Texas Governor Greg Abbott begins dispatching buses to take migrants from the southern border to Washington DC after warning Biden dropping Title 42 would spark a humanitarian crisis at border
DM ^ | 8 April 2022 | HARRIET ALEXANDER

Posted on 04/08/2022 8:58:14 PM PDT by conservative98

On Friday, Abbott said that his team had received multiple calls from communities in the Rio Grande Valley requesting buses to transport the migrants.

'Overnight there were multiple communities in the Rio Grande Valley asking us to provide buses for them, maybe even planes,' said Abbott.

He told Fox News hosts Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer: 'When they come across the border, it's not like they want to stay in the Rio Grande Valley.

'They are moving across the entire country.

'What better place to go to than the steps of the United States Capitol - they get to see the beautiful Capitol, and get closer to the people making the decisions.'

The scheme has been condemned by Democrats, with Sheila Jackson Lee, whose constituency encompasses parts of Houston, calling it an 'act of hysteria and grandstanding'.

She added: 'Those are not problem solving. They are adding to the grand march of hysteria.'

But Abbott insisted that it was legitimate.

'Joe Biden has refused to come to the border to see the chaos that he has created by his open border policies,' he said.

'So we are going to take the border to him by transporting the people that he is dropping off in these local communities in the state of Texas, and sending them to Washington by plane or by bus.

'What is happening is there is an increased number of people coming across the border. They, the federal government, are processing them and letting them loose.

'What has been happening so far is that these people are getting on buses and going to San Antonio, or Houston, or other places like that.

'So I think they just need longer bus rides.'

Seem to be a lot of freepers who don’t like this guy, but this is a pretty cool move. Drop’em off at the white house.

You know good and well that the first time one of the invaders dies for any reason, the media will interview all the relatives for sob stories on how cruel Texas was.

It is a bold move, however. Time will tell if it is a good move.

It’s a start.

Better to additionally put The Texas Rangers [and Tex. Nat. Guard] on the Border to repel invaders.

Directly at Pedo Joe’s house in NH or the house of the most useless idiotic VP in history.

The destination of the buses should be the affluent suburbs of DC.

The illegal alien has to agree to go.

Now what sort of encouragement is offered is another thing. Texas has been jailing them for trespassing so that may be the choice offered.

That is one looooong bus ride from the Texas border to DC. And sending them to DC, isn’t that classified as cruel and unusual punishment?

The problem is that the liberal democrat elites want more illegal aliens so they can get cheap servants, gardeners and nannies. It is the same reason that democrats wanted slaves.

Camped out in their lawn and backyard?

Be sure each mojado carries a two man dome with them on the bus.

I think a lot of Fr33pers are not conservative, Xtian, or GOP. They can always be predicted to show up at certain times on certain topics. Try not to get in an argument with someone who starts off dissing somebody but presents no basis for argument.

Like, they should say something interesting or at least non-hyper-opinionated: “Gov Abbot says posting snuff porn on the internet is wrong, but I can’t really see why that is. Can someone elucidate on this for me, please?”

Give them some spending money at the end of the trip.

Better yet, throw in a few Covid and TB cases. Biden lets them in so spread the joy to DC. This post may seem a little unethical but it is just redistributing the pain.
