Republican National Convention delegates erupted in applause last month when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott doubled down on his commitment to send buses full of migrants to blue cities.
“We have continued busing migrants to sanctuary cities all across the country,” Abbott told the cheering crowd in Milwaukee. “Those buses will continue to roll until we finally secure our border.”
But the buses have not been rolling on a consistent basis for months because of a steep drop in the number of migrants apprehended at the southern border, according to officials and migrant shelter operators in Texas and in a half-dozen big cities across the U.S.
White House officials and immigration advocates attribute the slowdown to an enhanced crackdown on U.S.-bound migrants by Mexican authorities and Biden’s executive action in June restricting who can claim asylum at the southern border. A spokesman for Abbott acknowledged that there were now fewer migrants to bus out of state,
We need to be especially aware of those sneaky "whaddaboudisms"!!!

But are the farmers in Texas happy they have less migrants to exploit?

The guy is never happy, doesn't matter if the glass is half full or half empty.
Of course, that pretender Abbott is simply trying to get involved in the presidential election by hoping to make some so-called 'noise' over the border. But, immigrants are not showing up to play his stupid press game.
Exactly!
Abbott and the Republicans have a problem.
I don't know how effective this would be, but I've had an idea. Since Abbott isn't getting enough illegal migrants, perhaps he could get some in from another country.
There are some other countries that are unhappy with migrants-- England has too many migrants.
And Texas lots of oil money-- perhaps Abbott could pay England to export some of their excess migrants to Texas-- then Abbott could have enough to send some of them across the border!
The migration shifted from Texas to Arizona and California months ago.
.
Are you saying that Arizona and California are not border states?
(I don't blame you-- that's a common misapprehension. But check the map-- you may be surprised!)
The article and all the bullshit is about Texas' share.................SMH
How about importing Hamas militants trying to get away from being hunted down by the Israelis - all the campus protesters could use some GENUINE examples of the terrorists they're supporting and cheering for.
Don't worry, more are coming. They just need a little time to get here.
Just think, Biden and Democrats could have avoided all of this if he had just kept Trump's border policies in place; or simply written his EO/EA to restrict border crossings as soon as he took office.
Don't worry; Kamala is more concerned about making "illegal immigrant, illegal alien, and radical Muslim terrorist" illegal to say; than actually securing the border.
No one is saying "Don't worry".
FACT: Trump promised to complete the wall; He didn't.
FACT; trump said Mexico would pay for it. They refused.
The migrant crossings have been occurring for decades, this is nothing new, even Reagan gave amnesty to over 2 million undocumented immigrants back in the 1980's. The fact is the number of undocumented immigrants has very little to do with any of these deplorables paychecks or lives in any way other than they get red in the face in anger at the thought of some brown people coming to "their" America or they hear someone speaking a language their tiny brains get confused listening to, so it's become a great marketing campaign for scum bag bigoted Republicans to rile up a base of the most ignorant voters in our nation.
Biden didn't say or do anything. Just turned his back on the problem and ignored.
A minimal example of "Trump Truths".
Fake news. Perhaps there has been a bit of slowdown, but it's too little and too late in the game to pretend that millions of unvetted and unvaxxed illegals did not pour over the border all during Biden's term. Hundreds of these "newcomers" have been welcomed here in Denver by our latest stupid Dem mayor...making the affordable housing situation worse.
Ah yes, the favorite defense of conservatives faced with inconvenient truths. Deny, deny, deny...
