Comment on New York City is paying for migrants to leave, and Illinois is one of the top destinations

I really don’t like how migrants are being treated like the ball in a shell game, but at long as the border is as open as it is and resources are as scarce as they are, what else can be done?
Besides, these cities have called themselves “sanctuary cities” for years. They should either own up to that title and embrace their new residents, or stop calling themselves that and start cooperating with ICE.
Either way, we need to tighten up the border. Inviting people to America and then shuffling them around indefinitely like this benefits literally nobody. That goes double with the fact that we already have millions of homeless who aren’t receiving the same level of assistance that the migrants are. That’s not an indictment of the migrants, but of the government.
