From your link....

But soon after the press conference, Abbott’s office released more details about the plan that struck a notably softer tone.

The governor’s office clarified that the program is completely voluntary for migrants and would happen only after they had been processed and released by the Department of Homeland Security. And in addition to buses, Abbott also ordered the state to charter flights to transport migrants to the nation’s capital. The migrants would have to show documentation that they had already been processed by DHS.

You can’t force people on to a bus obviously, just have to explain the many benefits of moving to D.C.

Maybe Abbott will attract a few illegals that want a vacation or maybe visit their cousins in D.C., with complementary free transportation of course. Complements of the U.S. tax paying suckers.

Gak~

Charge them with vagrancy, trespassing, etc. Give them the choice of DC or the Chain Gang.

Unwilling transportation across state lines = Federal kidnapping charge, Federal human trafficking charges. Want to guess the chances the current Feds would press charges?

Whatever happens to them, wherever they go in the U.S., the American citizen loses. His idea sounds cute, but solves nothing.
