Biden admin flying migrants from overwhelmed California to Texas after Gov. Abbott’s crackdown deterred crossings — at $80K per flight

The Biden administration has been flying migrants from California, which is being overrun, to Texas — where Gov. Greg Abbott’s tough border control measures have deterred illegal crossings into the state, The Post can reveal.

For the last month, pricey Border Patrol charter flights on commercial-sized planes have been hauling border crossers from San Diego to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, sources told The Post.

Sources say the flights, which have been operating every week, cost an estimated $80,000 and are known for being “extremely expensive.”

Photos also show dozens of migrants shackled by the ankles boarding the planes, which are operated by a contractor, in San Diego.

Migrant holding facilities in the San Diego region have been inundated and are at 150% capacity, according to internal federal data recently obtained by The Post — even after the Biden administration announced a new “crackdown” in June enabling the federal government to expedite the removal of asylum seekers who don’t have a credible claim of fear.

Border facilities in San Diego don’t have the operational capacity to deal with the numbers of migrants entering the region, and a number of loopholes in the Biden administration’s new border policies have made it tougher to deport certain people crossing the border.

Unaccompanied children, people with medical issues and migrants from so-called “hard to remove” countries (such as those which do not permit charter repatriation flights) can stay in the US, according to Border Patrol documents previously reported by The Post.

According to internal federal data, Border Patrol has released roughly 400 migrants into Texas’ Rio Grande Valley region, where the flights are landing, since the Biden administration’s asylum restrictions started on June 6.

Who says TX has to let them off the plane? Fine, TX can get them all the pizzas and McD's they want so the state can't be accused of starving them. Let the owner of the plane mull over that contract while his planes are being destroyed and force him out of Texas for trafficking illegals.

Arrest The Sniffer and the planes’ owner for trafficking children across state lines and bump it up to international trafficking.

If he’s going to dump them, Biden should be dumping them in fellow sanctuary state Massachusetts.Trump can’t be elected soon enough for Texas.
