Reply to comment by psufan34 in Gov. Greg Abbott expands Texas’ migrant busing plan to Philadelphia by audiomuse1

Is it though? Or is it just democracy. The people of Texas have said they don’t want to take care of a large immigrant population. The people of Philadelphia have said they do.

Isn’t everyone just getting what they want?

Texas is receiveing Federal aid to support border towns impacted by undocumented immigrants. If they are moving these people off their plate, they should return the funding.

Fair enough. They just get fed money for shipping then Philly gets the rest. Sounds like everyone would be happy.

I thought they wanted a better life in America? And shouldn’t they get a better life in a more immigrant friendly state?

Why don't they send back the federal funding they get for that purpose then?
