Abbott’s Buses of Illegals Arrive in DC
By: Will
This is great news. Dumping them right in front of the NBC and Fox Washington DC buildings. This is a great way to call attention to what let’s go Brandon is doing to America by not enforcing us border and immigration laws. Impeach #46!
Texas Governor Abbot announced that he’d send illegal immigrants from Texas to DC as a protest against the Biden regime. Well, while many claimed he was bluffing and that it wouldn’t actually happen, they were just proven wrong: the first bus arrived in DC and offloaded the illegals it was carrying. Watch that here:
Now, it would obviously be better if they were just deported. But, because handling illegal immigration is a federal responsibility rather than a state one, Abbot has no authority under which he could deport the illegals.
So, doing something that Republicans have been joking about for a while now, Governor Abbott actually did it and shipped illegals from Texas to D.C. and his pledge was fulfilled. As a reminderm Governor Abbott said :
“With the Biden administration ending Title 42 expulsions in May, Texas will be taking its own unprecedented actions this month to do what no state in America has ever done in the history of this country to better secure our state, as well as our nation.
“To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed with 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. ”
So, now he’s actually taken action on that and the buses are offloading the illegals. Announcing that in a Wednesday morning statement, Governor Abbott said :
“ Texans demand and deserve an aggressive, comprehensive strategy to secure our border—not President Biden’s lackluster leadership.
As the federal government continues to roll back commonsense policies that once kept our communities safe, our local law enforcement has stepped up to protect Texans from dangerous criminals, deadly drugs, and illegal contraband flooding into the Lone Star State.
Texas will always be a law-and-order state, and I thank our law enforcement officers who have answered the call to protect and serve their fellow Texans in the federal government’s absence in securing our border. ”
Indeed. And that fight over bearing the burden is a big one; many contend that in opening up the border to illegals, Biden has placed a crushing burden on the backs of those border states that have to deal with the issue and handle the illegals. Now, by shipping them to D.C., Abbot is shoving that responsibility back toward the feds.
However, Governor Abbott is also doing what he can to handle the problem, as was announced along with his statement on the buses. According to the statement, the actions he’s taken so far include :
- Signing laws that provide $3 billion in funding for Texas’ border security efforts
- Launching Operation Lone Star and deploying thousands of National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers
- Arresting and jailing illegal migrants trespassing or committing other state crimes in Texas
- Allocated resources that include recently acquired 1,700 steel panels to building the border wall in Texas
- Signing a law to make it easier to prosecute smugglers bringing people into Texas
- Signing 15 laws cracking down on human trafficking in Texas
- Signing a law enhancing penalties for the manufacturing and distribution of fentanyl
- Issuing a disaster declaration for the border crisis
- Issuing an executive order preventing non-governmental entities from transporting illegal immigrants
- Taking legal action to enforce the Remain in Mexico in Texas
- Taking aggressive action to secure the border as President Biden ends Title 42 expulsions, including enhancing vehicle inspections, busing unlawful migrants to Washington, D.C., and creating boat blockades along the Rio Grande River
Where things go from here is unclear. We’ll see if the buses keep shipping illegals to DC and, if so, if the stunt forces Biden to act and deal with the issue.
What a great way for Abbott to deal with the Orwellian Let’s go Brandon regime’s actions!
More paper and ink...
Not Texas' jurisdiction,
Whatever...I drive in and out of Brownsville and El Paso frequently and have never been stopped. Guess I'm the wrong profile.
I hear that caused a huge traffic jam which will raise the prices of imported goods ... let's go Abbott! Did Abbott inform his fans that the only things his 'inspectors' could freely inspect were tire pressures and the like? Breaking the seal to inspect the cargo requires a heap of paper work.
Yep.
Go through the most efficient border control system of dogs and xrays, then get in line for the amateurs in the
National Guard or DPS to repeat it.

Excellent link!
Here in El Paso, I live 1/2 mile from the border. I can see the fence at the end of the street. I have yet to see a crisis at the end of the street, or any other part of the border.
El Paso is far from the epicenter of the mass border crossings your President is inciting.
It seems that Texas has leveraged its actions to get an agreement from the governor of the bordering Mexican state to effectively police its border from their side.
Whether you like it or not, Biden is your President, whether you voted for him or not.
And your ASSumption that I voted for Biden is nothing if not ignorant and condescending.
As for the epicenter, is that the only part you are talking about? And if so, where exactly is that epicenter? None of the articles I have read make that distinction.
Non Texans cannot appreciate the length of a 1200 mile long border
where immigration has always been an issue shifting from one spot to another.
of course, in the past it was kick out as many Native Americans as possible,
hunt down the Chinese and kill them, while at times welcoming our Mexican
brothers and sisters as valuable agricultural worker sometimes.
Under Woodrow Wilson, the US Army and the Texas Rangers changed all that by
slaying many Hispanics, regardless of birthrights, as suspected cattle rustlers
or horse thieves.
LOL. I know. If I were to visit my family in Florida, just getting out of Texas would be half the journey.
Jim Crow existed in Texas for decades but it only applied to
the native Hispanic population, esp in Brownsville and Mc Allen
They also struggle to understand the ramifications of half a million undocumented people coming over every year.
I find it always problematic to assign a number to an unknown quantity.
Keep in mind that many undocumented travel back and forth to their homes in
Mexico as they have for hundreds of years.
We have no solid statistics in either direction,
and it's so easy to just cross a bridge into Mexico...
Just a thought on the absurdity.
He signs a lot of crap and beats his own drum a lot.
which is how he is wasting $3 Billion Texas tax dollars.
Btw, in spite of Abbott's press releases, most of the detainees are freed due to procedural issues.

Since 90% of the world's fentanyl is made in Mexico this is another paper tiger unless we have plans to annex Mexico...
He is a professional politician. That's what they do. Frankly, he does it a lot less than most.
Hardly surprising for Travis County.
Where is it you imagine they "distribute" the drug?
Most of my news is local. I don't hear much about the other 49 governors at all.
Well....reading up on a few of those people will probably make you much more appreciative of Greg Abbott. You have RW nonsense raging in TN, VA, and OK...and LW nonsense raging in CA, NY, WA, and OR.
Seriously, it's like these people are pastors who make decisions based on religious dogma rather than what's actually going to make their states more prosperous, better places to live.
Yep a little bit of exuberant religion is evident.
unless we have plans to annex Mexico...
He doesn’t need to, if distributed in or through Texas.
The religion of the woke cancel culture secular progressive is grossly evident in our country today…
Abbott is deploying thousands of gay and transgender National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers stating "any one of them has more brains and courage than theocratic dominionist fuckwads who spend all day on the internet with their thumbs up their ass".
This is great news for the dems. Now they get to take care of those people that they want in the country so badly. I think they should also pay more in local taxes to make sure all the illegals get healthcare and top of the line cell phone plans to go with their free phones.
The hypocrisy of the left calling Abbott names about this when in reality they don't want the illegals in their back yard should be fun to watch.
Another bus full of illegal aliens from Texas arrived in DC today….
"Sitting in the plaza in front of Union Station in Washington, D.C., with the U.S. Capitol behind her, Ordalis Heras, a 26-year-old Venezuelan asylum-seeker, tried to control her two young children while she waited to get transportation to New York.
Two months ago, Heras said she fled Venezuela with her husband and children to escape President Nicolás Maduro’s regime. She crossed the border on Sunday through Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, and surrendered to U.S. immigration authorities in Del Rio.
On Tuesday, she took an offer from the state of Texas to be taken about 1,700 miles to Washington, D.C., for free. Now, a day later, she was about 200 miles away from her final destination.
“We are very thankful for all the help that has been given to us,” Heras said in Spanish outside Union Station. “Frankly, we did not have the money to get here otherwise, so we are very thankful for the help.”
So nice of Abbott to spend my money sending people who wanted the free ride and food to get to where they wanted to be.
Venezuelans seeking asylum here is not an issue. They, like Nicaraguans and Cubans are truly fleeing an evil regime and have a legitimate claim.
Then why stick them on a bus at My expense (and every other Texans') to send them to D.C.?
For months, you and other conspiracy enthusiasts have been lambasting the current
Administration for sending immigrants, illegals and asylum seekers supposedly across
the country. Now that Abbott does it, it's fine?
SMH
Nothing in the article makes that distinction. YOU seem to only be making it in order to deflect.
"the current administration for sending immigrants, illegals and asylum seekers supposedly across the country
So why whine when Abbott does the same thing?
Biden is busing and flying them all over the country.

1. I'm not a progressive.
2. I'm not a conservative.
3. I don't vote D or R.
4. Show my why my statement isn't true.
5. Stop with the deflections, grow up and learn to have a real discussion.
Either provide facts to back up your position or shut up.
And the truth shall set you free. I will never shut up
You still refusing to tell my how Biden isn't doing the same thing as Trump? How about a point by point rebuttal?
Well, a fourth bus from Texas dropped off some more illegal alien invaders just blocks from the Capitol this morning.
Is that a photo of some of the new arrivals there?
Yes it is.
