Those "illegal migrants" are broke as hell too. What's stopping you that is not stopping them? You likely have an education, a profession, heck even just citizenship and US "work experience" compared to them. And the ability to take on more credit and communicate in English. Buy the cheapest bus or plane ticket out of there and don't stop until you get north west or east.

Stop using immigrants' suffering as an excuse to do nothing about people's suffering in Texas. The correct response is not "just move", it is "how can I help you organize and stand up to your government."

I'd remind you that many of the people suffering and stuck in Texas are immigrats and their families.

The fact that I have a support system here that prevents me from dying. If I just pack up and move, I'm left with no home, no friends or family to rely on, no vehicle(which is the biggest reason I can't move to begin with), and no idea where to even begin the process of getting my life back together.

This is a really weird point to argue about.

It's not an argument.

It's not an argument, it's an example of other people that are in an even worse situation and it doesn't stop them, it just shows that people saying "Oh shit's so bad in Texas even for people like me who were born in the USA, I hate it :(" aren't that uncomfortable after allz they just want to complain.
