Woah, looks like the Democrats are getting in on the migrant transportation game, and by the looks of it, they’re on a mission to outpace Republicans on buses sent to NYC.
The Democrat-led border city of El Paso, Texas, has sent more migrants on buses to New York City and Chicago than a campaign by Texas’ Republican governor, a twist in an ongoing partisan battle over U.S. border security.
According to Newsmax, El Paso, which sits across the border from Juarez, Mexico, has bused roughly 7,000 migrants to New York City since late August and sent more than 1,800 to Chicago, a city-run effort that far exceeds the more ad-hoc transportation of the past.
Of course, the mainstream media is MIA as the city’s busing effort has received less attention than a separate statewide campaign by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who is seeking a third term in Nov. 8 midterm elections. Abbot has sent less than HALF of the Dem-led city, busing only 3,000 migrants to NYC and 900 to Chicago.
The media have been quick to blame Governor Abbott for 100% of all migrants sent up North from Texas, but have failed to mention that half of those migrants sent have been from the Democrat-led city of El Paso and were not part of Abbott’s original campaign to put a spotlight on the issues Texas faces at the border.
Meanwhile, Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis recently flew a group of about 50 migrants to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, but those who boarded the planes have said they were misled. It appears to be one of the only times migrants claim they didn’t know where they were going.
The Democrat administration of U.S. President Joe Biden and Democrat mayors receiving the migrants have criticized the Republican governors for creating confusion with surprise drop-offs and say the busing campaign strains resources.
But El Paso’s Democrat leaders say they are coordinating with receiving cities and that migrants take their chartered buses voluntarily. City officials say their buses were needed because up to 2,000 migrants were arriving daily, including impoverished Venezuelans without family in the United States to pay for onward travel.
Apparently, migrant transportations seem to run smoothly when Democrats relocate them away from border towns, but miraculously there are a million problems when Republicans do it.
Many of those sent to New York are Venezuelans, who have been arrested at the border in higher numbers than ever before. The United States cannot expel them to Mexico under a pandemic-era order as it can other migrants, per Newsmax.
