Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) is vowing to send more buses, as well as planes, carrying migrants to Washington, D.C.
“One thing is perfectly clear, and that is the Biden administration and a lot of leaders in Congress have no idea about the chaos they have caused by their open border policies,” Abbott told reporters on Wednesday.
He continued, “And they refuse to come down and see first hand and talk to the people who are really most adversely affected. And if they’re not going to come to the border, I’m going to take the border to them.”
The governor then referenced a bus that dropped off migrants in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday morning:
“They experienced, early this morning, exactly what communities in Texas experience every single day where the Biden administration is dropping off large groups of illegal immigrants from countries across the entire globe, leaving communities those communities to have to grapple with it.”
Finally, Abbott said, “We had the first busload arrive in Washington, D.C., today. There will be more that will be arriving whether by bus or plane so that Washington is going to have to respond and deal with the same challenges that we’re dealing with.”
