Governors Abbott of Texas and DeSantis of Florida have taken it upon themselves to deliver asylum-seekers to the liberal enclaves that have for so long extended unassayed invitations to the world’s poor and oppressed, promising succor while building high walls around their mansions at a significant remove from the southern border that has been the scene of horror for decades — a stain that grows by the day.

I’ve been staring at the computer for a while now, trying to decide if I care more about means or ends. The current immigration regime is untenable, but change has been even more unpalatable politically, up until only a few days ago.
