Asylum seekers disembark a bus in front of the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center in McAllen on Aug. 1, 2021., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that Texas will provide charter buses to border communities so migrants can be sent to Washington. D.C. where the Biden administration can better deal with them. Abbott's announcement is in response to the administration's decision last month to roll back a pandemic-era emergency health order known as Title 42 that allowed immigration authorities to turn away migrants at the border, even those seeking asylum. That order, which was put in place during former President Donald Trump’s administration, has allowed immigration authorities to manage the sometimes overwhelming number of migrants trying to enter the country.
In the midst of a reelection push, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has made border security a top priority. Last March, he sent National Guard troops and Department of Public Safety troopers to the border to curb illegal immgration into the state in an effort dubbed Operation Lone Star.
Last time a Republican put 'migrants' on buses, it turned out a good chunk of them were actual American citizens.
Migrants have to struggle all the way here then live in fear when they finally do arrive. America benefits greatly from these people staying “illegal” while living in the shadows. America had to find a new expendable human after the slaves were freed.
May they receive the humane treatment they deserve and won’t get under Abbott.
Good, they are illegals. You welcome from this immigrant that came here legally from South America.
You go abbott
They are not pawns.
Not a surprise that a GOP governor acts in such a racist way
gregs mother should have aborted him when she had a chance,,,
Seems similar to slave ships?!
They have to be somewhere …why not DC!?!
What an immature solution - who pays for the transportation and food?
That's being a complete asshole. No wonder God struck that MF! Yes, I said it.
Joining the dictator who runs Belarus in weaponising vulnerable people for political gain
KSAT uses word “Migrant” very loosely. I’d refer to them as Illegal Immigrants. But hey I’ve only lived in South Texas my Entire Life.
Nice!
Such an embarrassment
