Harris was not a moderate. She said that she would do nothing different from Biden who allowed illegal migrants to flood across the border. Trump made border security a top issue because he knew Americans wanted tighter border security. Ruben Gallego ran as a centrist in purple Arizona and won.
It’s the other way round. Trump repeated again and again and again that the borders were a problem until people believed it and believed it was something important.
That gave him something none substantive to run on without coming up with real policies.
That does not make it reality. There were immigrants, but, IIRC, the Biden Administration was stopping more than any administration before. The “migrant crisis” was made up, but it was useful to Trump and got good rating for news agencies. News agencies get paid for views, not for accuracy.
So, Abbott wasn’t bussing illegal migrants to blue cities. Perhaps, it’s like the book 1984 where Big Brother controls everything and a person doesn’t know what’s real.
That’s not what I said, and you know it. It was only a political issue because it was created to be one. Without the news and Republicans saying it was an issue, 99.9% of people wouldn’t know anything about it. It was manufactured.
For Adams and his big city counterparts, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, there’s much more to the issue than coordinating bus drop-offs.
The three mayors are collectively calling for additional federal support to manage the influx of migrants, calling it a national humanitarian crisis that demands a national solution.
“Our cities are working shoulder-to-shoulder to support newcomers, but it’s time for the federal government to increase work authorization, create a coordinated entry strategy, and provide more federal dollars to ensure cities can manage this crisis and help newcomers thrive,” Johnston said in a joint online statement this week.
The mayors are “going to extreme lengths to avoid fulfilling their self-declared sanctuary city promises,” Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Abbott, told CNN. “Instead of attacking Texas’ efforts to provide relief to our overwhelmed border communities, these Democrat mayors should call on their party leader to finally do his job and secure the border – something he continues refusing to do.”

It was continuously in the news. Don’t you remember Greg Abbott bussing migrants to blue cities?
