    And I thought only the evil Governor Abbott was moving migrants because there's no more room!

    https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-top-destination-migrants-leave-new-york/600334570/


    Minnesota has emerged as a top destination for migrants accepting free plane tickets to leave New York City, as homeless shelters there strain to house a record surge of asylum-seekers.

    Data released by the city shows that over roughly the past two years, 1,177 migrants have taken tickets to Minnesota — the fifth most popular destination. Illinois ranked first as a destination for 2,369 migrants, followed by other cities in New York state, and Texas and Florida.

    More than 168,500 asylum-seekers have arrived in New York City over the past 20 months, after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses of migrants there and to other Democratic-led cities from the southern border.

    As other migrants followed on their own, the city faced a multibillion-dollar crisis as it sought to comply with a court-ordered "right to shelter" law and its hotels and homeless shelters overflowed with newcomers. Mayor Eric Adams began a program to offer one-way tickets to migrants who vacated city shelters at the end of a new 30-day limit for individuals and 60-day limit for families. Newsweek first reported the destination numbers this month. Other top states include Colorado, Georgia and California.


    Note the weaseley statement:

    "More than 168,500 asylum-seekers have arrived in New York City over the past 20 months, after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses of migrants there and to other Democratic-led cities from the southern border."

    Of that 168K, how many were sent by Abbott?

    Strangely, the story doesn't say.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      You know the great thing about Rhode Island?

      Nobody's fucking heard of it.

      Reports indicate we've had 50 migrants arrive in 3 months. They probably thought it was an island like one of those nice ones. Boy, I bet they're pissed.

      I was only joking
