Letter: Stop being so generous

I would like to respond to those who use this and other forums to denigrate and disparage Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis for taking decisive action and drawing attention to massive immigration by transporting immigrants to supposed “sanctuary cities.”

Those illegal immigrant advocates/apologists who have a problem with the actions of Abbott and DeSantis need to explain why American taxpayers have an obligation to take in and provide food, shelter, etc., for a percentage of the world’s population who can make the claim they are fleeing poverty, violence, etc., in their home countries. Immigration advocates/apologists should stop being generous with American taxpayer money and instead put their money where their mouth is by adopting an illegal immigrant family or group.

I would venture to guess what Jesus (Christ) would say if he witnessed the hysterical response from “sanctuary city” politicians/citizens after the arrival of illegal immigrant buses. In a word: Hippocrates!
