Gov. Greg Abbott asks for private donations to bus migrants to D.C. after criticism for using taxpayer money
According to this article on Texas Tribune, by JASON BEEFERMAN
“On Sunday, Gov. Greg Abbott appeared on Fox News touting a program he’s been pushing for weeks — sending migrants who enter into Texas to Washington, D.C., by charter bus.
But this time, Abbott asked Texans to personally contribute their own money to pay for the trips.
The decision to crowdfund the free bus trips for migrants is a new development from when he initially announced on April 6 that it would be paid for by Texas taxpayers. At the time, Abbott proudly presented the trips as a tough-on-immigration act of defiance against the Biden administration.”
