Texas Governor Abbott said he would forcibly take border-crossers to Washington DC against their will. He received a hostile reaction and changed the plan. Now he says he will offer them a gratis bus trip to Washington.

I don't see anything wrong in his making them that offer -- provided that's really what happens. But you can't trust Republicans to keep their commitments to anyone that is disprivileged, or even to anyone not filthy rich. Their contempt for the weak is unrestrained. Who knows what nasty things they might do, to unauthorized immigrants who decline the offer, or to make sure that they "choose" to go.

So I suggest sending spanish-speaking federal marshals to monitor the whole operation, including the stage of asking who wants to go and who does not, and what happens afterwards to both groups, inviting reports and audio/video recordings of any abuses. A marshall should ride in each bus.
