Gov. Greg Abbott asks public to help pay for migrants buses going to Washington, D.C. – By Ariana Garcia (Houston Chronicle) / April 26, 2022
Texas has sent at least 10 buses with migrants to Washington, D.C., according to the governor’s office.
Gov. Greg Abbott is inviting the public to help pay for buses transporting migrants from Texas border communities to the nation’s capital. The Republican leader has added a donations page to his office’s website under a “Border Transportation Funding” button on the site’s “Border Crisis Update” page.
The page notes that any unused border transportation funding will be applied to the state’s border wall funding.
Abbott promoted the donation page during a Sunday appearance on the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo. The Republican governor told Bartiromo that as soon as he announced the bus ride initiative, his office’s “phone started ringing off the hook [with] people wanting to help.”
