
“Everybody’s still at the table talking, so that’s a good thing,”
Lankford said, adding that he’s hoping there can be bill text later this
week.
Democratic Senate Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said that negotiations on an immigration deal have made progress.
“We’re going to be persistent,” Schumer said. “We’re closer today to an agreement than we have ever been.”
For the past month, the Biden administration has been negotiating
with that group of bipartisan senators to strike a deal that would
tighten immigration restrictions in exchange for passage of a more than
$100 billion in emergency supplemental aid for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan
and U.S. border security.
“There needs to be a strong border provision (as) part of (the
supplemental),” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said
during a Tuesday press conference.

Mexico demands from the US to help w the border fiasco...
In a press conference on Friday, López Obrador called on the U.S. to approve a plan that would deploy $20 billion to Latin American and Caribbean countries, suspend the U.S. blockade of Cuba, remove all sanctions against Venezuela and grant at least 10 million Hispanics living in the U.S. the right to remain and work legally.
This gets crickets...

So in NYC, they've moved students at Madison High School to remote learning so that they can house 1,900 migrants at the school. They have to protect them from the high winds and rain at the tent shelter they were at. No plans on housing the 48,000 homeless New Yorkers. But the migrants are being taken care of.

I know that's wrong. We house like 60,000 homeless on average.
What has been happening is schools have been used repeatedly and parents get pissed and rightfully so.
I've also mentioned that Floyd Bennett field was a mistake to put them. What I initially thought was they'd use the airplane hangars there but they didn't. They set up one of those temp big house tents for the migrants. Well the high winds we have had here aren't ideal for the winds so they had to move them to the schools.
You'd have deaths if they didn't so I understand why they moved them.
I would imagine the city building new "projects" soon.
List of most powerful and weakest passports highlights global disparities
A ranking of the world’s most powerful passports released this week shows that the global mobility gap is “wider than ever,” Henley & Partners, the firm behind the list, said in a news release. Passports from the countries topping the list, largely wealthy nations in Europe, have access to 190-plus destinations visa-free, while countries at the bottom, typically low-income countries in the Global South, have access to as few as 28, according to the rankings.
The list, based on data from the International Air Transport Association, highlights the realities of passport privilege: For some, a passport is a key to the world, while for others, it’s a lock on it. Here are the rankings.
The most powerful passports
Smooth, visa-free travel essentially means carrying a European passport or being from one of a handful of high-income Asian countries, according to the rankings. Four E.U. member states — France, Germany, Italy, and Spain — moved to the top of the list this year, joining Japan and Singapore, economic powerhouses that have dominated global passport rankings over the past five years. The United States, which topped the list a decade ago, held its place at seventh, tied with Canada and Hungary.
Trevor Williams, former chief economist at Lloyds Bank, said in a statement that the “overarching narrative that links greater economic performance with visa-free access” is “once again powerfully highlighted” by the latest report.
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore and Spain: visa-free entry to 194 destinations.
Finland, South Korea and Sweden: visa-free entry to 193 destinations.
Austria, Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands: visa-free entry to 192 destinations.
Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal and the United Kingdom: visa-free entry to 191 destinations.
Greece, Malta and Switzerland: visa-free entry to 190 destinations.
The least powerful passports
Travel restrictions have decreased globally, with the average number of destinations travelers can visit visa-free nearly doubling since 2006, according to Henley & Partners, which advises wealthy people on residence and citizenship by investment. But not all countries have benefited from this increased access, and inequality between the wealthy and poorer countries has widened.|
On the newly released list, of five countries at the bottom, four are also among the top 10 most impacted by terrorism, according to the Global Terrorism Index, and all have a recent history of armed conflict.
Dutch professors Henk van Houtum and Annelies van Uden liken visas to “paper prisons” in a 2021 paper, writing that “affluent countries are excluding those who are seen as an economic or security risk, notably the global poor.” Such policies allow for what they call “a global aristocracy principally determined by birth” to lock in “a global underclass, and from afar.”
Afghanistan: visa-free entry to 28 destinations.
Syria: visa-free entry to 29 destinations.
Iraq: visa-free entry to 31 destinations.
Pakistan: visa-free entry to 34 destinations.
Yemen: visa-free entry to 35 destinations.
The passports with the most dramatic shifts
Changes in passport mobility happen when countries add or remove visa requirements for travelers of other nationalities. Canada, for instance, opened visa-free travel to 13 new countries last year, while the United Kingdom announced it would impose visa requirements on Hondurans in response to an uptick in asylum applications at the border.
The United Arab Emirates has seen the greatest shift in power in the past decade, jumping from 55th to 11th, by adding a “impressive” 106 destinations to the visa-free score, Henley & Partners said. China and Ukraine also saw significant shifts, both gaining 21 destinations for visa-free entry over the past 10 years.
