A bus from Texas arrived in Washington, D.C. Wednesday morning, transporting dozens of illegal immigrants as part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s new plan to counter federal immigration policies during an ongoing border crisis.

Abbott announced last week that he was directing the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to transport migrants released from federal custody in Texas to the nation’s capital and other locations outside his state.

As a resident of TX, thank you Governor Abbott for making the border issue a national one

They’ll all be working in 30 days, if not sooner.

It’s a buyer’s market, and there is no shortage of jobs for concrete finishers, framing guys, paving crews, and a whole host of other jobs in the area.

I am not surprised you are applauding a government funded free trip to DC for migrants that volunteered for a publicity stunt. Great idea, that will surely stop other migrants to the south of us who have family in the DC area and now know crossing the border also includes a free trip to visit them.

If I were a Trumpist, I'd consider it hilarious if blue cities exported homeless people to red areas in red states in retaliation. If I were like a Trumpist, I'd even call for it. But I'm not one, so I recognize that they may have any number of support networks right where they are (mental health treatment, drug addiction, a rotating cast of shelters housing them).

However, I am talking to a Trumpist, so the person I am talking to is necessarily gleeful about GOP scumbaggery.

Right I am applauding an action that is caused by the incompetence of President Biden in doing his job on the border. Doesn't seem to bother you that unvaccinated illegals are crossing the border infecting Americans. Living in that bubble of yours ignores the reality of what is happening here in my state

“We are sending them to the United States capital, where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” the Republican governor added.

Paging Joe!!!! Oh Joe, come out, come out wherever you are.... :giggle:

Blue cities seem to have a corner on the homeless situation as California and NY also lead the nation in that category as well but don't let facts get in the way of your partisan BS

This is actually good news. The hotels and restaurants in DC are very short on staff. Americans don't want to be dishwashers or scrub the toilets in the hotels. These people can all find work that pays better than anything they could have earned in their countries. Glad to have them in DC and hope more come to the other cities feeling the same pinch.

Workers are assets, it's funny how people who claim that they love economic freedom and understand how the economy works more than everyone else views them as liabilities.

You are paying to give more incentive for people to come here illegally. Sounds like you are the one that isn't bothered!

Biden? Are you another one that doesn't understand the federal government has always had control of immigration and that's been the procedure for decades - even under Trump?

Governor Abbott appears to be a man of his word. Good on him for that.
Hopefully this will have some sort of impact on the present Biden, more so the open border radicals in his administration - as he's control nor leading anything, but I remain skeptical that it will, so ensconced are those open border radicals in the administration.

I'm pretty sure that controlling who lives and works in Republican-governed areas is one of their main strategies and has been since Western Europeans 'found' the land that became America. Republicans want to play "God." They probably send homeless people out of "their towns" and might even drop them off in "Democrat cities."


I think this is a good conservative idea. It's similar to liberal sanctuary cities. Federal government, do your job.

Funny how some forget how things work. Congress needs to address the immigration issue.

Also the rule of law is in effect in civilized countries, violation of the law exists regardless of political party.

I understand it quite well. Now would you like to answer my question or are you going to deflect again? You've opposed Biden's a government funded free trips across the entire country for hundreds of thousands?

Ironically, DC has the highest amount of homelessness.

Do you think people crossing the Rio Grande illegally are vaccinated and being screened for covid?
