TEXAS TOUGH: Donations Pour In From Public To Fund Transporting Migrants To NYC, DC

Published on

Don’t mess with Texas they say. Those words couldn’t ring any truer than at a moment when Texans are together pulling their weight to stop Joe Biden’s raging illegal border crisis.

Governor Greb Abbott is doing everything he can to single-handedly save his state against the invasion from the southern border. He warned Joe Biden that if Washington doesn’t get its act together that he’d start sending busloads of migrants to his doorstep, and that’s exactly what he’s done.

Abbott is now doubling down on his efforts to protect the people of Texas from rampant crime, including illegal drug smuggling, murder, and rape that continues to stem from the illegal crossings, by asking for donations from the public to help fund transportation costs of migrants sent to NY and DC.

“In the wake of President Biden’s decision to end Title 42 expulsions, Governor Abbott has directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to charter buses to transport migrants to Washington, D.C. You can donate online now by credit card* or donate by mail by sending a check to the address below,” a message reads on the website for the Office of the Governor.

The state has collected $118,297 as of July 22, according to the website for Gov. Greg Abbott’s office. Texas has been billed nearly $7 million from busing and security contractors as of mid-July, the Washington Examiner reported Sunday.

Abbott’s office also confirmed that unused donations will go to funding construction for a Texas border wall. The state is also collecting donations for that initiative, which has collected $55,334,747 as of July 22.

More than 6,000 migrants have been bused to the city as of August, while the first buses of migrants to New York City began arriving last weekend. Abbott first called for private donations to be made to the transportation effort back in April, the Texas Tribune reported.

According to Fox News, Governor Abbott said Friday that Texas “has had to take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe” due to “President Biden’s continued refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies.”

Conservative leaders in border states and across the country have backed up Governor Abbott and have slammed President Joe Biden for his immigration policies, including ending the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, announcing an ultimately failed plan to offer citizenship to 11 million illegal immigrants at the start of his presidential tenure and loosening border enforcement policies, among other issues.
