Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) revealed that he has bused over 35,000 immigrants to Democrat-run cities.
Abbott began sending immigrants to cities such as New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago last year as part of a controversial program. He soon expanded the program to send immigrants to Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles. While arguing that the move was necessary to alleviate pressure on his state, the tactic has drawn outrage from Democrats.

“Texas has bused over 35,000 migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities,” Abbott said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. He also listed where the groups have been sent:
“-Over 11,300 to DC
-Over 13,300 to NYC
-Over 6,700 to Chicago
-Over 2,600 to Philadelphia
-Over 1,000 to Denver
-Over 480 to LA”
“Our busing mission provides critical relief to overwhelmed Texas border towns,” he added.

The statistics show that Washington, D.C., and New York City have borne the brunt of the immigrants, and authorities in both cities have repeatedly pleaded for help from the federal government.
Abbott has refused demands from Democrats to cease the busing until immigration reform is passed.
