The move came weeks before Title 42 is set to expire per Biden's orders in May

e steps of the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., as border checkpoints struggle to manage the flow of people attempting to enter the United States and the Biden administration's move to eliminate the Title 42 expulsion provision.

The state will provide charter buses to drop off migrants – many released into small Texas communities that officials say are overwhelmed – in Washington, the Republican governor said in a news conference.

"We are sending them to the United States Capitol 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," Abbott said.

Could be. But if anyone concerned with immigration votes for Beto or stays home to help Beto win is stupid. If they think they’re teaching conservatives a lesson it’s too late for that.

I’d like to make them an offer they can’t refuse. 😎

There is value in doing it in a way that will not result in an emergency restraining order being slapped on the operation before the first bus is even started.

It is clearly publicity stunt and not a practical solution to the problem. Do the math.

Great idea.

The feds want them, they can have them.

He should also be dropping them off by the ten’s of thousands in those rich, woke, lilly-white towns that vote for democratic policies.

It’s on a volunteer basis, so I don’t see it accomplishing much. I hope I’m wrong.

The bus trip will take 4 days minimum. Too drawn out. Just fly them all there for a few $million. Otherwise it’s Kabuki.

It would take 3 days to drive that distance, I think. It would involve many stops for bathroom and meal breaks, providing plenty of opportunities for the passengers to wander off.

Smoke and mirrors.

The ILLEGAL INVADERS will have to VOLUNTEER to be bussed out of Texas.

I'll believe it when I see it. This is just RINO virtue signaling. Get the Texas NG on the Rio Grande with Ma Deuce and let lose. That will stop these wetback vermin and cartels.

They are invaders. They are the enemy. Treat them as such.

Election year rhetoric, the only thing if implemented it will do is assist with the dispersal of illegal aliens.

There is a Red Latino wave coming in Texas this year. They are fed up with the border and wokeness.

Better to send them to the home communities of the swamp creatures.

That too; however unless they drop them off at the state capitol it’d cause harm to the communities - unless of course they’re uber liberal.

That's the idea...dump the problems the rest of us have to endure into the backyards of the leftists who caused it and the others whose silence enables it.
