Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to bus illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., and leave them on the steps of Congress is one of those effective and amusing moves that, pointedly, is no joke. It’s a deft political ping-pong shot returning the ball to President Joe Biden, who served the problem at Texas in the first place. As the Washington Examiner reported, Biden’s derelict immigration and border security policies hit Texas harder than anywhere. The state received more than half of the 2 million-plus illegals who crossed the southern border in 2021.
Abbott has 900 buses, capable with just one journey each of dropping some 4,500 migrants on Biden’s doorstep, although as no migrant will be forced to take the trip, the number will presumably be lower than that. Abbott placed blame accurately, saying, “We are sending them to the United States's capital, 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.”...........
