Gov. Greg Abbott says Texas intends to send migrants to Washington, D.C. on charter buses
of up to 18,000 migrants being taken into custody each day, Axios' Stef Kight reports.
Abbott said the state has upward of 900 buses at its disposal to reroute migrants to Washington, and he called the possible influx in illegal immigration "unprecedented and dangerous.""To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington, D.C.
"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," he added. Asked where in Washington, D.C., migrants will be taken, the Republican governor said, "The first location will be the steps of the United States Capitol.”
