Gov. Greg Abbott has sent a slew of migrant buses to Chicago, New York City and Washington, D.C.haven’t won him any friends among rights groups and watchdogs. But on Thursday, he upped the ante once again.

The governor took a shot at Harris for recently claiming that the border is “secure,” adding: “Texas will continue sending migrants to sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C. until President Biden and Border Czar Harris step up and do their jobs to secure the border.”VP Harris claims our border is “secure” & denies the crisis.
