The governor has defended the program as a way to show the country the border struggle Texas cities and towns are dealing with.
Over the last two years, Gov. Greg Abbott has sent more than 118,000 migrants who crossed the Texas border to cities around the U.S. run by Democratic mayors. Abbott has repeatedly defended the program as his way of showing the rest of the nation the struggle Texas cities and towns are dealing with as record numbers of people have crossed into the state. He put the blame at the feet of President Joe Biden , who he said has done little to slow the flow of illegal immigration into the state.
Texas is busing far fewer migrants to Democratic-led cities, state figures show “Until Biden secures the border to stop the inflow of mass migration, Texas will continue this necessary program,” Abbott said in a letter last year to Chicago officials defending his actions. Here's what to know about the program. When did the busing start? Abbott in April 2022 announced he would begin busing migrants who volunteered to go to Washington, D.C.
