For months now, the governors of Texas and Arizona have been sending charter buses full of migrants and refugees to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, just a few blocks from the Capitol building.
When they disembark, they find neither the local nor federal government there to meet them.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he started sending the buses to D.C. because the Biden administration attempted to lift the pandemic-era emergency Title 42 order that allowed the U.S. to deny migrants entry.
According to Abbott's office, more than 6,100 migrants have been bused to D.C. from Texas alone. They arrive six days a week, as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 11 p.m. — sometimes multiple buses each day.
In response, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser says this is a federal issue that demands a federal answer. She and other local government officials secured a FEMA grant in June for an international nonprofit to offer emergency services to migrants.

what you fail to state is - these are illegal migrants being sent to sanctuary cities. Why should Texas and Arizona bear the brunt of illegal migration? Both cities proudly stated illegal migrants are welcome in their cities? 6K over 6 months is nothing compared to how many get into Texas and Arizona weekly.

Capt Gregory Prickett - what felony are they committing? They are just giving those cities what they asked for. And lets be frank here - If these Mayors can defy federal law, why can't these governors? Texas and Arizona are exercising their constitutional right, or does that just work for Democrats?
And if it WAS a felony, why have they not been indicted by the DOJ? Because it is lawful.
