AUSTIN – Governor Greg Abbott announced the arrival Wednesday of the first group of illegal aliens bused to Washington, D.C. This busing strategy is part of Governor Abbott's response to the Biden Administration's decision to end Title 42 expulsions. The migrant passengers were dropped off between Union Station and the United States Capitol, and a second bus is currently en route to Washington, D.C.
Last week, Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to charter buses to transport migrants from Texas to Washington, D.C.
The bus was filled with migrants from the countries of Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua.
"As the federal government continues to turn a blind eye to the border crisis, the State of Texas will remain steadfast in our efforts to fill in the gaps and keep Texans safe," said Governor Abbott. "By busing migrants to Washington, D.C., the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately meet the needs of the people they are allowing to cross our border. Texas should not have to bear the burden of the Biden Administration’s failure to secure our border."

PermalinkSo much for the naysayers that swore this would never happen! Texas is very fortunate to have a true leader for our Governor instead of some political hack like so many other states or the current President.

PermalinkI was one who said i didnt expect this to ever happen, and to some degree i was wrong. I didint think he was speaking of persons who had already cleared all entry requirements and simply wished to be taken to other parts of the country. This is great optics for hot wheels with hard line trump folks. Abbott is one of the kings of election time optics.

PermalinkThe current action represents a significant walkback on what Abbott hinted at earlier. We must not forget he is a pandering political whore who pukes out one thing and then must come up with something more reasonable when he realizes he has said something outrageously stupid.

PermalinkHe is far, far better than anyone the democrats have to offer. If you disagree then name someone like biden or pelosi or beto or your choice and lets check them out.

PermalinkI think I'll go watch TV. Maybe you liberals can have a meeting and decide what vulgar low class statement you can put on here next.

PermalinkWhat “entry requirements” are those? What’s happening is anyone claiming asylum is allowed to enter pending a hearing. The problem with that is, not only is there a four year backlog of cases, but the majority of them never show up for their hearing because why take the chance?

PermalinkYes basically this, they have requested asylum and are processed to wait on their day in court. These people were already receiving free rides all over the country, mostly paid for by liberal organizations. Many were actually already going to DC the free Texas bus just drops them off about two blocks away from the catholic church that they used to be dropped of at, in front of fox cameras. Huge optics for rubes. They then either stay in the city or receive tickets to Boston, New York or wherever their final destination. Abbott just turned this from a liberal charity paid for trip to state funded trip, all to own the libs. These are goofy times.

PermalinkGood use of tax money in my opinion absolutely worth the cost of a bus ride…especially considering the financial burden associated with being a border state as well as the “social cost” involved ;)
