Increase the number of buses of illegals to prog sanctuary cities Abbott. Let's bankrupt these progressive ****holes that looked down their noses at us and called us racists for not welcoming these hordes with open arms when it wasn't their problem.
I did not vote for Abbott last election and left it blank because of his covid mandate bull***** However, if he keeps this up, then I'll happily vote for him next time. I want him to bring these cities pain and horror. I'd enjoy watching these cities burn and tear themselves apart.

Chicago spent nearly $1million to build a migrant camp on a toxic site, as the city continues to struggle with a massive surge of asylum seekers, with officials now impounding incoming buses.
Official records seen by ABC 7 show the city spent more than $985,000 on the shuttered migrant camp at a Brighton Park lot - despite warnings that the site was not safe and outrage by locals, including a lawsuit.
The nearly $1million bill is not much compared to the total expected cost of the camp, which was mostly financed by the state government under a $125million contract with a private contractor.

Mayor Brandon Johnson claimed taxpayer money was not lost on the camp because the lot 'has been assessed and further prepared for future use.'
Governor JB Pritzker claimed the company knew 'it was possible that the environmental report wouldn't allow the completion of the shelter.'
'They understood that and they were willing to take that liability through the state's contract,' the Democrat said.
It comes as desperate Chicago officials voted on Wednesday to allow the city to begin impounding buses dropping off migrants without previous approval or outside designated times and zones.
The first 'rogue' bus from Texas was impounded the same night after trying to drop off 49 migrants.
Those who violate the revised rules will now also face $3,000 in fines, plus towing and storage fees.

On Tuesday several migrant buses were turned away from Cicero and Rosement near Chicago after officials in Cicero approved a $750 fine per immigrant that is dropped off on the street.
Police reportedly allowed the migrants to descend from the buses on Tuesday if they had someone waiting for them, but threatened to impound the bus and arrest the driver for endangering the passengers if he let them out, Rosemont Mayor Brad Stephens said.
'It's wrong to drop people on the street with nowhere to go,' Cicero spokesman Ray Hanania said. 'We think every community should do this to prevent this. They need to force the state to come up with a better plan for homeless people.'
There are currently more than 13,000 migrants staying in Chicago's shelter system and the city has spent more than 250M handing the crisis this year.
It's not much when compared to the $4billion spent by New York City's government. The mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York have been pressing for more federal aid to deal with the surge in asylum seekers.
Migrants have been arriving in the Democrat-led cities on buses funded by the Republican governors of Texas and Florida. Critics initially waved off the effort as a political stunt, but more than a year later, the cities are struggling to cope with the influx and their resources are dwindling.
