Naw dawg, Texas cities and border towns have gotten fed funding outside of the covid funds that Abbott used for migration issues. I've been posting long ass articles for the past hour debunking stuff and don't feel like continuing the trend, but I can do it. Some Dem mayors put foots in their mouths but after a year+ of migrants being randomly shipped to places and with increasing frequency, of course they bytching. With most of them coming from Venezuela, thats a federal issue that is being worked out at what feels like snails pace, but none of that should have lead to a border state using tax dollars in a stunt to ship these people all over the place. Texas has ICE centers all over because it is a border state
Receipts
Illinois has none. NY has jails doubling as centers and one processing center
Receipts on NY
Long story short, like Illinois has to deal with cold, tornadoes, and related issues, Texas is a border state that has to deal with migrants, illegals, etc. They have funding and facilities. Anyone who said it wasn't a problem at the border is an idiot, but that's what Texas gets funding for. And there hasn't been a time in history where people didn't migrate, so it can only be slowed, not stopped.
The amount of money and resources Texas has gotten pales in comparison to what they need to deal with this issue. It's not enough.
I'm not mad at them shipping them elsewhere.
