On Wednesday, the first bus of migrants from Texas arrived in Los Angeles, as part of an effort by Texas’ Republican Governor Greg Abbott to transfer migrants who have been released from U.S. custody to Democratic-led cities. Abbott tweeted his vow to keep sending migrants to sanctuary cities like LA until President Biden secures the border.
The bus was met by emergency management, police, fire and other departments, who had been mobilized along with nonprofit partners before the bus arrived. Governor Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to transport thousands of migrants to Democratic-led cities.
The nonprofit organizations that met the bus in Los Angeles are providing aid to the migrants, but they are concerned about the vulnerability of the migrants, who are being used as pawns in a political game. The border towns are overwhelmed by the influx of migrants and need relief.
Governor Abbott has defended his decision to send migrants to sanctuary cities, saying that it is necessary to put pressure on the Biden administration to take action on the border crisis. However, critics argue that the move is a political stunt that does nothing to address the root causes of the crisis.
