    If this was part of a program to actually help people that would be great. But one bus full of people is a publicity stunt for the truly ignorant masses. I have said this before and I’ll say it again, the conservative right are Republicans in name only, none of the values except the convenient ones.

      Who represents the “real” conservatives/Republicans? It would seem any state with Republican control is aiming for similar anti-immigration policies. If everyone is doing it, then it becomes the standard. If nobody from the party can speak out against it, it becomes the standard. When the conservative majority Supreme Court instills conservative policy despite public opposition, it becomes the standard.

      How would shipping immigrants across state borders unannounced ever be a way to help people? And it has been many buses, are we forgetting the last few years of Florida sending people to progressive states? It might be publicity stunts, but hundreds of people getting shipped around the country based on false information and left sitting out to dry only says “conservatives think immigrants are less than human and can be shipped around like cattle”
