Don’t mess with Texas.
Lone Star State Governor Greg Abbott sent his first bus of illegal migrants to Los Angles Wednesday night; “LA is a city migrants seek to go to,” Abbott says, and he’s happy to facilitate that process.
“Texas’ small border towns remain overwhelmed and overrun by the thousands of people illegally crossing into Texas from Mexico because of President Biden’s refusal to secure the border,” Abbott said.
“Los Angeles is a major city that migrants seek to go to, particularly now that its city leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary city status. Our border communities are on the frontlines of President Biden’s border crisis, and Texas will continue providing this much-needed relief until he steps up to do his job and secure the border,” Abbott said.
Abbott shared the update on Twitter.
“Texas just dropped off the 1st bus of migrants in Los Angeles. Small Texas border towns remain overrun & overwhelmed because Biden refuses to secure the border. LA is a city migrants seek to go to, particularly now its leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary status,” Abbott tweeted.
