By far the best thing Republicans have done to expose any Liberal Democrats these days. Preach your socialists values onto the people but not practice it in your backyard. And I see a lot of people in this thread willing to eat up this shit. It's why grifters like AOC exists.
Still remember seeing some brain dead post in this forum(probably a different thread) about illegal immigrants having a right to enter and stay in this country and that people like me who entered legally(waited 10 years to get in here) should not complain.
Bonus points since people here will still say Trump's a Xenophobe despite doing the right thing by actually enforcing border security.

Let me ask a question, did you wait 10 years to be a citizen, or did you wait 10 years before coming to America or did you live here for 10 years before you got papers for permanent resident. Each situation is unique in itself.
Here is my respond to this. First, the GOP never notified any city or state of their intentions, they dropped people off and then left without any assistance. That is actually not showing anything as I could take a bum off the street and drop them off at any one of the GOP homes and see how much their Christian values would come into play.
Instead, the reason why it's a political stunt than anything else is because just dropping people off without any assistance or notification that they are arriving means state and local governments have to do emergency support out of the blue without having a chance to gather resources to deal with an influx of people. Texas actually get federal aid money to deal with Asylum seekers and it would be absolutely great if they want to ship Asylum seekers to other states, that money should also go as well.
If they really want to not appear as a political stunt would be to actually have notified state and city governments of their intentions including how many people are coming and where so that each state and city could prepare to receive those asylum seekers and assist them with their needs. Instead, they went the easy route which is to deceive people into believing there is aid ready when they did nothing to prepare such a situation, dump the people in the city then left them to fend for themselves, knowing this will make the Trump faithful happy but did it really make Republicans believe this stunt owned the libs. The GOP has a strong Christian base and while this might appeal to the more nationalistic Christians, it's very much isn't hitting home to traditional Christians.
The thing is you already have the Trump base, does this move actually get you independents and traditional Christians, I guess we will find out.
