Abbott's political stunt of bussing masses of migrants to "Blue" cities is a bitch, I'll give you that.

Just to add, two of the five weren't migrants.
I agree. The problems NYC is having is Greg Abbott's fault. I understand he is not in the best positon but at the end of the day, he sent people to these cities to instigate conflict.
What is Texas suppose to do when in December over 300,000 arrived in Texas? NYC was saying loud and clear we will give sanctuary to anyone who needs it!
All four states that border Texas have sanctuary cities. There are six states between Texas and NY with sanctuary cities. This wasn't a move to relieve Texas of its migrant burden by dispersing migrants to sanctuary cities. This was an expensive political stunt.

I agree with Mike Johnson. Abbott shouldn't. I would totally support a coordinated effort between cities and states (particularly sanctuary cities) to relieve the Texas burden. That's not what happened though, is it? Perhaps it can happen moving forward? Of course, Abbott wants to now deport rather than transport so maybe there will no longer be the need for buses to NY, Denver, and Boston?

They like * saying * they’re a sanctuary city…

They don’t want to actually * be * a sanctuary city.



Because as they’ve now realized, there is no city in America that is equipped to deal with that kind of influx of people.

I am aware of the counties. In NY many counties are blocking it. Nassau and Rockland already have. Most cities are not happy with being a sanctuary.

More than 30 counties around the state have taken steps to block New York City from sending migrants to local hotels and shelters.

Drop them off at the White House so Biden and Kamala Harris can deal with it directly.

Is that not okay?

It doesn’t matter if it’s a sanctuary city or not. Biden still doesn’t care cause Abbott is targeting the wrong group.
