FILE - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott speaks at a news conference in Austin, Texas on June 8, 2021. Texas has become the most populous state to ban gender-affirming care for minors. Abbott signed legislation on Friday, June 2, 2023, instituting the prohibition. – For more than a year, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been busing migrants from the southern U.S. border to places like New York, Washington and Chicago, prompting angry complaints from Democratic officials in those cities.
Those steps have included placing buoys — a “floating border wall” — in the Rio Grande to make it even harder to cross the turbulent river, where many migrants, including children, have drowned. Razor wire has also been uncoiled along the border. And the state has paid for many buses to transport migrants to New York and other big cities run by Democrats.
Abbott said unlike New York, which sometimes has advance notice of bus arrivals, his state gets no such warning. “What is going on in New York is calm and organized compared to the real chaos of what we see on the border,” he said, adding that New York is seeing only a fraction of the multitudes Texas has had to deal with over the years.
Other U.S. cities have also dealt with an influx of migrants trying to escape poverty, violence or oppression in their home nations.
