Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced during a keynote address at the New York Republican Party’s annual gala that Texas will continue bussing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities until a new president is elected. This decision comes in response to the ongoing influx of illegal immigrants entering the U.S., with Abbott criticizing New York City Mayor Eric Adams for his handling of the crisis.
Abbott explained that he initiated the bussing of illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities after local officials in Texas raised concerns about the number of migrants being dropped off by federal authorities in their communities. Initially planning to bus migrants to Washington, D.C., Abbott shifted his focus to New York City after Adams criticized his approach to the issue.
