“The 300th Texas bus of migrants just left for Chicago. As Biden does nothing, Texas will continue taking unprecedented action to relieve our overwhelmed border communities & secure the border,” Gov. Abbott announced in a tweet.

This comes after almost a year of Gov. Abbott’s efforts to transport illegal migrants from the lone star state to cities run by open-border Democrat leaders like Chicago, Washington D.C. and New York City.
As per numbers released by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) more than 2.3 million illegal migrants have been encountered on the southern border of Texas in 2022 alone.
“To continue providing much-needed relief to our small, overrun border towns, Chicago will join fellow sanctuary cities Washington, D.C. and New York City as an additional drop-off location,” Abbott announced in an August 31 press release. “Mayor Lightfoot loves to tout the responsibility of her city to welcome all regardless of legal status, and I look forward to seeing this responsibility in action as these migrants receive resources from a sanctuary city with the capacity to serve them.”
Gov. Abbott along with Republican Governors of Arizona and Florida have announced similar efforts to transport illegal migrants to open-border sanctuary cities run by Democrats who always pander and virtue signal about the open border and accepting illegal migrants.
Gov. Abbott in the latest mid-term elections defeated his Democrat challenger, Beto O’Rourke in the state’s gubernatorial election securing his third term in office.
Despite criticisms for his efforts to use taxpayer funds to transport illegal immigrants to other states in the country, Gov. Abbott secured 54.8% of the votes in the general election, while his pro-open border, Democrat opponent managed to secure only 43% of the total votes in the lone star state.
