- zmgsabst 4y agoResidents of border districts seem to believe that it was to their benefit for politicians to bus immigrants to other cities — because it forced those cities to stop ignoring the problem. Eg, NYC was vocal about demanding more migration until they had to face migrants themselves — now it’s an “emergency”. I think what you hate about this approach is that it makes you the recipient of the bad policy your elected officials normally inflict on others. But that’s the point: You won’t stop voting for politicians who engage in that kind of behavior until you also experience it’s negative effects.
