    Wonder how many bus loads it’s going to take before republicans get their heads out of their address and stop engaging in human trafficking.

      I still don’t get how you guys came up with human trafficking. It’s paying for a bus ticket, or rather several bus tickets.

        If you coerce someone to get on a bus that you paid for by lying about where it’s going, that is a crime. “We guys” did not come up with it, it is what the law says.

        I decided to do some digging on this, and I actually agree that it’d be hard to argue the third leg of the requirements which is “Purpose”: https://news.northeastern.edu/2022/09/19/human-trafficking-laws/

        The Purpose for this would materially benefit Florida and DeSantis specifically, but it wouldn’t fall under “Sex Trafficking” or “Labour Trafficking”.

        It’s good to know that you think lying to a bunch of desperate people seeking refuge and dumping them in another place is fine, though. You must be a real joy to be around, with the kind of behaviour you endorse.
