You're viewing a single thread.
Thats $1841.67 per Migrant.
Not counting legal fees incurred by retaliation from the migrants.
so an empathetic government could have actually just handed them all relief checks a la COVID
Or ironically just let them be so they don't cost taxpayers money, something Repugnantcans claim to care about.
I prefer repuglicunts, but yours works too.
If you're going to quote, might as well make it worse:
"By comparison, a bus ticket to New York costs about $215, while a flight costs about $350," he highlighted. "It would have WAY cheaper to just give migrants money for tickets. Abbott's effort not only made it a political stunt, it lined a contractor's pocket."
