I think you probably agree with me that Texas' action is numerically very small, just a few hundred people getting bussed out of hundreds of thousands of recently arrived illegal immigrants.  I think you agree that it is just symbolic and meant to teach a lesson.  I think where we disagree is whether symbolic attempts to teach lessons are useful or not. Chicago may stop presenting itself as a sanctuary city, yes, but that won't change federal law nor will it cause Texans or Chigagoans to start sending different-minded people to Congress.

Governor Abbott has already achieved his goal of showing what utter hypocrites the left really are. More busloads of immigrants to resistant sanctuary cities only serves to underscore that statement. As I said, make Seattle and San Francisco the next destinations. Throw Portland in there too.
