Abbott To Drop Off Undocumented Texas Migrants At US Capitol
On Wednesday, Governor Greg Abbott said that he will ship undocumented Texas migrants to the steps of the US Capitol in Washington DC. The state will provide charter buses to drop off the migrants. There, they will become the federal government’s problem and not theirs.

Abbott To Drop Off Ilegal Texas Migrants To Washington DC
Texas border checkpoints are currently struggling to manage the influx of migrants attempting to enter the US. State officials are bracing for a surge of migrants once again as Title 42 expires next month.
Reportedly, President Joe Biden’s administration has no plans to renew the Title 42 health order. Slated to expire on May 23, this Trump-era order uses the shield of COVID-19 prevention to expel migrants at the southern border.
Governor Abbott To Release Texas Migrants to Washington
The anticipated rush of new Texas migrants will once again strain resources in the Lone Star state. This is why Republican governor Abbott decided to take drastic steps to get Washington’s attention.
His plan is for the state to provide charter buses to pick up Texas migrants from overwhelmed local communities. Then, they will drop off the migrants at the steps of the US Capitol in Washington DC.
“We are sending them to the United States Capitol,” Abbott said. There, the federal government can address the needs of the “people that they are allowing to come across our border”.
Abbott also noted that cities along the Texas-Mexico border already bus migrants to San Antonio. “So I said I got a better idea. As opposed to busing these people to San Antonio, let's continue the ride all the way to Washington DC,” he said.
Up to 900 Buses
Meanwhile, W. Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management, said he will follow Abbott’s directive. His agency will “use as many buses as we need” to get the job done.
Previously, Kidd said that they used up to 900 buses for evacuations. Abbott also ordered the state Department of Public Safety to conduct “enhanced” inspections of vehicles entering from Mexico. This ensures that residents get spared from unsafe vehicles or drivers.
In addition, Abbott announced additional moves to deter the flow of illegal migrants into Texas. This includes installing razor wire in low-water crossings.
Later this week, the Texas National Guard will start phase one of its “mass migration” rehearsals. This is in preparation for a potential surge of migrants at the border.
Meanwhile, Maj. General Thomas Suelzer, the Texas National Guard adjutant general said they’re ready. “If you're a caravan organizer and you think you're going to overwhelm or overrun a port of entry, we'll be there waiting for you.”
Increased Lighting in Heavy Traffic Areas
Abbott will also install additional lighting in areas used frequently by human smugglers. The project will get funds from local taxpayers.
“Securing the border does not come cheap. Securing the border would cost Texas nothing if the federal government was doing its job,” he added.
“But because Joe Biden is not securing the border,” Texas will have to step up. Instead, we’ll have to “spend Texas taxpayer money doing the federal government's job.”

For years I’ve been saying that these illegals should be delivered to washington d.c. and kept there. The plutocrats and lawyers who infest washington should be forced to enjoy the products of their fecklessness and duplicity.
drop them off in d.c. and joe blows home town and the democraps that run their states and cities. stop funding for them and get rid of the democraps in office. they want them here so bad let them take care of them
Koodos to Abbott, I really hope he truly does it. Love the idea of the RATS having them at their front door. Enough is Enough!! So tired of the SWAMP, people need to stop voting for these idiots. All they do is blow smoke up your butt, but they are only out for themselves and we LEGAL AMERICANS are pawns in this sick game of theirs.
I PRAY TO GOD EVERYDAY THAT JOE THE HO, KAMALA HARRYASS, AND NANCY POLECAT STINKY ALL DIE OF A HEART ATTACK AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME.
THEN MAYBE AMERICA WOULD WAKE UP AND SEE THERE REALLY IS A “GOD” AND START TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF THE STINKING DUMB-O-CRATS BEFORE GOD DOES SOMETHING BAD TO AMERICA BECAUSE OF ALL THE “SIN”!!!
LIKE YELLOWSTONE FINALLY ERUPTING AND TAKING OUT ALL OF NORTH AMERICA!!!
OR CHINA INVADING OUR HOMELAND!!!
I SAID IT BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN “FUCK JOE THE HO BIDEN”!!!
“WAKE UP AMERICA”!!!!
This is funny, but don’t forget Abbott is just another globalist who won’t denounce Klaus, or his goals for a NWO. Just like the other rino in AZ. Why dodn’t he jist put the guard there when he said he was. Theater.
Those two states are the next blue states, and they seem to not even be aware of how close it is to being blue. Oh well, by 2030 red and blue won’t even matter!
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

This idea is wonderful except for one thing. Buses have to stop every so often for food, restroom breaks, driver changes, fueling, and so forth. It’s a long ride from anywhere in Texas to the steps of the Capitol building in Washington DC. How do they plan to control the riders so that they don’t get lost at any of those stops? It would be far better to charter trains with Washington Union Station just down the hill from the Capitol building. They could be locked into a train with all necessary facilities and meals served. This would have been easier back in the days when there were lots of passenger trains and equipment, but even today it could be worked out somehow. Where’s Amtrak when you need it?
