Surprising no one:
There’s now a possibility being floated that Denver City & County employees will have 10 unpaid days this year to pay for the refugees.
Where did you hear this?
Contacts I have in the bureaucracy.
Right now it’s a proposal among the higher-ups but even the fact that they are discussing cutting out 10 days of pay of all of the workers means the budget is in oh-shit shape
So… unsubstantiated rumors.
Are you upset that Republicans are blocking efforts to aliviate this problem for purely political reasons?
I’ve heard that they are planning on giving all of these refugees brand new Cadillacs! People are saying!
If I remember correctly …
Someone here questioned me when I talked about Mayor Johnston’s upcoming budget and my contacts nailed it exactly.
Yes and I am upset at Biden for doing absolutely nothing about Abbott moving migrants around. I know almost everyone here is an apologist for Biden but let’s be honest, if the President of the United States is powerless to stop a state governor from effectively determining immigration policy then he’s a weak-ass President.
A terse “yes” about Republicans deliberately prolonging the problem, followed by a paragraph ignoring what the Republicans are doing(blocking Biden’s efforts) and claiming that Biden isn’t doing anything.
Republicans are blocking efforts that Biden isn’t making?
Was there a point in there somewhere or just a complaint that someone on this Board has not bought into the “Everything Biden does is right. Everything Republicans do is evil” Flavor Ade that you think we should all drink?
I answered your question and added a point of my own. Next time you want me to write an essay to answer your question with everything you want to hear, put the directions in your post.
Not stated, not even implied, and non responsive to what I actually said.
What Biden can and cannot legally do has already been covered in this thread, and the so-called “solutions” you have put forward would only give Republicans political fodder…but I suspect you already know that.
Honestly, I have no clue what you are complaining about
I answered your question.
If you have a specific way we are required to answer your questions then you should give us the directions.
And I noticed you never answered my point that my contacts are 1 for 1 on “predicting” what Denver will do. Nevermind. You and I can revisit your doubts when my contacts are shown to be correct.
Please explain exactly what Biden can do legally about Abbott’s political stunt. Not “do an executive order”.
Specific actions that Biden can directly take to to stop this.
Bonus points if these actions do not play right into the MAGAts hands and deliver the election to Trump.
Btw, I somehow missed your post where you told us what Federal land(s) you would have the immigrants sent to. Would you mind linking to it?
-
Go to court to try to get an injunction preventing Abbott from moving migrants interstate under the Supremacy Clause re: immigration policy. Even if it fails it shows the attempt.
-
Provide housing on Federal lands while migrants are waiting for their hearings. And no, I am not saying a tent in Yellowstone during winter as someone in this thread claimed I implied.
Honest question: Does the budget go so specific as to say Texas gets $X for helping migrants or is just a general INS gets $Y to house migrants?
That would be a start.
What housing on what Federal land?
This is a really amusing quote from someone who thinks Biden can just wave his hands and stop Greg Abbott from renting buses and lying to people. There’s no constitutional authority or executive authority for this. We all know perfectly well if he simply “did something” then your faction would be the first ones to scream “Biden is trampling all over the Constitution, this abuse of power must be stopped.”
How many days are required for you to admit this is hysterical water-cooler gossip? Should we wait 10 days, 30 days, indefinite days as long as it takes?
I’m not seeing any housing in your first example, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that getting permission to put such housing on Federally protected land would be almost impossible.
Reminder (yet again): A President is not a king or an emperor.
As for your second suggestion, how many of those military installations are intact and ready to be used for the purpose you suggest?
BIDEN IS FIGHTING our good AMERICAN people while supporting the illegals! And he FAILED!
Biden is stealing YOUR LAND and giving it away to illegals!
(Also, what land? How does the physical housing materialize? Temporary camps?
Biden is setting up concentration camps!!!1!
