Texas sent around 100 migrants to Chicago on Wednesday, as Republican Governor Greg Abbott expands his effort to push responsibility for border crossers to his Democratic political opponents.
The buses arrived at Chicago's Union Station at around 7:30pm - after it was revealed that Texas has already spent $12million on taking migrants to New York City and Washington DC.
Among the 100 or so people who were on the buses, around 20 to 30 were small children. Pregnant women and children were among the busload. The migrants said they were from Venezuela.
Texas has bused more than 7,000 migrants to Washington DC and New York City since April,

And the illegals are thanking Abbott for the free ride into the interior of the US. How many of those illegals do you think are remaining in NYC and DC? It's a cheaper bus ride from DC to NC than from Texas to NC. Their illegal cousins already here has better access to them than risking their own deportation (sure they have nothing to worry about) by returning to Texas to meet them. Use biden funds to bus them back over the border. How about that?

He should send them all to one "sanctuary" city, so they get a taste of what the border states are going through.

Send them to DE and Martha's Vineyard. A few busloads will make a BIG difference there.

It's a shame they can't be shipped to some isolated island in Alaska - that has no other boat service. Let them spend a winter in Alaska without government benefits and see how quickly they want to walk home.

Just 100?!
Dont be so admiring of Abbott. As soon as he is reelected he will forget to send buses and tell fellow Texans to suck it up.

Venezuela is such a hellish dictatorship I can see why these people risk everything to make this trip. The correct solution is to fix Venezuela, not bring their entire population here.

$12 million (not that I believe that figure) is pocket change compared to what it would cost Texas to keep them and provide for all of their needs. Keep it up, governor.

On Twitter last night, the anti-Abbott crowd was decrying his latest racist (no idea how this is racist), dangerous (okay, Chicago is dangerous), anti-Christian (that was tossed around a lot) move. In the real world, last night's local news story on the "migrants" included a video of them on CTA buses happily waving to the news cameras as they were being driven to a homeless shelter.

Governor Abbott needs to be sending a fleet of buses to Wilmington, Delaware so those fine folks there can enjoy the increased diversity and multiculturalism.

$12 million? WIth his vast knowledge of transporting minors is Hunter Biden on the board of the bus company? And would it be $2.2 million less if "The Big Guy" wasn't getting his cut.

Busing those migrants to their preferred cities is only the humane thing to do. Do you want to force those families with small children to walk all the way to Chicago?

Isn't Chicongo a sanctuary city? Unload them in the Magnificent Mile, the North Shore, Lincoln Park, Evanston, Wilmette, Barrington and places like that.
