There’s a “fix” for Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis’ mental health issues: quickly grant all those asylum seekers they have been bussing or flying out legal status—and then ship them back to Texas or Florida where they can't touch them

 

After Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott tag-teamed to fly out asylum seekers to Martha’s Vineyard some time ago, now at least Abbott made an idiot of himself again by bussing out over a hundred asylum seekers to Washington DC and dropping them off in front of VP Kamala Harris’ residence in freezing temperatures. Abbott claimed that Texas didn’t have enough shelter for them, and that it was “cold” in Texas—as if he didn’t know it was colder in DC.

Ok, let’s just stop with the inhuman behavior, and that goes for those who “cheer” this kind of thing. The Supreme Court seems on the verge of illegally enshrining a so-called “health” rule Title 42 regardless if it is required at a time when the vast majority of people think that there is no longer a “health crisis” they need to concern themselves with; but out of pure partisan politics the court is expected to continue to apply the rule to migrants as if they are all diseased vermin, and will “mandate” the removal of even asylum seekers, from the country, while hypocritically not applying the rule to non-Hispanics. That's called "racism."

But what to do for asylum seekers already in the country waiting to be processed? As noted, unlike asylum seekers from outside of Latin American whose asylum requests are approved at 80 percent, Latin Americans are only approved an average of 25 percent.  That can be “fixed,” at least in a way that might discomfit some people: because Abbott and DeSantis want to play games with people’s lives, there is a way to stop them from doing this, or at least make them think twice about it if in fact what happens isn’t exactly what they had “planned.”

That would be granting those asylum seekers like the ones they shipped to Harris’ residence immediate legal status. Then just bus them back to Texas or Florida, where the respective governors no longer have the authority to abuse both their power and the civil rights of the now legal residents. So go ahead, do it again; you don’t want any of them here, and now you can’t do anything about it. All things considered, it isn’t just the human thing to do, but the “right” thing to do.
