This is Abbott's version of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' plan to re-route illegal immigrants flown into Florida in the middle of the night directly to President Biden's home state of Delaware. That deep blue state's population is less than one million. This fiscal year alone (since October 1), there have been more than 300,000 known 'got-aways' along the Southern border, and counting. That's roughly one-third of Delaware's population entering the US illegally in the last six months alone -- and not being encountered by over-burdened US officials. The number of apprehensions of illegal immigrants during that same period? About one million. That's more people than Delaware has total residents.
And it's many more people than live in DC, which is where Abbott plans to send captured illegal immigrants, en masse. A caravan, if you will. The state has hired 900 buses to help with this task, which isn't nearly enough. Border Patrol believes that after Title 42 is uprooted by the Biden administration, they will be facing up to 18,000 illegal border crossers every single day. Washington Democrats are murmuring about 'concerns,' realizing how disastrously the coming spike is going to play for them politically -- but they're evidently unwilling do anything concrete about it:

Send a few busloads to Pelosi’s district as well.
Governor Abbott is a hero.
Very misleading!
Only if the Illegal Aliens want to.
It is a volunteer program.
I figure maybe one busload before a court places an injunction on Abbott’s plan.
Hell with the Democrat Judiciary, some court may just give them an injunction with out bothering with a lawsuit.
Who’d volunteer to go to DC? They’d have to pay me. A lot.
Election year rhetoric that if implemented will simply assist with the dispersal of illegal aliens.
Not so fast.
This is a VOLUNTARY program. He is telling these ILLEGAL INVADERS that it’s their choice to be bussed out of Texas.
Not at all what it appears to be.
I can see illegals volunteering for the free bus ride to the DC Metro area. Heck, spread a rumor that the first one who reaches a federal building gets a check for $1 million.
POLITICAL THEATER.
Do you want a hundred$$?
OK... Get on the bus
Fruitless... Some tax exempt donations funded “NGO” group will simply load them on another bus and ship them back to TX or somewhere else. But nice to see some resistance to the leftist open borders agenda.
Nice, I’m sure they’ll pan out and head north, like we don’t have enough garbage up here.....
I heard it’s volunteer also but why?
Just freakin’ ship ‘em out.
If he wasn’t running against Irish Bob, I’d be voting for someone else.
Correct. Abbott was grandstanding.
Give ‘em all a bologna sammich for the ride.....anyone who refuses it should be considered a muslim extremist and dealt with according.
This non story has been posted about every 30 minutes on FR since yesterday
Abbott will never do any such thing
The border agents are overwhelmed as it stands and if Abbott were to get enough buses down there for the hundreds of thousands of border crossers to board them, border agents would not possibly be able to usher them. It would be voluntary. For the illegal border crossers motivated by their desire to show DC all the bad effects of illegal immigration the numbers of which amount to an unprecedented invasion
For 250,000 border crossers that’s 5,000 buses.
If he gets even 100 buses who’s getting on and why?
DC cops will allow them to unload? Ok.
When has Abbott ever been to the border?
Why isn’t he charging Biden for ignoring and defying federal law?
What is he even talking about?
Why not stop them at the border, you RINO dolt!
