J.B.

I agree with pretty much all you wrote. But, I have some further ideas. I think DeSatins and Abuttholes shipping of immigrants out of state may have a purpose. All of the border states baar a cost for the needs of these immigrants. Healthcare, housing, etc. None of it shared by other states. By shipping immigrants to these states they are forced to share in the cost of supporting them, as well they should. I'm sorry for the immigrants but, all of us should be responsible for their care not just the border states.

YEA for LIV golf. Top PGA players have been jumping ship for more money from the Saudis and why not?

Same thing about blood diamonds. Look deeper and you'll see all the detractors are full of shit. Were talking here about athletes wanting more money for their performance. And the PGA wants to find any reason to cry foul. Except they're getting a big pay out (hush money) as well. They'll probably loose their 501-C3 staus which will sting, but with the extra cash they might raise purses and reinstate players that jumped ship.

Hey J.B. thanks for tweaking my nose and getting me to dig into the facts.

I think if the state governments got together and set up an interstate compact to share the costs, that would be great. Immigrants could be informed of options and what, if anything awaited on the other end. Sharing this burden is a great idea. But just scooping up innocent people, unawares of what is about to happen, and dropping them in a state because its leadership is opposite of Texas, I find unconscionable. Tell them the truth that there is a church that will help them in Sacramento, if they want to go there and take the chance. And California can share transportation costs with Texas. It's an idea that could work but will never happen because Greg Abbott would see it as facilitating immigration. He only wants pawns to make his political points.
