WASHINGTON — A group of undocumented migrants arrived in the nation's capital Wednesday on a bus sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, part of the Republican governor's strategy to oppose the Biden administration's rescinding of a Trump-era border policy.

"By busing migrants to Washington, D.C., the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately meet the needs of the people they are allowing to cross our border," Abbott said in a statement Wednesday, adding that another busload is en route.

The migrants, from Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, were being dropped off between Union Station and the Capitol as "part of Governor Abbott’s response to the Biden Administration’s decision to end Title 42 expulsions," his office said.

Abbott, who is running for re-election in November, said last week that he had directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to charter buses to transport the migrants to D.C. "Texas should not have to bear the burden of the Biden Administration’s failure to secure our border," he said Wednesday.

5. Abbott probably violated federal law: Title 8, U.S.C. 1324(A)

Subsection 1324(a)(1)(A)(ii), "Domestic Transporting," makes it an offense for any person who "knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law."

7. GOP leaders don't have to follow state or federal law.

They appear to have permanent and total immunity.

9. Good Grief!

He's gotten away with so much that he doesn't hesitate to do whatever's the most outrageous, cruel and counter productive action possible. Vote him out!
