Texas Governor Greg Abbott, along with Arizona, has sent over 79 buses loaded with more than 2,500 illegal migrants to Washington, D.C.
All illegal migrants were driven 1,700 miles from his state to Washington D.C. so that Joe Biden will be forced to deal with the crisis.
“We are sending them to the United States capital where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border,” Abbott said.
Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said 25 percent of migrants planned to travel to New York and 23 percent said they will head to New Jersey.
“This is a problem for Washington. We’re bringing it to Washington, and we expect Washington to foot the bill. We’re going to send them a bill,” a spokesperson from Governor Ducey said.
Migrants normally are required to pay for their own transportation. Both Texas and Arizona are looking to have the Biden administration pay for the buses.
Arizona has shipped 523 illegal aliens on 14 buses to D.C.
The immigration system has been fundamentally broken under Joe Biden. Under Trump, Americans saw the lowest rate of illegal immigration in over 40 years.
Under Biden, we have seen the highest rate of illegal immigration over 60 years.

Biden ended Trump’s “remain in Mexico” policy, which forced foreign nationals seeking to enter the U.S. through the southern border — illegally or without proper documentation — to be returned to Mexico. These individuals needed to wait in Mexico while their legal cases are adjudicated.
Biden, on the other hand, opened the flood gates and created a disaster. By removing this policy, it signaled that everyone can come through the border even if it’s illegally and without proper documentation. This border security program under Trump and kept migrants in Mexico as they awaited their hearings.
Biden and the Democrats falsely claimed President Trump was “racist” and “xenophobic” for his “remain in Mexico.” This was part of Trump’s effort to secure the U.S. southern border and stop the flood of illegal immigration. Trump’s key policy was called the Migrant Protection Protocols. It required migrant asylum seekers to wait in Mexico for their U.S. court hearings.
Under Trump, an estimated 68,000 migrants were returned to Mexico under the policy, according to the Department of Homeland Security. These individuals will need to wait in Mexico while their legal cases are adjudicated. This only impacted those attempting to enter illegally or without proper documentation.
Biden, on the other hand, allows migrant asylum seekers into the U.S. prior to court hearings, which many Republicans have opposed. The Democrat’s strategy of allowing migrants into the U.S. gives them the opportunity to disappear before their court hearings. As a result, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently confirmed that some illegal immigrants have received free cell phones so that they can be contacted and “checked on” in hopes that they don’t disappear within the U.S. before their court hearing.
Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz says he’s “extremely proud” of the job his patrol officers are doing.
