    “Sanctuary Cities” as the US American media reports them, do not exist. They’re a boogeyman invented to sell far-right propaganda.

    As far as what happened to the migrants that were lied to, kidnapped, and sent across the country against their will; once they arrived at their destination, they were given food, water, shelter, adequate clothing, and transportation to wherever they wanted. It disrupted absolutely nothing in the cities where they arrived.

    Those people were an unwilling prop for a publicity stunt that accomplished nothing other than pushing a narrative to cult members.

    Reply notifications are off. I’ll be hearing no arguments to the contrary. I don’t need to hear them for the same reason I don’t need to hear anyone explain why 2+2=5.

      Well the busing did succeed at one thing, which is demonstrating that Adams was a shitty human with no actual values and showed that democratic governors and mayors often view migrants as a net negative even though they’re not. It was a great example of the problem with liberal politics, more obsessed with playing a game than caring for people and standing up for them. Even though they said stuff like they’re using them as pawns (true), the real response should have been thank you for sending us statistically better law abiders and hard workers. We will make sure they want to stay because them leaving yiur shithole state makes yours worse and ours better.
