Texas Gov. Greg Abbott plans to bus migrants to more sanctuary cities across America

FAIRVIEW, Texas — After creating a firestorm in New York, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that he plans to bus migrants at the southern border to other communities known as “sanctuary cities” around the nation.

In another development, figures released this week show that Texas has spent more than $12 million to bus migrants from the border to New York and Washington, D.C. — a cost of more than $1,300 per passenger.

“We are not done yet,” Abbott told a Republican club in Fairview. “There are more cities on the list.”
