Amherst is a little too close to me but feel free to send migrants to Northampton. Let's see how these communities feel when the expense outpaces their virtue signaling: "Abbott and DeSantis are right - transporting illegal aliens to sanctuary cities works."
Governor Abbott and former Arizona Governor Ducey were right to begin the migrant buses going to sanctuary cities. Governor DeSantis has joined in the operation. It’s working. Sanctuary cities virtue-signal that they welcome everyone, regardless of legal status. That is, until buses arrive and the mayors have to walk the walk. Suddenly there is not room in these big cities for forty or so illegal aliens every so often. There are cries for federal funding. There are calls for meetings with Biden and DHS. Welcome to the party, pals.
Extra - Commentary: "Sorry, Busing Illegal Migrants Is a Political Coup"

John McClane: "Now, you listen to me, jerk-off, if you’re not a part of the solution, you’re a part of the problem."
The usual blogs do enjoy their... well, their rightwing jerk-offs. Your "Is a Political Coup" article from Commentary is a year old. That is one slow-moving coup. Last year's attention to the stunt has become background noise.
The performative racist cruelty was supposed to lift Ron DeSantis to the White House. How'd that work out?
By the way, Hot Air is wrong - there aren't "cries for federal funding." There's actual federal funding happening. New York City has already received $104 million of it, and the public assistance bacon won't stop there.
The truth is, fiscal budget principles simply don't mean very much when "conservatives" would rather rub one out to Amherst getting punk'd.
"Well well well, if it isn't the consequences of my actions."
Immigrant workers from across the US raced to Florida to help rebuild after Hurricane Ian devastated the region.
But now, nearly a year later and days after another major hurricane hit, some of those workers say this time they’re staying home.
Saket Soni, whose nonprofit Resilience Force advocates for thousands of disaster response workers, says there’s one clear reason behind the shift: Florida’s new immigration law, which Gov. Ron DeSantis has championed.
In a survey Resilience Force conducted over several months this summer, Soni says more than half of the nonprofit organization’s roughly 2,000 members said they would not travel to Florida to help with hurricane recovery efforts because of the law. And in the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia, he says, many remain concerned.
The group is made up largely of immigrants, many of whom are undocumented, Soni says. And much like migrant workers who follow harvest seasons and travel from farm to farm, they crisscross the US to help clean up and rebuild when disaster strikes. Soni says many of them see the skills they’ve honed over years of responding to major storms as a calling, in addition to a means of supporting their families.
“Sadly,” he says, “you have all of these workers sitting in Houston and in New Orleans, coming to our offices, asking us, is there a chance this law will be repealed? Is there any chance they could go?”
"I'd rather live under increasing climate change siege in a city that torments migrants than live in a sanctuary city," say serious people.
