Texas Continues to Bus Migrants to Sanctuary Cities Amid Border Crisis

Governor Abbott's controversial initiative aims to alleviate pressure on border towns, despite criticism from Democrats and destination cities.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announces the state will continue to bus migrants to sanctuary cities until the Biden administration secures the southern border.
Abbott's initiative, criticized by Democrats, has provided relief to Texas border towns overwhelmed by the influx of migrants.
Texas has already bussed over 12,500 migrants to Washington D.C., 25,000 to New York City, 20,000 to Chicago, 3,200 to Philadelphia, 7,400 to Denver, and over 1,000 to Los Angeles.
Sanctuary cities, mostly Democrat-led, have criticized Abbott for sending buses filled with migrants to their cities with little or no notice.
Texas has initiated its own border security measures, such as a new state law that will increase penalties for human smugglers and criminals who operate stash houses, as well as barriers on the border and stepped up border enforcement.
