Texas Governor Greg Abbott has a message for the mayors of sanctuary cities – go ahead and talk all the smack you want but the migrant buses and planes are not going to stop. He did a little trolling, a little jabbing in the eye, to the mayors who talk big until illegal aliens actually show up in their cities.
Governor Abbott posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he has sent 95,000 illegal aliens to sanctuary cities. He touted the success of his initiative of sending illegal aliens to sanctuary cities as a way to relieve some of the overcrowding at the southern border.
Texas has transported over 95,000 migrants to sanctuary cities.
Sanctuary cities like NYC & Chicago have seen only a FRACTION of what overwhelmed Texas border towns face daily.
We will continue our transportation mission until Biden reverses course on his open border policies.

One commenter had some suggestions.
Send them to San Francisco, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle, and Boston as well.

I thought Boston would be a good addition to Abbott’s list of sanctuary cities.
Looks like Boston needs to be added to Gov Abbott’s sanctuary city list to receive migrant buses and planes. https://t.co/HWTyvvTTk3

The cities currently on Abbott’s list are New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Denver. I think he should ramp it up and send more buses or planes. He should expand the list of cities. Spread the hospitality that was guaranteed to illegal aliens by Democrats running sanctuary cities.
This number is a drop in the bucket.
At least 2.4million migrants streamed across the US’ southern border in fiscal 2023, and that figure just represents the encounters border patrol agents had – there are plenty of illegal crossers who did not come into contact with DHS officers.
That 2.4million figure breaks down to an average of about 6,575 encounters per day, which means it would take just over two full weeks for 95,000 illegal crossers to enter the US.
Despite the seemingly high figure being touted by Abbott, it represents just a small fraction of the total number of unvetted foreigners coming into the US annually.
NYC Mayor Adams says the city is running out of room and he’s not exaggerating. Too bad. So sad. Not. Adams grudgingly admits it is against the law for him to tell illegal aliens to not come to his city. His predecessor, Bill De Blasio, signed laws that reduced the city’s cooperation with the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Reality bites.
‘We’re getting close to anywhere from 2,500 to peaking at 4,000 a week,’ Adams said Tuesday in an interview, during which he also proclaimed in no uncertain terms that NYC in ‘out of room’ for the incoming migrants.
‘We were not just saying we’re out of room as a soundbite,’ Adams answered, citing the more than 161,000 migrants whom have arrived and sought city aid since spring 2022.
‘We’re out of room, literally’, the Democrat declared.
‘People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets.’
While this drama was going on Tuesday, the Biden administration was requesting that the Supreme Court give them permission to help illegal border crossers come onto Texas soil. The administration wants the Border Patrol agents to have permission to cut razor wire put up by the State of Texas in order to prevent the illegal immigrants from continuing their journey by entering Texas. Axios reported on it.
The Justice Department’s filing of an emergency motion is the latest turn in a legal stoush between the Biden administration and officials in the Republican-led state, which which follows an appeals court last month temporarily blocking the removal of the wire.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar asked the justices to pause the recent ruling, saying the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has “the power and duty to control and guard the boundaries” and borders of the U.S.
“Texas’s barriers in Eagle Pass impede agents’ ability to apprehend and inspect migrants under federal law,” Prelogar argues.
Abbott’s reaction was to say, “See you in court.” He vowed to bring his case to the Supreme Court, if that is what it takes to be able to try to protect the Texas border with Mexico. Abbott is the former attorney general in Texas. He’s argued cases at the Supreme Court. He won’t hesitate to send Ken Paxton or whomever to do the same for Texas.
Biden begs SCOTUS to let him cut razor wire TX installed on border.
See you in court.
Americans & courts will reject Biden’s hostility to immigration laws.
TX will continue to deploy National Guard to build border barriers & repel illegal immigrants.

When Open Borders Joe returned from his third holiday vacation Tuesday night, he was asked about the crisis on the southern border. He said, yes, something will have to be done. He didn’t say he means he wants more freedom to keep the border open.

BIDEN: “Well, we gotta do something…”

What a mess. An intentional mess created by Joe Biden on his first day in the White House. It has gotten so bad that Democrats are pressuring Biden to “do something.” Biden knows what works, he just doesn’t want to do it. The president’s top job is to protect the homeland. Biden is derelict in that duty. He will pretend like he is concerned, now that millions of illegal aliens are in the country due to his policies. He is up for re-election and voters are angry about the southern border. Legacy media is covering the border occasionally so more Americans are becoming aware of what is going on. Illegals are arriving in cities and towns all across the country. They aren’t just arriving by migrant buses out of Texas. DHS has been spreading them around the country all along. That’s the plan. I read somewhere that every congressional district has illegal aliens.
We’ll see what the Supreme Court decides. Do they encourage illegal immigration by saying it is a federal responsibility or do they say Governor Abbott has a right to protect the Texas border? That is the question that has to be decided.
