    For it to be kidnapping it’d have to be against their will. Since they’re illegally in the country, it’s human trafficking, but unlikely to be kidnapping.

    The decision, since they were already caught, is either “you’re being deported to Mexico” or “you can go to LA, a sanctuary city where you can not be deported”

    Again, it’s human trafficking for sure… But without more information it’s tough to say kidnapping.

      Moral of the Story: OP says it’s not kidnapping if you trick the kid into believing there’s candy in the van and you rape them out of state. It’s just human trafficking because–since they’re illegal (we’ll ignore diplomatic asylum or the fact that these were refugees or their unaware children, since I can tell things get complicated for you fast) they have forfeited their basic human rights and now we get to play with them and their bodies AS MUCH AS WE WANT.

      Google “asylum seeker’s brochure” and read any of the multiple examples of falsified documents provided to the victims. If they were delivered anywhere WITHOUT the services promised by DeSantis and Abbott, they were kidnapped.

      If you got on a Greyhound that said “This Way to Apply for Universal Income! 500$ signing bonus!” on the front and it dropped you off outside the gates of a mansion belonging to a politician you’re not even aware of at 2am in the cold, you’d feel and be pretty fucking kidnapped.

      Yeah the pearl clutching is hilarious. It doesn’t really make sense for the states not directly affected by illegal immigration to force the states against it to accept and house them. Between the only two options (back to Mexico or free bus ride to a sanctuary city), this seems like the better of the two options.

      Shit, it’s not like California isn’t the best place out of the three options. No immigrants want to go to Texas where they know they’ll be hated, they just want to leave Mexico.
