2nd bus carrying asylum seekers from Texas arrives in Los Angeles
A bus carrying migrants from a Texas border city has arrived in downtown Los Angeles for the second time in less than three weeks.
Maybe it makes less sense to send them to California, but there is a non political angle to sending them to other states. Texas can't just absorb them all, every state has finite resources, and Texas is extremely taxed, especially the border towns.
Austin is a "Sanctuary City" so if Abbott really wanted to shit on that idea he'd be sending them to Austin. But he isn't, he's sending them across multiple state lines which is human trafficking if the article is correct in stating they received temporary legal status when they were received in California.
Let me be clear as a former Texan, Abbott could lead the way in immigration because, yes, Texas could in fact absorb them and find temporary homes for them. Instead he's committing to political theater for an issue he's failing to address in his own state.
