Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced that his state is ready to begin transporting illegal aliens to Washington D.C. weeks before the anticipated arrival of hundreds of thousands of migrants at the border when Title 42 is lifted.
In a Wednesday afternoon news conference, the Lone Star State Republican took the bull by the horns when he demonstrated strong and decisive leadership with tough new actions to protect Texans including the use of charter buses to relocate the surplus of illegals to an area where its part-time political residents have been their greatest champions.
Abbott says the migrants will be dropped off at the steps of the U.S. Capitol. He is fed up with the federal government mass releasing migrants into small TX cities. State officials say they are prepared to activate up to 900 buses, or “as many as needed”. @FoxNews

“To help local officials, whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration, to Washington D.C.,” Abbott said.

“We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” he added.
Governor Abbott also tweeted, “While Biden continues to FAIL America with his open border policies, Texas is taking UNPRECEDENTED action to secure our state & country.”
He noted that there will be “Enhanced vehicle inspections @ points of entry” along with “Charter buses to send illegal immigrants to DC” as well as “Boat blockades” and perhaps more importantly, “More to come.”

The reaction to Abbott’s action drew raves on Twitter including from Texas Senator Ted Cruz who hailed the “EXCELLENT ideas” and added. “But Texas shouldn’t ONLY send charter buses of illegal aliens to DC. I filed federal legislation to ALSO send them to…” followed by a list of preferred areas of residence and leisure of the wealthy Democrat elite including, Martha’s Vineyard, MA Palo Alto, CA and Rehoboth Beach, DE, the location of Biden’s beach retreat.
EXCELLENT ideas. @GregAbbott_TX
But Texas shouldn’t ONLY send charter buses of illegal aliens to DC. I filed federal legislation to ALSO send them to:
– Martha’s Vinyard, MA
– Nantucket, MA
– Palo Alto, CA
– Greenwich, CT
– Scarsdale, NY
– Newport, RI
– Rehoboth Beach, DE https://t.co/0MK7fLfGaA— Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) April 6, 2022
Republican congressional candidate Irene Armendariz-Jackson, who hopes to flip quirky former Dem Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s old seat this year, chimed in with her own idea.
“Send the buses to the Democrats Congress member’s houses staring with @SpeakerPelosi,” she tweeted.

YES!! A GOVERNOR WITH A BACKBONE!!!
Texas Gov. @GregAbbott_TX/ Texas will be sending charter buses of illegal migrants to Washington DC!

The point he is making is that Texas does not have the resources to handle this continuous influx of migration so DC can figure out how to feed, house and provide medical care for 100k+ a month because they’re doing nothing to stop it. Make it their problem. Agree 100%

While there were overwhelmingly positive reviews from conservatives, Abbott’s announcement was a burr under the saddle for perpetually aggrieved leftists with Rolling Stone magazine whining that he has “staked his claim as the most evil governor in America” in just one example of the weeping and gnashing of teeth following the breaking of the news, and the squealing will only reach a higher pitch in the coming days.
According to a news release from the Texas governor’s office, “The State of Texas will continue to evaluate the threat posed by the end of Title 42 expulsions and announce additional action in the coming weeks to respond to the expected surge in illegal immigration.”

DC? Even illegal immigrants have to know that DC is a Deep State Toxic Septic Sewer System. Who wants to live in DC?
If anyone thinks that anything substantial will result from this latest rhetoric, he needs to check his brain function.
Not that I’m opposed to the concept in the least, but I know better than to think this will be carried out in any way that is positive for either Texas or the USA.
I am quite confident that I will be proven right about this – but, if the first 900 buses drop their quarry off at the Capitol I will gladly issue a retraction and cheerfully eat my helping of crow – since I am a Cajun, we eat them, anyway, preferably in a jambalaya.
Believe it when I see it!
This assumes that the swamp denizens won’t come down hard on the companies that own the buses: charge the drivers with “interstate transportation”, ban the companies from ever again providing service that goes into or across ajoining states, and who knows what else the Feds already have obscure rules or regulations that they can wield?
Gotta love Texas. Please do it.
Fk the fkjbiden criminal administration, you cock wallopers.
Republican politicians are known to talk a lot. Action speaks louder than words.
I wish the moron in chief and his bimbo VP did a whole lot less.
The problem will be keeping them on the bus for the whole trip…..buses will need escorts and stop only at designated areas. I would suggest friendly state Sheriff’s as escorts. Cape Cod is also a nice spot…lots of rich libs there in the summer available to buy them food and provide shelter. If possible drop some in the home of Stacey Abrams in Georgia….with gasoline so expensive cheap labor will be needed to pick cotton and peanuts.
Clothe them in bright pink jumpsuits before sending them on their way. That way they would be instantly identifiable if they attempt to “jump ship”.
I can’t think of a better place to dump them off at, except maybe in Biden’s backyard.
If he actually goes thru with this then BRAVO but I think it’s just hot air….useless threats not being backed up by action. He’s just flapping his gums….he ain’t got the balls to do it
And yes send them to the neighborhoods of say…..Adam schiff, Jerry nailer, of course Nancy Pelosi, Adam kizinger, Liz Chaney Chuck Schumer, Eric swallwell…..you get the idea
EVERY Border State should do this!! In the end it would be cheaper than all the costs of housing, feeding, and BURYING their victims!
About time. And give them some signs begging for handouts, and a bullhorn…
All bark & no bite? we will soon find out.
Well, let’s see if it happens. He is saying for months now they are building the wall too and so far nothing. This, if he goes for it will backfire! Why? Because he announced that is what he is going to do. Does anyone really thinks Biden and company will not take actions to prevent this? He should have kept his mouth shut and just do it! Good luck, though!
Bravo Governor, I commend you and your associates.
Long time coming . Fjbiden will never do anything about the wall .
Send tents for these illegals to camp at Joe’s home ,areas all over Delaware
At sidewalks, parks , front lawns . .
Martha’s green yard , cape cod .
The White House , by the monuments , bathe in the reflection pool .
Send them to piglosi, BBQ pork in her driveway .tents on her side lawns .
Send them all like the clusterfk did to the entire Usa .
Don’t stop sending them , this will be a movement, keep them coming !!!!!!!!!!!!
Mid Terms 2022 the house/senate.
President Trump 2024.
Can’t compete with these awesome posts. All are spot on
He should also send some of the illegals to Pelosi’s home. The Mexican State of California is building more housing for thousands of homeless so they can have some too.
I do not believe that will ever happen. The feds will somehow stop that because that would clearly illustrate the problem, and the Dems and their corrupt and colluding media – could not stand such a blatant example right on the Capitol’ door step. What democrats are doing is treasonous and in violation of their oath of office.
He should not have said anything – just do it. They will not put up all the stops not to let this happen! Timing is everything and I feel he blew it.
I hope it’s for real not just gobblygook. I love it if they drop some at ocasio’s home and the rest at the squad hags homes.
She would probably claim them as dependants on her tax form.
It’s about time. I’ve been saying they need to do this for a looong time!
BRAVO, Governor!! Bravo!
“… his state is ready to begin transporting illegal aliens to Washington D.C….”
Should have been doing that since the border was thrown wide open in 2021.
They MESSED WITH TEXAS long enough!
F J B !
One year of a completely destructive Beijing Biden administration, $8 trillion dollars added to the national debt, stop of oil pipeline & building of the wall, open borders that have allowed almost 3 million people to trespass into our country. Finally, one Republican has adopted the advice of so many people who insisted that illegals be shipped away from the border to Democratic cities & states.
D.C. will send them right back to Texas.
🎵 The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round🎵
The swamp at the Capital will bring in the national guard to protect them from the undocumented Border trespassers they couldn’t care less about it.
Could he drop a few busloads off at pelosi’s, shumer’s, DOC’s and a few other responsible democrats who have shown sympathy for illegal aliens breaking the law.
I hope Abbott keeps his word but Im not holding my breath
He is a politician & they all flap their gums, with no intentions. Many major TX cities have been saturated with people south of the border, now they all vote Democrat & disproportionately lead the state in all of the negative, society behavior.
This sounds good on the surface BUT in the official wording of Gov. Abbott’s declaration he says the illegal aliens being bused to DC is voluntary. Oh, sure, after traveling to the US would you like us to put you on a 20 hour bus ride or would you rather stay here? This is smoke and mirrors not decisive action. Yes, I’ll vote for Abbott in November but this is the kind of double talk that made me and others vote for either LT C Allen West or Don Huffines in the Texas primary.
With greasy, slithering snake politicians, regardless of the party, you must always read between the lines.
While I applaud Greg Abbott’s efforts and intentions, I will believe it when I see it. No doubt when the White House receives word of this, they will sic their proverbial knuckle-draggers to pay a visit to Gov. Abbott who will cave. Remember when Abbott said he would finish the Wall?
Excellent. If Biden wants them let him have them right in his backyard.
It’s about time! Washington elitists caused this problem, let them deal with it.
Love this!! Just DO it!! Stop freaking talking about it!
I totally agree with your comment and really think that he should have said nothing and just executed his plan, by talking about it he will give the Biden Administration a chance to try and block the plan.
Semper Fi 1969-1989
DO it NOW!
When are they going to begin would be my first question. Why can’t these republicans act, instead of announcing in a press conference. Just do it NOW!
Exactly. One bus load ought to be enough to get them to return to Trump’s border policies.
Everyone says he should have kept quiet and just done it in the middle of the night like Biden does. I think the reason is to threaten the Biden administration to rethink the title 42 so he won’t have to do it. No one wants to use these people as a deterrent but sadly it may come to that. And of course they have placed themselves in this position. Hummm, where do ya think they will house them? Perhaps in the same place they housed our National Guard? On concrete.
Brilliant!
Will the Media Spin be another Insurrection..Lie?
Rather then the capitol, drop them at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Have a couple of thousand surrounded the White House!!
The White House is a Giant Cage. How Ironic…
From a strategic point it likely wasn’t the smartest idea to ANNOUNCE busing these AZZHOLES to DC ! Looks like Abbott is using this to et votes. I’m ALL for busing them to DC but he SHOULD have done it the same way that Dementia Joe does……..In the middle of the night with NO advanced notice !
I hope Abbott does what he says.
These illegal immigrants should be ashamed of themselves. Nothing but a bunch of pathetic cowards running away from their countries and expecting other people to take care of them. F’ing pathetic…
Great idea but it is not going to work. The Biden administration will send in the National Guard to keep the buses out of DC. In addition, from Texas to DC is a long bus ride. Buses will have to stop along the way for potty breaks and how many illegals will escape. The illegals will probably hijack the buses. Better to fly them into DC as the Biden administration has been doing with other cities.
It’s worth a try. This regime is totally deaf to the problem they are causing.
This will be a great move by Gov. Abbott. I can’t wait to see the reaction in Washington. I just wonder why it took so long for the decision and why there aren’t more governors reacting the same way!!
Abbott is brillient and this could be fun as well as effective! Send a few 1000 to Capitol, then a few 100 to each Libocrat….
They should have not said a word and just did it. Dropped them off in the middle of the night or early in the morning before our useless leaders from both parties arrive at work.
Great idea. a
