“[Governor Abbott (R-Texas) has shown] blatant disregard for the sanctity of human lives.”
These were the words of one Philadelphia official responding to the ongoing stunt perpetuated by three governors: busing migrants from Texas, Arizona and Florida to surprise locations in the northeast, an antic that serves only to rally the MAGA base while stomping on the basic human rights of the migrants.
The governors defend their stunt by citing the myth that we will solve the immigration problem by securing our borders. No wall or any other form of security can keep out desperate people who know they can find a job here. As long as there are jobs for them, they will find a way to come.
Governor Abbott (R-Texas), Governor Ducey (R-Arizona) and Governor DeSantis (R-Florida), are professed Christians. It is beyond ironic that on the day Christians everywhere commemorate the birth of Christ, whose mother was turned away from the inns of Bethlehem and found refuge in a lowly stable, these Christian governors were turning away desperate people.
This past Christmas Eve (2022), over 100 migrants, including children without adequate clothes for the weather, were denied refuge in the “inns” of Texas. And instead of a stable, Texas governor Abbott bused them almost 1,500 miles to abandon them on a hard, dark, isolated Pennsylvania street on the coldest night on record.
