  • NOW They’re opening more homeless shelters!!!!! What a slap in the face to natural citizens!
  • I'm a Texan. I had no idea we shipped 6600 illegal immigrants. That's fantastic. We have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants; which costs Texas tax payers $850 million a year. Texas is not a sanctuary state. Austin is extremely liberal and they know better than to become a sanctuary city. We cannot afford any more immigrants at our expense. It only becomes a problem when a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state receives a few thousand illegal immigrants. And the problem is Texas. No it is not. Complain to the president. Complain to other liberals. Close the border. Problem resolved. Until you state has 12 million illegal immigrants, maybe stop complaining.

    ask the open borders supporters to take in 1 family per illegal immigrant
  • GOV ABBOTT, KEEP IT COMING AND SHARE THE WEALTH. There's a big wide space in Delaware also, NYC, DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles and the entire California is wide open. KEEP IT COMING, BOSS.

    ASYLUM SEEKERS ---- Climb a fence, ok. Cross a river, ok. Bus trip to NYC, excellent!
  • Thousands?!? It's taken a few weeks to get to thousands. Texas gets thousands coming across every day.
  • Oh well everybody on the bus said it was worth it only the corporate wigs are complaining how come you don't want them in your state?
  • Keep shipping them to Washington DC, Delaware and New York City Governor Abbott!!!
  • In Search Of A Home ? What About The Homelessness In Our Country In Our Communities Our Cities Our Streets What About Our Citizens
  • @USMC-Goforth
    This is great news. Us Texans also sent them with canned food and water, they are excited to get to live in NY by AOC & In DC by Joe Biden.
  • Delaware should be the next stop, or at the their own countries EMBASSIES in DC, these volunteers should be helping America's homeless people buy giving then food, not just illegal immigrants
  • Send them to Gail’s house, Stephen colberts, Anderson cooper, houses since they defend this invasion.
  • @eponz4354
    Genius they came 10 of thousands of miles to get to the US. Do you really think a bus ride hurts them? Second they do want to go as far into the interior of the US as possible, it’s impossible to deport them that way. Love from Texas

    Hey Democrats. You want to have a heart for these people. Now prove it.
