Although it would possibly hasten the splintering of the country, here's a modest proposal (Updated)

/

Nine cities. Why not expand on the DeSantis/Abbot model by formally accepting the self-proclaimed sanctuary status of these hotspots of concentrated compassion and offer “migrants” free transportation to self-deport themselves there permanently? Warn those who refuse to relocate that they’ll see massive stepped-up enforcement of our immigration laws everywhere except in those cities, where they’ll be allowed to stay. Free bus fare — hell, put ‘em on planes — for all takers, but only for 30 days, then the hammer comes down.

Our south of the border friends can head to Denver, Minneapolis, both Portlands, east and west, Seattle, and Los Angeles (and Martha’s Vineyard, just for good measure) and the citizens of those locations can welcome, house and care for them. Aliens who accept the offer but then decided to leave can do so ony by accepting deportation to their original homeland; they will no longer be free to roam about the country.

A win-win, and if we extend the offer to the homeless, even better.

UPDATE: The unfortunate law-abiding residents of these cities may want to take advantage of the opportunity to hop on the buses after they’ve discharged these wards of the state and return with them out of Dodge; certainly, they won’t want to stick around for what will be coming.
