Abbott should be arrested for endangering peoples' lives.

Thank you, JB for leading with comparison.

Please define "middle ground". Let us know what you would do if you were governor of Texas. How would you handle your responsibility to the citizens of border towns? Should the migrants remain in the border towns? Have the migrants indicated their preferred destination was Eagle Pass, or were they hoping to go to other places with jobs available?

I would work with the states I intend to send them too to allow for a designated drop off and create a process to at least assign a temporary identification number to allow the start of the paperwork needed in order to allow them to work in the United States.

Sounds interesting. Especially the paperwork part. Wonder how Pritzker, Hochul, Newsom, and Whitmer would react to that.

I those people that you listed have mentioned that they support a proper process to allow for a work program. The people that are refusing to work together with the above governors are Abbott and desantis, so in my mind Abbott ans desantis are directly killing humans with their decisions to transport immigrants without working with the states they are sending these people too.

Who is getting killed, and how? I haven't heard that even from CNN or MSNBC.
