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.

WATTA GUY.....
“Those Governors should be praised for sending them to the safety of ‘sanctuary cities.’”
Interesting correlation where it appears that NY being a liberal city/state can determine the best entry point into the US by immigrants since they have been doing it for over 100 years and say their area is not the place to start them out. I guess all this talk about Ellis Island and the proud giving state of New York and sailing past the Statue of Liberty being so heart warming is just of pile of fresh dung. Aren’t you proud New York?

I had run out of money,” said Alejos.
Lesbo couple....Yennifer Ortiz, who made the trip with her partner, Luis Moreno, and their 5-year-old daughter, Sofia...we had run out of money.
So the issue is they had no money no matter where they ended up. Not where they were dropped off.
Northern Virginia.
Every person entering the USA illegally and the Biden administration for not doing their duty in enforcing our laws to protect the citizens of this country from this invasion.
Why not, Manassas isn’t enough of a dump already.
AND SEND THE ILLEGALS BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM !!
But only havoc mild by comparison ...
Its 100X worse at the border of their states ...
Send a few busloads to Chappaqua, NY. Hillary will welcome them with open arms.
Legally, they can only transport/ship those who volunteer. They cannot be forcibly stuck on buses and shipped to another state per Federal law and you can bet that the Biden Administration is just itching for someone to do that so they can throw more Republicans in jail.
A few hundred into Martha’s Vineyard would do wonders for our psyche. Airport’s not big enough. Lear jets only.
This land called North America has been being invaded
since 1492 when Columbus sailed the Ocean blue.
The Catholic Church has alot to answer for concerning illegals.
They need to be taxed to pay for it.
If we shipped the to Europe they would be turned away for not being Muslim rapefugees.
Sorry, but if you enter the USA ILLEGALLY, you should have a bus ticket to your hellhole of a nation. If you came to freeload, go home. If you came to live the American Dream, ok, however, you need to learn English and be a citizen, and pay a fine of 1 million dollars and not be on welfare for 25 years. If you do go on welfare, deportation...
Texas and Arizona see an influx of 5 to 7,000 migrants a day.
That is the TOTAL number the Libs have received and they are still bitching.
What do they think sanctuary city means?
LOL!!! Good!!!
