They embraced the xenophobic hatred of Donald Trump and other GOP bigots, who always favored the divisiveness of the issue over any solution for it. In fact, their constant declarations that, because of Biden, America&#8217;s borders were open, has surely motivated more refugees to immigrate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54786\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stupid Fox News Question: Should Liberal Martha\u2019s Vineyard Celebs Open Their Homes to Migrants?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Thursday&#8217;s episode <em>&#8220;Outnumbered&#8221;<\/em> on Fox News, the five panelists collectively defended the inhumane tactics of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who had just dropped off a busload of refugee families in the the freezing District of Columbia on Christmas Eve. Co-host Cheryl Casone led the Abbott Appreciation Society with an unexpectedly sympathetic approach&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;These migrants, first off, they chose to go to Washington, D.C. They signed waivers in multiple languages. They wanted to go. And all of a sudden the left screaming over the weekend, <em>[mock crying]<\/em> &#8216;They dumped migrants in the middle of the cold on Christmas Eve.&#8217; They knew exactly where they were going.

His spokesperson <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2022\/12\/26\/democrats-christmas-migrant-buses-00075600\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">told the press<\/a><\/strong> that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;These migrants willingly chose to go to Washington, D.C., having signed a voluntary consent waiver available in multiple languages upon boarding that they agreed on the destination.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, there are some questions evolving from that statement. Were there actually any waivers? No one has seen them. Were they really voluntary, having been allegedly signed <em>&#8220;upon boarding&#8221;<\/em> the buses? Were the refugees told that their destination was given no notice that they were coming or any opportunity to prepare? Were they informed that Washington, D.C. was suffering historically cold weather that had already claimed dozens of lives throughout the the region that the storm impacted?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, both Casone and Abbott are portraying this heinous human trafficking operation as beneficial to the migrants. They regard it as free transportation to what they say will be <em>&#8220;hopefully a better life.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Really? So now Abbott and Fox News are suddenly concerned about making these refugee families happy? And if so, aren&#8217;t they encouraging more migrants to come to America? After all, the governor of Texas will welcome them into the country with a free ride to a place where they will receive food, clothing, jobs, and shelter.<\/p>\n<p>One might ask: Why Abbott would want to persuade more refugees to make the arduous journey north to the U.S.? There are at least two plausible reasons. First of all, the more migrants come across the border, the more Abbott can complain about it and blame it on President Biden and the Democrats. And secondly, Texas and other states actually need to enlarge the labor pool in order to stimulate the economy. They especially need cheap labor since there is currently a glut of job vacancies that gives American workers an advantage with regard to wages and benefits. And the GOP&#8217;s corporate donors certainly won&#8217;t tolerate that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52573\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jen Psaki Shreds Texas Gov.
