Mr. Abbott’s plan, however, happens to fit into the Biden administration’s strategy for responding to the surge in migrant crossings, which officials anticipate will increase sharply once a public health rule imposed during the coronavirus pandemic is lifted at the end of May. The Biden plan includes working with state and local governments and nonprofits to provide support, assistance and transportation to move migrants out of border communities and toward their final destinations in a humane and orderly way. [emphasis added]
“In a way, it’s actually perfect,” said Bilal Askaryar, a spokesman for Welcome With Dignity, a collective of about 100 local and national groups that help migrants. “Unintentionally, Governor Abbott sent them to one of the best places in the nation to welcome people.”
"Humane", "orderly", and "dignity" are words you won't find in any GOP immigration agenda.
"Fear", "loathing", and "divisiveness" are much closer to the mark.

Absolutely clueless.
Talk about a racial divide. Consider this:\
There’s Bexley, which is 87 percent white. Compare it to the Near East Side of Columbus, which is 59 percent Black. They are essentially next-door neighbors. The average lifespan of residents in the wealthy suburb? A little more than 85 years. In the minority community? Try 67 years.\
Think about that. A difference of more than 18 years based on where you live. [emphasis added]
Might as well put up a warning sign: Living while Black in Central Ohio can be dangerous to your health.
