Overview

• Nearly two years after launching, Texas' program to bus migrants to sanctuary cities has raised less than 1% of its $150 million goal, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill.
• The largest donation of $900,000 bounced, and other reported donations have discrepancies, raising questions about the fundraising's transparency.
• Over 100,000 migrants have been bused to cities like New York and Chicago, with each relocation costing approximately $1,500.
• Critics argue the program, described as a political stunt by some, poses not only financial but also humanitarian concerns, citing incidents of harm to migrants.
• Efforts to offset costs through private donations have largely failed, prompting scrutiny over the sustainability and motivation behind the initiative.
