Texas begins dispatching busses of migrants to US Capitol, feds respond

April 9, 2022 | | Print Article

Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s (R) plan to transport illegal immigrants from the Lone Star state to Washington, D.C. via bus is apparently already making an impact as local officials report that after some busses have been dispatched, “the federal government has stopped dropping migrants in their towns.”

Abbott had announced during a press conference on Wednesday that, as a result of President Biden’s ineffective leadership in securing the southern border and the ending of the expedited deportation measure Title 42 , he and his team had devised a plan to “help” the administration better address the crisis.

Abbott directed the Texas Department of Emergency Management (TDEM) to charter buses and send them to local communities overwhelmed with illegal immigrants to remove them from those areas.

“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,” Abbott said during the press conference.

Seth Christensen, chief of media and communications for TDEM, spoke with Fox News Digital to express the impact this policy was already having. “From the [Rio Grande Valley] to Terrell County,” he explained, “a large majority of the communities that originally reached out for support through this operation have now said that the federal government has stopped dropping migrants in their towns since the governor’s announcement on Wednesday.”

“Joe Biden has refused to come to the border to see the chaos that he has created by his open border policies,” Abbott told Fox News on Thursday. “So we’re gonna take the border to him.”

“What has been happening so far,” he went on, “is those people will be getting on buses and going to San Antonio or Houston or other places like that, and so I think that they just need longer bus rides.”

Abbott further relayed the “astonishing” figure presented by the Department of Homeland Security that expects “after Title 42 is removed to have as many as 18,000 people come across the border a day.”

“If you calculate that out on an annual basis, that’s gonna be more than 5 million people coming across the border illegally every year,” the governor detailed. “And those will be the ones apprehended. And so, this clearly is unprecedented. It’s a high volume that the United States and states like Texas are ill-equipped to be able to deal with.”

It is for that reason that Abbott has resorted to the measure of shipping the illegal immigrants out of the state.

“In the last 24 hours, TDEM has dispatched buses to areas where communities have expressed concerns about the federal government dropping off migrants and has the capability to send as many as is necessary to fulfill the requests from mayors and country judges,” Christensen reported.

These buses are capable of transporting up to 40 passengers at a time in addition to supplies needed for those individuals. While some have tried to dismiss the plan as a political move because the illegal immigrants have to “volunteer” to board the buses, Abbott explained anything short of their full cooperation would be considered kidnapping and Texas must do what they can because of Biden’s failings.

“The Biden administration has no idea about the chaos it has stoked. You think that Americans are angry about inflation right now?” Abbott asked. “Wait til they see the chaos that’s going to occur on the border because of Biden’s open border policies.”

  1. We should all chip in and help realign the Washington DC neighborhoods. They could use an extra million or so. Plus the Washington DC elites will benefit from cheap cash labor. AOC needs a house maid anyway

  4. Allowing illegals into the country is another move to destroy thus country. It will overload the system leading to a total collapse of the country. Thank you Sleepy Joe. Thank you Democraps.

  6. I hope this is going to be more then just symbolic. Abbott needs to haul them there by the thousands. And tear down that fence wall around the capital.

  7. Ahh the far left elites will fall apart having to deal with the chaos they have inflicted on the rest of us.

  8. Three cheers for Governor Abbott. It’s a pleasure to see a Governor who backs up what he says with actions.

    I hope that other Governors will display the same intelligent courage when dealing with the marxist federal government.

    States’ Rights now. 10th Ammendment forever.

    1. I hope they will too. A powerful message needs to be sent to slo joke that we aren’t putting up with this crap.

  9. Perhaps the verbal signaling that the destination could be filthy DC, maybe some will stay in Mexico or go back to the homes they abandoned.

  10. ALL Abbott has to do is OFFER 100 Dollars to ANY ILLEGAL to geton the buses and he’ll be FLOODED with people who WANT to go to DC !! NO KIDNAPPING required ! THEN get the Border Wall built along the Teas Border !! SURELY there are enough PATRIOTIC Construction companies around to get the job done at minimal cost or for FREE !! The material required is ALREADY THERE just waiting to be put in place !! GET IT DONE !

  11. “Wait til they see the chaos that’s going to occur on the border because of Biden’s open border policies.”

    The MSM will continue to ignore and purposely cover up the flood of illegal aliens into our country; as it is doing now.

  12. When pelosi heard about the busses coming their way, she gleefully introduced a bill to make English the second language for residents of D.C.

  13. Since the immigration issue is one cause by politicians failing to do the legislative job of immigration reform, targeting every congress members district for illegal immigrant drops is the logical choice.

  14. They should be deterred before they even cross our border. Flooding the Rio Grande River with alligators would be a start. We are being invaded. Where is our National Guard?

  15. So, aren’t the feds then kidnapping them to bus them to the cities of their choosing ? How is it any different. Just ask the illegals if they would like to go see the capital. If they say yes, there ya go!😁

  16. Manchu Joe is not displaying “ineffective leadership” with regards to the southern border. It is merely one method by which the leftists/Marxists are fulfilling their aim to turn this country upside-down and inside-out in destroying it.

  18. They need a better mode of transport than buses. Like giant cargo jets filled to the max! Then drop them from the sky right on the capitol!

    1. Anything on a flight path that looks like it is “aiming” for the Capital would be shot down well short of Huashengdun.

    1. Indeed, but much harder to ignore and not cover by the MSMDNC.

      However, they need to drop them off and then blow the bridges across the Potomac. Let them flood north and then the Democrat voters can take care of them.

  21. Send the Buses to Delaware, near Biden’s beach house….and Delaware’s capitol…Delaware’s people deserve to feel the pain of who they voted for all these years, a cheater, a grifter, a criminal, Joe Biden. who used his position for influence peddling.

  22. Offertheillegalaliens$100togetonthebus.Problemsolved.GivethemalltheaddressoftheWhiteHouseasarallypoint.

  23. Once these busses are catching up a little, there is opportunity to query other states for additional support to redirect Federally chartered busses to DC as well. I am fairly sure that Florida would kick in to make it happen.

    1. You are absolutely right. Biz Pac was doing fine with diqus and now the whole site is totally fouled with pop-up glitches. And they should have gotten that rotten Tommy’s Garage off the main site long ago.

  25. Take as many as possible to Washington but save thousands or more. to drop off at or near Biden’s beach house in Delaware so he can enjoy a little of the mess he has made.

  26. T’he’he’he’he,,,I love this move by Gov. Abbott and Gov. DeSantis. Let the swamp experience the consequences of their inaction.

  27. Is it just me or does anyone else experience their computer loading a video whenever they type an “f”?? Mine began to do that when this new comment Format began!

    1. Thanks. Didn’t know what was triggering that crap, but by gosh it was that letter. I guess I’ll have to avoid it i* possible.
      KAG Trump 2024 (or sooner)

    3. It is not just you as I have had the same problem, also can you tell me how you will know that I replied to your comment unless you just go back to see if you got any like or replies, there is no longer any notification system that I can see. I also have a problem where if I have a misspelled word and right click to see the correct spelling and click on the word the entire sentence disappears, this new format/system is broken but not sure that is not by design.

      Semper Fi 1969-1989

  28. “Title 42” should have NOTHING to do with STOPPING ILLEGAL INVASIONS!! WE HAVE A BORDER – or USED to!! We cannot take in all the world! I do pity the people who live in other Countries that are crapholes, but when enough get here – GUESS WHAT?? ANOTHER CRAPHOLE!! It’s bad enough we have insane democrats, but to allow or ENCOURAGE MILLIONS to come here bringing NO ONE KNOWS WHAT, how STUPID and DANGEROUS is that?? The dems have seen the writing on the wall – NOT THE BORDER WALL – and KNOW that their days in POWER are running out so what are they doing?? DESTROYING and CREATING a MESS so large that it will take a GENERATION or TWO to repair! Good luck Gov. Abbott and Gov. DeSantis!!

  29. What Democrats are doing to this country on every level is nothing short of Treasonous, and this is the first attempt to counteract their insanity-I am sure the Busses will not be allowed in the he City of OZ -it would be too embarrassing

    1. If the feds try to stop the buses, just open the doors and let them OUT! THEN look for the Feds to try to charge bus drivers with trafficking!!

  30. Perfect ! Put them in Delaware first , fkjbiden neighborhood,
    Martha’s Vineyard , Washington ,piglosi neighborhood,
    Beverly Hills ,and all around gated communities.
    With bill boards /. How’s this AHoles . Be care full what you wish for !
    You slimy bunch of stinking bastards .

  31. If any state who believes they are getting illegal aliens needs to ship them off. It’s bad enough that we here in South Texas have to put up with these illegal aliens, their handlers (the cartel), and such to create chaos and death in our state is beyond evil. If this WH, admin, Dems, Rinos, and judicial branches believe this is right, they are just as criminal as the illegal aliens, etc. Don’t forget about these corrupt charities giving these illegal aliens money and directing them on how to get across! The worst administration, and branches in the history of this country.

  32. How does one keep them on the bus all the way to DC? How do they get on the bus in the first place?

  33. What is the home address of Majoras, that piece of cuban shit? Drop them at his house.

    1. Bus them to fk Joe’s beach cottage . Spend few months at Bernie’s .
      Bring his good friend he always talks about ,Popeye and all the children .

  35. Only fair- DeSantis needs to do his part as well and send them to Biden’s home town in Delaware- serves them right – this admin are evil people –

  37. KEEP BUSSINGTHEM to DC !! Just don’t let ANYBODY in DC KNOW how many busses are actually being sent, much like Dementia Joe NOT telling Governors how many flights full of ILLEGALS are arriving in their State at 2 and 3 o’clock in the morning ! FOCK JOE BIDEN !

  38. It’s time the idiots in the White House feel the consequences of their advocacy.

  39. Abbott further relayed the “astonishing” figure presented by the Department of Homeland Security that expects “after Title 42 is removed to have as many as 18,000 people come across the border a day.”

    How many of these so called “MIGRANTS” are terrorist, drug and human traffickers, rapist, murderers, and much worse?
