Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced new plans to stop the influx of migrants crossing the southern border, including using charter buses to transport migrants to Washington. Governor Abbot said sending migrants to Washington will allow the Biden administration “to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across” the southern border.

#Texas #Immigration #Border

what a stupid idea!! does this man really think that immigrants are just going stay in the DC area. There is not invisible wall that will prevent immigrants from get off that bus and going their separate ways. Just imagine that amount resource that would require to do this. No wonder conservatives fear immigrants taking their jobs. With such simplistic mind set. No wonder they can they compete in the job market
I've demanded this 'busing' for over a YEAR now on youtube, but, not from 'White' Texas into 'Black' Washingtoon, Dizzy. Why, THAT would be RACIST…..lol. Instead, I've been for sending the illegals to nearby LOUDOUN COUNTY, Virginia, just across the Potomac from the Capital and a very high-priced 'White' County where the 'woke' government employees live so they don't have to mix with the colored city people and can still try to have 'CRT' in their schools, except for what Gov Youngkin as been able to do to stop them. Oh, and give each one of 'em $20 for a Slurpee a Big Bite and a phone call to their nearest DemonRAT politician.
LOL! Good, if Biden and co. can't be bothered to go to the border, send the border to them.
Bus liberals to DC too
About time . Send the poor souls to D.C. & Delaware .
Send them all to Bidens home or Nancy's. All the left are deserving.
I cannot wait to see hoards of illegal immigrants at the U.S. Capitol. Joe Biden will not be able to hide this problem if there are ten thousand illegal immigrants at the Capitol.
A coworker was a border guard. He said TX might fill a bus a week. The numbers are inflated and actors are used in videos.
Just send them all to deep blue states (+DC) that voted in this idiotic administration…let them deal with them and pay for their needs
Watch the ignorance flow, Oh so freely from Texass. It's like they're on a rampage to prove all the negative stereotypes true.
While I do agree that Biden should not allow so much migration or illegal aliens, we should not be criminalizing all immigrants, most of these people are hard workers who are escaping evil bullies who killed or threatened their families, just like my parents had to escape from Cuba many years ago from evil cops, system ect. I also think it is pretty racist to call those from Latin America criminals or illegal aliens, and yet call those from Europe such as Ukraine or from the Middle East refugees just because they are White. I bet you some are also possible terrorist or pretending to be innocent refugees. My daughter's former babysitter's brother was beheaded and her family killed in the early 80's in El Salvador by evil bullies who wanted their 14 year old son to work in the cocaine field, the father was unarmed Tomato farmer minding his own business, what can you do if you are a poor farmer and a group of armed bullies invade your home and kills your 14 year old son to try to force him into this type of labor. Evil people sometimes outnumber and overpower those that are truly hard workers and truly want to live in their country. I think most people that come here want to just live in peace with their family. It is a human right no matter what color your skin is. I also think its unfair that they allow the Russian refugees and Middle Eastern refugees express visas or entry yet they don't do this for Hispanics or Hattians this privilege, and as I said you may never know that among those Russians, Ukrainians or Middle Eastern immigrants there may be some spy, terrorist, or criminals who take advantage of this system. Just because they are White they should not get special treatment over others. All humans have the right to a safe home, live in peace with their families and not be bullied by others. Try for once to put yourself in their shoes. I do agree that they should double check those crossing the border and perhaps offer a temporary guest pass like the first Bush did years ago, that program helped a lot and reduce the need for overwhelmed border issue. God Bless.
Who pays…? YOU DO….. Millions stroll across our border
No Covid precautions, no IDs, no vaccines
Airlifted to the interior of US, unaccounted for in the middle of the night.
Free: 1,000,000 in cash, housing, healthcare, education, and voting rights downstream
Hahahha haha ha ha ha.
More than 3,600 Texans died by gun violence in 2019, an average of ten people every day.
Based. Send them to Delaware too.
Don't send them all to D.C. Send many to San Francisco and Delaware. If you can't drop them directly in front of Biden and Pelosi's house, then at least get them in the vicinity. Short of preventing them from entering the country at all, this is a better than nothing approach.
Texas should decide that every state road leading to a migrant facility is in need of repair and has to be torn up and fixed. Repairs will take a couple of years (late 2024). Then sit back and watch the lefts heads explode.
Hey people….get the fact straight…it is illegal to let illegal into the country. So stop avoiding the issues. Anyone who is for millions of illegals to cross the border….how about this idea?….open you door to where you live to these illegals? If yes, type yes and give your address…lol
Great news 🙂
Texas would keep them if they were Ukrainian white refugees
Sooooo…Human Trafficking?
What happened to the money allocated into an account for completion of the construction of the border wall? Did they 'BLM/TRACY ABRAMS' it? Where is it and/or what was it spent on alternatively? Time to present your books to the IRS for an audit, Biden Crime Family Syndicate. Follow the money; Find the corruption; Get the answers!
Absolutely the Right Move for America.
The immigrants need to volunteer 🙋♀️. Lol . This was a staged gimmick. They have to volunteer AND have paperwork. …Guess its misleading but not lying if it's said off camera .. OOF . Check out the paperwork he wrote for it.. check out your property tax staying higher because he wants to do this silly thing with your surplus
Abbott's breathlessly announced plan was to send illegal aliens captured at the border to Washington, D.C., in buses. The proposal caught headlines of right-leaning media outlets, who were quick to report glowingly of the action.
Details released by Abbott shortly after the TV cameras turned off, however, let the air out of the tires. The bus trips will be voluntary for the illegal aliens. In order to board a taxpayer-funded bus or flight, an illegal alien must volunteer to be transported and provide documentation from the Department of Homeland Security showing that they had been detained and released.
“It’s a gimmick,” tweeted State Rep. Matt Schaefer (R-Tyler).
Former State Sen. Konni Burton, who runs The Texan news website, derided Abbott’s announcement as “just another stunt.”
“Busses? Gas? Food? Is this what the budget surplus will be used for instead of property tax relief?” asked former Texas GOP Chairman Allen West, who came in second place to Abbott during the primary election last month. (He was referring to reports that lawmakers will have a $25 billion budget surplus in 2023.)
Great idea. NYC lost 7 percent of their population send them up their
He should charter the buses to Delaware, to Bidens house. Maybe he will open his doors to them….. but… you have to get past the huge WALL he built with tax payer dollars!?!!! But then says a wall at border is racist!! This administration is disgusting. A joke. They are a dangerous joke
Gov Abbot forgot to provide them with tents. They will set up a tent city near the W.H. maybe Kamala will see the problem ?
Buy solar!
Send some to Martha Vineyard too.
Send them to DC send them to Delaware send them to Nancy Pelosi's front door.
Bring back Trump
What if the unwanted aliens refuse to get on or off the buses?
Texas should succede from the union.
Good
What is wrong and inhumane is the treatment of our American citizens by keeping the borders open and NOT protecting our country from the illegal immigrants. We do not have any more room, man. WE do not even have room for all the homeless people stacking up in every town and city of America. Housing shortage and affordable housing is a huge problem too already. What are these Democrats thinking? They are not strong in their duty to be responsible to protecting our AMERICAN citizens already, but they keep reaching out to more immigrants…..to hopefully get them more votes. This is absolutely insane.
I would rather have them in the DC area than the likes of Abbott.
We could use one million immigrants in Chicago…..
Finally a politician with the balls to do what's right. Our government is controlled by corrupt communists.
Everybody in America is Immigrant, think twice ! No One can, and Will stop human Immigration ,all around the world, leave alone USA (Texas).
I can't disagree here
best idea ever.
Using people as literal political pawns is wrong on many levels. Morally ethically spiritually. I already knew republicans were petty and vindictive but this takes the cake. Using the power of state government and it's tax dollars to score political points for one party over another. Basically the state of Texas works for the republican party right now.
