Texas governor says he’s sent 95,000 migrants to ‘sanctuary cities’

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has no plans to stop sending migrants to other parts of the country. 

Abbott said in a post on X that Texas has already sent more than 95,000 migrants to “sanctuary cities,” including New York City, Chicago and Denver.

The Texas governor began busing migrants to other states in April 2022, saying that illegal immigration was overwhelming border towns. 

“Texans cannot continue to shoulder the burdens imposed by open-border advocates in other parts of the country,” Abbott said at the time. 

Abbott has been criticized for the lack of coordination with other leaders about the busing operation. 

The mayors of New York City and Chicago have since complained that their cities are being overwhelmed by the incoming migrants. They’ve also put pressure of President Joe Biden to provide more federal support to help care for the migrants.
