The Biden administration’s program of secretly flying illegal immigrants directly from Latin America to U.S. cities dumps over 90% in hubs of two Southern states governed by the president’s harshest border critics, according to government data.

Using taxpayer funds for political purposes and attempting to interfere in an election.

and we read a couple lines down:

It is unclear how many of the immigrants fly on to other U.S. cities, though the government has said there are over 40 final destinations.

So, the complaint is that they're using airports in Texas and Florida? Really?

Using taxpayer funds for political purposes and attempting to interfere in an election.
Oh, is that bad now?

Whoops. Abbot to DeSantis: "It seemed like a good idea at the time." Poetic justice.

The administration has refused to work with Texas or Florida on the surge of illegal immigrants entering the states. DeSantis and Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) have bused and flown some of the illegal immigrants to northern “sanctuary cities” governed by liberal mayors, including Chicago, Boston, and New York City.
Oh, is that bad now?
Today's winner.

I am getting 404 error, on the link.
Also, if the United States has invited immigrants to our nation, how is it that they’re deemed “illegal”?

The United States as a whole did not invite them. Traitorous leaders did and are trying to brush it under the rug.

The power of enforcing (or curtailing the use of) immigration laws to achieve a “desired effect” is under the purview of the Executive Branch.
Consequently, if an administration would like some very motivated people, (who would be looking to emigrate from “troubled-lands”), and offers them “sanctuary“, then those new immigrants cannot be “illegal”.

Doesn’t contradict what I said at all. Traitorous leaders brought people in that many Americans don’t wanted are trying to brush it under the rug.

The people who get to make these decisions made these decisions.
You just disagree with the decisions that they’ve made, that doesn’t make them “traitors”; we’ve disagreed with one another over policy for our entire existence, but only one other time were there actual “traitors”.

Exactly whom are we at war with that we can assign them as traitors?

They are traitors because they work against the wishes of the majority of American citizens. They used deception in order to hide something that if they were honest about, the majority of Americans wouldn’t approve of, and the reason the majority wouldn’t approve of it would be because it works against their interests. That is what it means to be a traitor.

There is no way around this. These politicians have committed treason against the average American citizen and their interests in order to try and keep power for themselves. Treason is something that the law considers to be worthy of capital punishment, aka these politicians deserve to be killed for what they’ve done.

That is no way what it means to be a traitor. Not even according to the most liberal definition is that being a traitor.

Yeah, no. Treason in America is defined in the constitution and it is very explicit. This is poorly reasoned and should be roundly condemned as the violent hyperbolic nonsense it is.

The third definition, if we’re being “liberal” with definitions, seems to fit. Many consider illegal immigrants to be enemies. Remember you said even by most liberal definitions. So it wouldn’t matter if you think they aren’t enemies, as long as many Americans do, then it falls within the range of most liberal definitions.

It’s not violent as much as you wish to demonize it.

Certain ideas and opinions are now defined by their political content to be the moral equivalent of a threat to do violence and physical harm.
Hate speech theory...assumes bad faith on the part of people regardless of their stated intentions.
