Reply to comment by chucktownbtown in Who is is that keeps dumping hundreds of people in unsuspecting Massachusetts towns? by VulcanTrekkie45

I’d rather they be given the choice. Look at the way the Martha’s Vineyard migrants were duped. Trickery does not equal consent.

Can agree on that.

But what Florida did is different than what ICE is doing with transporting. There is an attempt to find them a landing ground (as in housing, not just an airport runway)

Then why not alert the towns involved that they’re about to receive several hundred refugees? And after the MV incident, I think we really need to look into whether these people gave informed consent. Because I very much doubt many of them did

I couldn’t tell you why they don’t alert the towns. We can both agree that a simple phone call would go a long way.

My guess is that a lot of towns would ask for them not to come here because of a lack of resources. Problem is that, where they are coming from, there are also a lack of resources.

I’m only stating the problems that exist.
