Texas Gov’s Plan to Bus Migrants to D.C. Backfires
Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan was intended to draw attention to what he and other Republicans describe as the failed immigration policies of President Joe Biden.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbot’s plan to rattle the Biden administration by busing migrants from the southwest border to the nation’s capital during a period of record crossings has resulted, instead, in appreciation from migrants who were greeted by volunteers who would help them reach their desired destinations around the country to await their day in immigration court, reports the New York Times.
Abbott’s plan, which was intended to draw attention to what he and other Republicans describe as the failed immigration policies of President Biden, appears to actually fit into Biden’s plan to work with state and local governments and nonprofits to provide support, assistance and transportation to move migrants out of border communities and toward their final destinations in a humane and orderly way. The 195 migrants that Texas has thus far sent to Washington are coming voluntarily and are only a fraction of the thousands crossing the border daily.
