Gotta keep all those illegal aliens/migrants out of LA and NE Democrat voting sanctuary areas
Biden administration considers forcing migrant families to remain in Texas
The Biden administration is considering forcing some migrant families who enter the country without authorization to remain near the border in Texas while awaiting asylum screening, effectively limiting their ability to travel within the United States, three U.S. officials told The Times.
Administration officials have been considering the idea as a way to stem recent increases in the numbers of migrant families crossing the southern border, which reportedly reached an all-time high last month. Supporters of the remain-in-Texas idea, which has yet to be finalized, hope that it would help the administration advance its goals of quickly deporting families who fail initial asylum screenings and deterring other families from crossing in the first place.
Oh, please. We all know this is to keep them away from the sanctuary areas. If he institutes this you can bet he’ll fly them to areas away from the people who vote for Democrats
The Biden plan would force certain migrant families to remain in Texas — or possibly other border states — by tracking their location through GPS monitoring devices, such as ankle bracelets, according to the three officials, who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. The families would be put through an asylum screening process to determine whether they could stay in the U.S. and proceed with their claims. Officials have discussed working with local organizations to provide housing for the families.
Yeah yeah yeah. It keeps them in Texas, and means Abbott can’t ship them to sanctuary areas. Oh, but, see, there’s a problem with keeping them in Texas

That would be the northeast border, and there’s no telling about other sections of the norther border, as they come in through Canada.
NY Gov. Hochul says she is considering special legislative session on migrants
Gov. Kathy Hochul said Thursday that she is “entertaining” the possibility of calling lawmakers back to Albany for a special session to address New York City’s migrant crisis.
“I’m entertaining all of my options right now — we’re working closely with [Mayor Eric Adams] to resolve this,” Hochul, a Democrat, said at a news conference in Albany.
Hochul has previously called the Legislature back from vacation to address gun safety and abortion protections. But her remarks Thursday, with the next session months away, marked her strongest public suggestion she might convene an extraordinary session on migrants.
She might not like it if she does
It is unclear what issues might animate a special session. Some of the Republicans’ migrant demands, including a declaration that New York is not a sanctuary state, might be nonstarters in the left-leaning state Legislature. Hochul on Thursday rejected the demand.
And upstate and suburban lawmakers of both parties may be wary of some of the mayor’s aims, which include forcing more areas of the state to welcome migrants, and securing more taxpayer money from the state government, which has already pledged about $1.5 billion to help the city with the surge.
Sounds like a fun time in the sanctuary state of NY.
