Fed up with the Biden Administration failure to stem the tide of illegal immigrants flooding into Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott authorized a plan to put them on buses bound for Washington, DC. "President Biden invited them to come to America," he said. "If these immigrants would like to go to our Capital to seek the benefits he promised we'll pay their bus fare."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Chris Magnus called Abbott's plan "unfair. Just because some immigrants want to come to DC doesn't mean that we want them there. The Governor needs to seek our permission before he tries a cockamamie scheme of his own."
Abbott dismissed Magnus' complaint, calling it "hypocritical. The feds have already done more than their share of busing illegal immigrants to cities and states around the nation without giving any advance notice, much less seeking an agreement from receiving mayors and governors. In fact, they've gone to extra effort to conceal what they are doing by using red-eye charter flights that drop their passengers off in the wee hours of the morning to minimize potential witnesses. I've been much more open about what I'm doing."
Magnus was unmoved by the Governor's comparison, saying "we're the feds. We are the supreme law of the land. Whatever we do is legal regardless of whether it makes him or anyone else happy. If he doesn't fall in line we could have him indicted for smuggling illegals into DC. That might dim his reelection bid. Remember Gov, actions have consequences."

I’d think the Dem politicians would be glad to see them arrive. All that cheap lawn care and housecleaning...
On what planet does that matter?
In earlier societies, when faced with a stream of outsiders invading, the members of the society stopped what they were doing and took up the challenge to fight the invaders back over the border. It's what people did, because it was necessary for the preservation of their society.
Sadly, Americans are (by and large) too spread out (and too busy with their daily lives) to simply join the fight, leaving it to the government that is Constitutionally required to protect the border -- but the government has joined the other side, letting the invaders stream in.
Abbott's bussing to D.C. is important symbolically, but numerically it's a drop in the bucket.
We are witnessing the end of our society. Decay and corruption inside, invaders streaming in from outside, and the Left cheering as America goes down in flames.
Thanks John. Even more ridiculous is that Biden’s cadre demands that Texas coordinate the transfer. What a bold bunch of BS that is.
If I recall correctly, just the threat to send Haitian illegals to Washington DC by then-FL governor Jeb Bush was sufficient to convince BJ Clinton that he couldn’t apply the same standard to them as we do for Cubans (any reaching US land could stay).
I’m hoping that the next governor that considers doing this just does it quietly, and catches DC with its pants down.
you’re welcome
thx
