WASHINGTON — Lever Alejos arrived in the nation’s capital last week on a bus with dozens of fellow Venezuelans who had journeyed more than 1,300 miles from their broken country to the United States.
After being processed by U.S. border authorities, the migrants were released into South Texas, free to go where they wanted. Alejos, 28, said he was offered two options: a $50 bus ride to San Antonio or a free bus ride to Washington, D.C., paid for by the state of Texas. “I wanted San Antonio, but I had run out of money,” said Alejos.
Since April, Texas has delivered more than 6,200 migrants to the nation’s capital, with Arizona dispatching an additional 1,000 since May.
Many Venezuelans have said they made the journey to the United States because they believed that the country’s doors were open.
“On TikTok we saw that people were easily getting into the United States,” said Yennifer Ortiz, who made the trip with her partner, Luis Moreno, and their 5-year-old daughter, Sofia.
By the time they reached Texas, they had no money and were happy to board a free bus to Washington. “They told us that here, there would be people to receive us and help us,” Ortiz said.
When their bus pulled in around 8 a.m. on a recent day, volunteers directed them to a respite center run by a church, where they bathed and received a fresh change of clothes. They spent their first night on park benches, and since then have been bouncing between the homes of Americans, they said.

Boo-hoo-hoo...
Bwahahahahaha
Hey, why should we Texans have all the fun?
I’m all broke up about it.......sniffle.
7,200 is but a drop in the bucket.
It needs to be 10x more.
Yeah, those mean old Republican governors.
If the Fed Gov did its job and followed its own laws in the first place, we wouldn’t have “migrants” (the NYT term) to ship around the country. Problem solved.
Talk about complaining about being an orphan after murdering your parents!
Enjoy the invader invasion, Dem cities! It’s LONG overdue that you enjoy what you have inflicted on the rest of the country.
Martha’s Vineyard needs more illegal aliens. Dump them on the Obamas.
I’d go for 100X.
I enjoy positive articles in a sea of negativity.
5.56mm
But not a word about Biden flooding cities with illegals delivered unannounced in the dead of night on airplanes.
Great stuff, but 7200 total is not enough. I’d like to see at least 100k dumped in DC with similar numbers sent to NY, Maryland and Virginia.
Hey they’re a sanctuary city......suck it up Aholes
Those Governors should be praised for sending them to the safety of “sanctuary cities”.
And delaware
Be sure to re-elect Amnesty Senators Hoeven and Rubio..../s
That medicine don’t yesterday so good when you have to take it yourself does it.
I’d recommend Martha’s Vineyard!
The real news of course is: “Biden Causes Havoc by Flooding GOP Red States with Migrants, NYT’s Attempts to Cast Biden as the Victim”
Bowser and Adams want to build border walls around their cities now
