Handouts
 

They came looking for handouts, let them have them is NY’s motto. Hey, that’s almost a quarter million per couple every year. You could buy 5 houses in rural NY for that.

Texas is not a sanctuary state. NYC is a sanctuary city. Sanctimonious sanctuary cites deserve all of the illegals so they might earn their award for years of virtue signaling.

I think a lot of politicians cater to special segments of the population in order to garner votes to stay in their financialy rewarding, cushy positions. And that is, unfortunately to the detriment of hardworking citizen taxpayers, and citizens with bonafide needs!

My understanding is that they are trying to expedite work visas so these people can work.

Sorry for Texas
 

Poor Texas has had all those people forced on them by the government and almost no financial support; all caused by the poor governing choices made in Washington. You can’t blame them for trying to get everyone to share the burden.

Why are they being allowed to enter the country? Cheap labor.

That is one reason, but it is not the only reason!

They could send them to states where there is a lot of room, and a lot of need for people who are looking for work. Like South Dakota and Nebraska. Instead, they've sent people to states that pay the highest taxes - a large chunk of which goes to the states that aren't willing to foot the bill for their own state's expenses.

Folks in places like Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky - hope they remember this when New York says "y'know what - we're now a POOR state which means WE get the money, instead of giving it to you. Find your subsidies elsewhere."
