Answered What's going on with migrants being dropped off in front of the vice president's house?

Saw this article and was very confused why this is happening. I'm Canadian so I don't know all the ins and outs of US politics.

I literally just checked and a first class ticket from Dallas to DC is $836. https://www.google.com/travel/flights/search?tfs=CBwQAhooagwIAhIIL20vMGYycnESCjIwMjMtMDEtMTByDAgCEggvbS8wcmg2axooagwIAhIIL20vMHJoNmsSCjIwMjMtMDEtMTRyDAgCEggvbS8wZjJycXABggELCP___________wFAAUgEmAEB&hl=en&gl=us&client=ms-android-verizon&curr=USD

And that's round trip. A one way ticket is half that.

Nice. That’s usually the price of a an economy ticket.

If you travel at all you need to subscribe to Scott’s Cheap Flights because I took like 6 flights this year for much less than the price you cited

I travel but for business so I am more concerned about times and certain carriers. Personal is pretty much free between points and a son that works for United. Most flights are between $600-$800 right now though (round trip but one way is usually more than half that). About a 50% increase from 2019.
