Migrants load a bus to a refugee center in Chicago last month. Readers accuse Govs. Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott of playing politics with asylum-seekers.Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Ron DeSantis of Florida put migrants on flights and buses. Instead of looking for a solution to the immigration problem, they opted to play political checkers.
Should civic leaders of nonborder states provide havens for migrants to help relieve the stress on border towns? Absolutely. And many of the residents of New York City, Washington, D.C., and Martha’s Vineyard have stepped up, providing housing, food and legal help. But dropping migrants into faraway states, unannounced, is cruel to people who have already fled despotism, violence and collapsing economies.
Abbott has displayed a disgusting lack of empathy. He has demonstrated repeatedly that the only thing he cares about is the next election.The truly sad thing about the immigration mess right now is that it could be fixed quickly if Democrats and Republicans didn’t try to hold to their “all-or-nothing” positions to placate their respective bases.
This country, with its aging population, needs immigrants. Largely, they are the ones who pick the fruit, bone the chicken, build the houses, and make the beds and clean the toilets of hotels. They take these jobs because few of our citizens want them. By transporting immigrants to friendlier locales, Govs. Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis reveal themselves to be human traffickers. The “coyotes” do it for monetary gain; Abbott and DeSantis do it for political gain.An intriguing thought: If President Joe Biden were to offer him a pardon, would Donald Trump accept it?
