One Democratic strategist said that the Texas governor "shouldn't be sued, he should be prosecuted" over his treatment of migrants.

    I don’t understand why the federal government allows these buses (or chartered planes, or whatever) to continue. Since it involves crossing state borders, don’t the feds have jurisdiction?

    I don’t know what the passengers were told in this instance, but in other cases, people were lied to. They agreed to go because were told they would be getting jobs and homes. I don’t think they would have voluntarily gone if they were told the truth - “we’re going to dump you somewhere as a political stunt. We’re not giving them any prior notice, so it’s anyone’s guess as to how you and your family will be taken care of. We don’t care, because to us, you’re not people. You’re just tools we’ll use to own the libs.”

    When some creep lures a kid into a van with the promise of candy, and then drives them halfway across the country, we call it kidnapping. Why hasn’t anyone been prosecuted?

      IIRC it’s being worked on. I think they’re working on builing a case.

    A child died while he was trafficking immigrants. Why is he not in a federal prison?

      Enough republicans support this and many republicans coming from out of state are keeping Texas red.

    A man whose actions kill children took actions that killed a child. Pretty much the face of the GOP right here.

    I’m pretty sure he won’t be walking anywhere any time soon.
