Busing Blues

I hate to see immigrants used as pawns, driven in buses, dropped on people’s lawns. It seems so easy to pontificate, but sh*t gets real with people at your gate. I feel for Texas and the border states; I feel for those who get in line and wait. I feel for refugees driven by force. For sanctuary towns, I’ve less remorse. Easy to sip tea on the ivy’d green and theorize on problems, sight unseen. So Abbot and DeSantis brought it home; it’s time the east coast learns this on their own. The policy must go from open, wide, to limiting the numbers let inside. True, immigrants have made our nation great, but now, both sides use them to fuel more hate.

Good analysis, Jeff. The whole thing is a friggin' shame, ain't it?! But Abbot and DeSantis are playing the sanctuary cities for the fools they are. Careful what you wish for, as they say!

Jeff your clever observation is so obvious to realize. You wonder why others do not see what is so clear and obvious. Loved how you referenced the well to do with no clue. A clever reflection to include. The ending tied everything together with the outcome wonderfully stated. This one is a favorite Jeff. Your format in relating this message was so impressive to see. I hope this gets recognized for the truth it sends. No matter which side your on Politically it is a truth you can't argue.

True Ironically A house of cards divided will teeter on for a while longer.By promulgating hate less chance of people rising up as a whole.I don't have a dog in this race for as to quote Mark Twain if the vote had any real power it would never have been allowed.That's just me.Each one has to decide for themselves what is relevant .Daniel 2:44
