On Tuesday, Johnson, who is Black, criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s busing effort during a press conference, calling it “right-wing extremism” that was intentionally targeting cities “led by people of color.”

hey, if you dont want a massive flood of illegal aliens bused to your city, then get your federal representatives/governor to fix the immigration issue - or, you know, bus them somewhere else

Since April 2022, Texas has bused more than 66,000 migrants to six Democratic-run cities, four of which have Black mayors - Chicago, New York, Los Angeles and Washington.

It's not a flood but a regular thing Republicans do.

* migrant’s
(or my bad ? English isn’t my first language)

It’s correct how it is. It’s acting as an adjective, as if you said “red shelter.” “Migrant’s shelter” would mean the shelter belongs to one migrant. “Migrants’ shelter” would mean the shelter belongs to a group of migrants, which is also incorrect because they do not own it. Hope this helps :)

You don’t have to have legal ownership of a thing to use the possessive. “Migrants’ shelter” is fine, and I would say preferred.

Would you also say “dry goods’ pantry?”

Honestly, I will say that I would consider “migrant shelter,” “migrants’ shelter,” and “migrants shelter” as all equally correct, with minor differences in shade of meaning.

SheeEttin ,

I would not, and I’m not sure why. Maybe because I differentiate between living and nonliving things for some reason? I would say the lions’ cage, for example. Actually, unless I was contrasting it, I would say “the lion cage”, regardless of the number of lions it houses, but that might just be a fixed expression in English regarding zoos and such. I would not say dry goods’ pantry or pants’ drawer.

I find it fascinating how we internalize the rules of language in a way that sometimes leads us stranded to explain them.

I do have to say that I’m going to start using pants’ drawer, though. The way it stacks plural on top of plural and then shoves the possessive at the end is brilliant.

    … they don’t deserve to own anything

    Neither do you with that self-righteous attitude.
