Title 42, a public health order, has caused over 1.7 million migrants to get expelled from the United States in the name of controlling coronavirus.

Immigration advocates say Abbott, who is up for reelection, has favored fancy political stunts over any solution to the crisis at the border.

He uses human beings as political piñatas to score political points six months before his election.

It is mean-spirited to use refugees’ lives to manipulate public opinion.

Texas state officials say they intend to begin busing migrants who have been released from federal custody as soon as they can.

Abbott says moving migrants to D.C.

Would help those “whose communities are being overwhelmed,” hinting that the state would give the feds a taste of their own medicine.

We are sending them to the United States 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.

Officials expect that when Title 42 is lifted, as many as 18,000 migrants could enter the country each day.

Because Joe Biden is not securing the border, the state of Texas is having to step up.
