Texas’ Governor Just Gave Biden a Taste of His Own Medicine

Remember when Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that he was going to send illegal migrants that President Biden dropped off in his state on a charter bus and drop them off in Washington, D.C.? Well, he actually did it. The charter bus arrived at Capitol Hill this morning, filled with illegal immigrants who volunteered to relocate to Washington, D.C.
Governor Abbott announced his decision on April 6th:
"To help local officials whose communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden Administration, Texas is providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden Administration to Washington, D.C. We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border."
Now the Biden Administration is trying to blame Texas for “supply chain issues.” Why? Because Texas troopers are inspecting trucks at ports of entry into Texas from Mexico to make sure the vehicles are not carrying fentanyl. They’re inspecting vehicles to increase safety for overwhelmed border cities. Texas’ strategy seems to be working. The Texas Division of Emergency Management reported to Fox News:
"Many of the communities that originally reached out for support – from the Rio Grande Valley to Terrell County – say the federal government stopped dropping immigrants in their town since Abbott’s announcement on April 6."
So how is Gov. Abbott able to circumvent the federal government on this immigration issue? ACLJ Director of Policy Harry Hutchison explained:
"So, the United States Supreme Court has identified the federal government as the supreme authority controlling immigration across our borders. That is number one. So, number two, because of that rule, the state of Texas has to make sure that it doesn’t violate the law and it can do so by asking whether or not these illegal immigrants wish to go to Washington, D.C., or Hawaii, or Montana. And it has to do that because it would face a lawsuit from the federal government."
This just shows that if the Biden Administration continues to ignore this crisis, governors will take action to ensure the well-being of the citizens of their states.
