The first busload of migrants detained in Texas facilities has arrived in Washington, D.C.
For Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, their arrival represents a crucial first step in his plan to counter the Biden administration's border policies.
WATCH:
As Fox News reports:
Abbott announced last week that he was directing the Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) to transport migrants released from federal custody in Texas to the nation's capital and other locations outside his state.
The bus pulled up at approximately 8 a.m. local time, blocks away from the U.S. Capitol building. Fox News has learned that they came from the Del Rio sector in Texas, after coming to the U.S. from Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Upon the bus's arrival in Washington, D.C., individuals disembarked one by one except for family units who exited together. They checked in with officials and had wristbands they were wearing cut off before being told they could go.
According to TDEM, Abbott's plan is already working. The agency told Fox News on Monday that many of the communities that originally reached out for support – from the Rio Grande Valley to Terrell County – say the federal government stopped dropping immigrants in their towns since Abbott's announcement on April 6.
Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced plans to send illegal immigrants to D.C. after the White House revealed its plans to lift the CDC's pandemic-era border restrictions next month.
Known as Title 42, the emergency order gives U.S. Customs and Border Protection the power to expedite the deportation of illegal immigrants to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Besides prompting Republican criticism, the White House's plan has forced vulnerable Democrats to work across the aisle to delay the end of Title 42.
At least until after the midterms.
Meanwhile, a leaked planning document from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seemingly confirms that law enforcement agencies can't adequately handle the expected surge from rescinding the order.
Acknowledging the gravity of the situation, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich recently told Fox News that “if the Biden administration rescinds this policy, it will result in more than half a million people illegally crossing our border in one month.”
Yay for our Governor!!!
Now if this momentum would just continue in all the other states that are being bombarded with illegals! Another place would be Joe’s summerhome
This action by the Texas Gov is a slap in the face for Biden and he will be the next target on Biden’s hit list. Hopefully the Texas Rangers will protect him from the federal government thugs. Too bad all those other states don’t do the same thing with all the many thousands of illegals that Biden has dumped in cities around the country. It just makes you wonder how the left wing liberals can think that allowing all these illegals into our country unchecked can be right for this country. If we want these United States of America to survive we must purge all these democrats from our government. If we don’t this country will be destroyed by them.
I could not have said it better been than Bus Richards. I totally agree that we must purge democraps from Washington. Let them go back to their own districts – like Pelosi’s in San Francisco where the streets are filled with homeless people, litter, human wastes and business are all boarded up – yet the majesty lives behind 6′ high gates’/fences!
Sorry for misspelling your name Gus…but our Governor in Florida plans to do the same thing as Gov. Abbott. Word is out that Pelosi plans to build a home in our state. For what is worth, we do not want her here to destroy out state and citizens like she has to her own area. Some are saying that there will be a spiked fence erected around her to keep her in. No one wants her spreading lies here like she does in DC.
Mr. Abbott forgive me for ever doubting you. YOU are the man.
This is what is called representative government and should be used more often until Washington realizes that it is not an island of privilege and consensual corruption at the expense of the people.
Biden and the Dems are intent on breaking the nation. They WANT a crisis severe enough to justify transforming the USA into a PRC-like tyranny. far from suffering from it, they will benefit in every way.
Arriving Illegal Aliens (Criminal Invaders) are a threat to ALL of us in the entire nation. It’s shameful that the current administration is allowing this illegal action to take place. Even though it is good the Texas Governor is dropping them in DC, they will likely spread out all over the country. Biden is incompetent and needs to go! When the rule-of-law breaks down, the entire Republic is in jeopardy!
