Anchorage offering homeless free one-way tickets to lower 48 for the Winter

This sounds more humane than Texas busing them North.

This appears to be the new strategy for getting rid of people you don’t want. Immigrant? Ship them to another state. Homeless? Ship them to another state. I vote we take the gun nuts and give them Wyoming - and put a fence around it.

Hardly new. The ‘bus ticket’ strategy has been around for decades.

Build a wall around it with one-way doors IN.

Ya know, a savvy (but otherwise inhumane) northern city could see an opportunity in trading their homeless for the undocumented from southern states. I bet it would not be long before Texas et al. would cry uncle if for every bus of migrants they send to NYC, they received a bus of homeless in Amarillo or Lubbock.

This is not unlike suburbs around cities transporting the homeless to the inner city. Justification is that is where you will find the food kitchens, shelters, and sometimes clinics for them. In the suburbs they are mostly beggars.

This has been going on for decades. Nothing new about it.

Ouch. But I’ll take the fence if it’ll stop the Californication of Wyoming.

Deal.

NYC has decided on planes – to anywhere in the world.

In recent days, the mayor of the nation’s largest city has been steering people who were vacated from city shelters to a Manhattan office devoted solely to booking plane tickets, creating more uncertainty for the new arrivals.

Dispersing them across the nation and world harkens back to when the Democratic mayor ripped Republican governors in Texas and Florida for sending migrants from the southern border to liberal enclaves…

Migrants have opted to fly to destinations as far as away as Colombia and Morocco.

I think the difference is that in New York people are flying to destinations of their choosing. That’s in sharp contrast to the Ron DeSantis hoax that flew a bunch of Texas migrants to Martha’s Vineyard telling them there were jobs there.

Getting back on topic, what is Anchorage doing?

Johnson was short on details about what would happen after those 60 days, but sources tell ABC7 migrants could be allowed to stay longer if they are taking steps to find housing and work.
