At least they're out of texas?
Out of sight, out of mind? I hope that's how I'm treated if I'm ever at rock bottom. /s
I was thinking more that texas is probably a bad place to be an immigrant in.
That's probably true. But being shipped to a random city way out across a giant country isn't ok.
There's a silver lining of good intentions here... Immigration court is different from state to state. Texas only approves 35% of asylum seekers. Meaning if you're an illegal in Texas wanting a pathway to legal residency, you're not likely to get it there. Meanwhile, in blue states such as in NY, it's 69% or higher. I would say majority of asylum seekers are seeking asylum for legitimate reasons. My wife tells stories that are very common to her family and other people from Honduras... The drug cartels rule with impunity, they have had family kidnapped for ransom, seeing people killed by gun violence is very normal, etc.
Anyways, typically, when USCIS finishes your intake, you have to be released to the custody of a friend or relative who accepts responsibility for you and you are given to their custody in their state of residence. You can't just ask to be taken to a liberal state, you have to have family there. Republicans are being cute in how they're dealing with immigration, but for the immigrants themselves, it's a favorable outcome.
Interesting. Thank you for the info
Ofc.
Being homeless in the Chicago winter isn’t a great prospect either
