Busing

LIKE REAL SMART ASSES, Republican governors in Florida, Texas, and Arizona have invented a method of abregating and delegating their responsibilities to other states. When undocumented, illegal immigrants enter the United States illegally, they simply herd them aboard buses and send them rolling up north, to places like Massachusetts and New York. Upon their arrival, the desperate Latin Americans are invariably exhausted, thirsty and hungry. They are usually dead broke, having been provided nothing, not even a few dollars, bottled water, or food, to sustain them. When they arrive in northern "liberal democratic" states, they receive these things, plus temporary housing. Obviously, the Republican governed states could merely deport the refugees, return them to the border, remove them from the country. But where would be the fun in that? How would deportation attract attention, or rub progressive noses in their onw ideology of inclusion and welcoming? Decent people do not use human beings a political pawns. Intelligent people understand that human beings are the greatst source of prosperity, and that the children and grand children of immigrants, whether their parents arrived legally or not, become productive, tax paying citizens. Verifiably, the governors of these "red" states are self proclaimed Christians. Welcome the stranger. Do unto others. Sell whatsoever thou hast, and give unto the poor. What is lacking on the United States-Mexican border is organization. One simple solution would be to repeal the law of 1877 which prohibits using the U.S. military as a police force, and station the U.S. military all along the border, with the stipulation that it be used only as a force for national defense and as a means of immigrant organization. A military organization can be a welcoming and assistance giving entity. The Republican party has become an extremist, fascist, terrorist organization, shockingly, especially regarding the issue of illegal immigration. If in doubt, consider that more than seventy percent of registered Republicans approve of the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection as having been justified by circumstances. The idiotic "replacement theory" has engulfed the party, according to which a deliberate, systematic attempt is ongoing by progressive America to bring in dark skinned people, and to replace white, conservative Christian America with them. Any possible motive for this alleged conspiracy has never been articulated. This conspiracy theory is, of cousre, like all conspiracy theories emanating from the far right, is sheer lunacy. The right wing, like Donald Trump, would prefer that people immigrate to America from, oh, say, Norway, as Trump explicitly stated. Trump characterized black African nations as "shit hole countries". More than eighty percent of conservative evangelical Christians Americans support Trump, despite Trump's attempt to steal his reelection and overthrow the government, and the same number support the cruel, perverted actions of Governors Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott. Our best hope is that somehow, some way evangelical America abandons its barbaric, cruel religious beliefs, and chooses to follow the teachings of Jesus.
