The Texas-to-denver immigration

Re: “Denver’s mayor slams Texas governor over migrant buses,” Dec. 28 news story

Instead of scoring political points, Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas could be scoring humanitarian points. He ought to be working with all governors and big-city mayors, be they in red or blue states, to find landing places for migrants who are only trying to make better lives for themselves and their families. Grow a heart, Gov. Abbott, and start treating these people as, well, people. Ship yourself to the Wizard of Oz. Maybe he could find a heart for you.

Hello? The Biden administration is the one who opened the border. Wide open. Did you forget? Then immigrants flowed into Arizona, other southern states and mostly Texas — thousands — hundreds of thousands. Drugs, human trafficking, and illegal immigrants are flowing across the border (I’m sorry but many of the immigrants are illegal by definition of breaking our immigration laws).

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was simply protecting his state, which was overrun, by shipping those out who wanted to go to Chicago, New York, Denver and elsewhere — all to sanctuary states. Now those governors are whining and crying and appealing to President Joe Biden and villainizing Abbott. He’s racist! He’s cruel! He’s reckless! He’s inhumane! Oh, I guess it’s OK if they stay in Texas and overwhelm that state.

Of course Biden blamed the Trump administration for the open border. Of course. That is laughable, at the very least.

Now I ask this sanctuary state of ours: How many are too many for our country?
