In less than a year-and-a-half, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has transported 85,400 illegal migrants to so-called sanctuary cities run by Democrats who don't want to adhere to federal immigration enforcement.
New York City has borne the brunt of Texas offloading the crisis to Democratic enclaves, with Abbott sending 32,200 to the Big Apple starting in August 2022, according to his office.
Chicago has seen the second amount of migrants sent from Texas with 24,500 migrants arriving over the last year and four months.

Love the shared pain approach. It is classic progressivism to push a policy that gets something they want by ignoring the pain inflicted on others. Abbott and DeSantis have made ignoring the pain (and cost) impossible and shined a spot light on dem hypocrisy. Considering the "85,000" is only a small percentage of the total illegal immigration the southern states have to face, the pompous dem mayors of the reception of Abbott's sharing of the pain seem especially whiney.
It would be interesting to pass a law that required all illegal immigrants to go to the sanctuary cities that "want" them and that the new arrivals would be required to STAY in those cities (and be the responsibility of those cities) until they legally became US citizens and proved they could support themselves.

I applaud Abbott for making it a national priority because if he had not done this then only the southern states would care! It is well past time for the democrats to help enforce immigration laws!

Abbott's efforts were significant but New York has been flooded by bus trips directly from the border and nightly plane loads dropped off at an airport in Eastern Pennsylvania and sent into New York. The city is doomed and from the complaints coming from Brandon in Chicago, they are in the same condition. Congratulations, liberal voters, you really did it to yourselves this time.

Despicable Joe and the communist demonrats are NOT "screwing up."
This is their plan - - and they are executing it quite well.
The only ones "screwing up" are the brain-dead Pubbies - - and that - - of course - - is to be expected.

These liberal weenies wanted these invaders in border states, I love seeing them squirm as they get a dose of their own medicine.

A buss load just got dropped off a mile or two from me in Northern Illinois. I'm supposed to be angry with Abbot? Or Costello for that matter. I look no further than my neighbors and family members who voted to flood the entire country with the security risks, and for our diminished standard of living. And the audacity for those not near the border to point the finger at border states who have and continue to bear the brunt is beyond shameful.

Amazing that such a small number has the Dem mayors screaming for relief. Think about what the border states have to deal with every single day.

Abbott needs to greatly increase the shipment rate to democrat cities. Over 300,000 illegal aliens crossed into Texas last month alone. Most will happily accept a free bus ticket to the democrat sanctuary city of their choice rather than being stuck living in the streets of Texas border towns.

I am just waiting for the first of 200 busses to arrive in Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach, DE. Hopefully this will not be long.

#4, great idea.
The illegal-loving Congress critters each need a few dozen busloads of illegals for their districts.

That’s what, maybe a week or two weeks of illegal immigrants? Consider, the average daily is 10,000 illegal immigrants. So in 2023, over 3.5 MILLION new welfare recipients flooded across the border.

85,000 over 18months. Biden ships 3-4 times that many around the Country every MONTH, and has for Three YEARS...and they want to blame Texas?
That is like complaining about someone not picking up their Chihuahua poop...from inside a cattle feed lot pen.
