I'm Sick of Governors DeSantis and Abbott Playing the Race Card With Undocumented Immigrants. So Let's Do This.

Florida and Texas aren't shy at all about being opposed to virtually any type of reasonable control gun proposals. So let's send Florida and Texas all those convicted of gun crimes once they're out of prison. And send them via Greyhound; it's a more efficent use of taxpayer dollars than flying them or busing them in first-class bus coaches.

After all, it's Red States that are exporting most of the guns used in crimes in Blue States. So let's send them the criminals using those guns.

Chicago offers perhaps the starkest example of trafficking. There are no retail gun dealers within city limits, because Chicago has some of the tightest municipal gun regulations. Yet bringing a gun into Chicago can be as simple as driving less than an hour to a gun show in Indiana, where private sales are not recorded and do not require a background check.

“If you’re in the city of Chicago on the South Side, you may be closer to Indiana than you are to the Magnificent Mile,” said Roseanna Ander, executive director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab, referring to a well-known part of Chicago’s downtown.

And let's pay relocation to any woman being forced to have a child she's not ready tp support. I'm sure they've got social services enough for all Americans.

And yes, DeSantis went for top douchery award by choosing Martha's Vineyard to ship immigrants to. I'm sure he remembers his summers up there and thinks he's just hee-larious. Or maybe he just wants to increase the chances of them learning to read English, 'cause it doesn't happen down here even among natural-born citizens.
