Gov. Greg Abbott touted the state's accomplishment of busing more than 100,000 immigrants from the border to 'sanctuary cities' nationwide.
The three-term Republican governor’s office announced the feat Friday and added that it does not plan to stop providing state-funded transportation for immigrants to travel north anytime soon.
More than 39,600 immigrants have chosen to travel to New York City, followed by 32,500 who boarded buses to Chicago. Both cities have been busing destinations since mid-2022. Another 12,500 immigrants have gone to Washington, D.C., since April 2022, which was the first destination in the governor’s initiative.“To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hoards of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington, D.C.
