Subject: Re: Get Out, We're Closed
All Abbott is doing is shipping them elsewhere in the US to make a political point. Why doesn't he just ship them back home or back to Mexico at least? He might get Fed help/cash for that.

Dope also pointed out that it may be an attempt to share the pain with non-border states. On the surface it makes sense, but then why not bus them to PA or OH or OR, to "awaken" legislators from those states?

But I don't think Abbott can send them back. I suspect that would be a violation of federal law, since only the feds can deport (to my knowledge; IANAL).
