“Temporary safety net site."
“We really don’t have a choice.”
Why do you think they chose this particular community center to put these so-called “migrants?”
Do you believe elected officials when they suggest this facility will return back to a recreational center in June?
How would you feel about having one of these "temporary safety net sites" established in your community?

We may as well be realistic about just exactly what it is, that any American community is being asked to have going on in their back yard.
If this mass surge of humanity, driven like livestock for delivery to the American borders by forces and factions unnamed, every one of them in debt up to their eyeballs to outlaw actors to cover the costs of their journey, most of them destined to futures of (at best) indentured servitude at the hands of labor-pool racketeers and with scant prospect of ever paying off their debt, can be accurately described as something other than twenty-first century human chattel SLAVERY being carried out in plain sight and under color of law, I'd be interested in hearing what else we're supposed to call it.
What really stumps me is why anyone in the American public sector is so motivated to be complicit in this sustained human tragedy. What precisely do they stand to gain, for themselves?
Given that the Russian and Belarusian regimes have been implementing this precise tactic, by overwhelming the border-defense resources of Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and most recently Finland, with mass waves of undocumented migrants not originating from their own countries, for several years now, it may come as no surprise that the Putin-apologist American right shows no interest in discovering where all these people are actually coming from, financed by whom, and with what large-scale geostrategic motives directing whoever is sending them by the hundreds of thousands to the borders of the USA.
But this particular duck does look and quack an awful lot like...
Just another battle in the invasion of Ukraine, mayhap?
Curious, how easy it had been to tie the future of American aid for the Kyiv-state war effort, to the future of American security at the southern border, as a GOP-sponsored political ultimatum, and one which currently stands to benefit neither dilemma.
Who benefits from that?
