Texas The office of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is now asking the public for donations to help pay for charter buses transporting migrants to Washington, D.C.
After the Biden administration announced its decision to end Title 42 expulsions, Gov. Abbott directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to charter buses to the nation's capital.
Donations are now live on the Office of the Governor's website, including options for payment by mail.
According to the governor's office, as of April 22, a total of 10 buses have made their way to D.C. from Texas. The buses have included voluntary migrants from Angola, Brazil, Colombia, Congo, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Perhaps he should use his own Gd money.

(24,149 posts)5. Right wing zealotry is his guiding focus.
This includes racism, stealing from middle class/poor, hate for anyone not white straight rich male, love of guns above love of children and of course the number one motivator - persistent personal power and financial gain and the destruction of anyone or anything thst would limit this.

(29,996 posts)7. Is this legal? Seriously?
I know the wall thing was done privately, but Abbott is an elected official.
Funds are going directly to the state.
Additionally, he has the same set up for a border wall..
How is this even legal? https://www.borderwall.texas.gov/
