Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said that the state’s plan to bus illegal immigrants to leftist cities like New York is not political. He said the Lone Star State will continue to bus them to these cities until the Biden Administration makes an effort to address the border crisis, during an interview with Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom.”
Texas has sent buses to New York City as well as Washington D.C. The mayor of D.C. has complained and said it strains their city and they are not prepared for the influx of people.
Patrick explained, “First of all, this is all voluntary. We’re not forcing anyone to get on the bus. Secondly, that’s part of the agreement. You’re going to the destination. And this is not political, Bill. If it’s political, it’s from the mayor who said he’s going to send door knockers to Texas for the November election to help Democrats. That’s the person who’s made it political.”
Patrick explained this in reference to the NYC mayor telling people to go to Texas and block walk for Beto for Governor.
“And by the way, Mayor, don’t threaten Texas. And also, he may spike the Republican turnout so much with that rhetoric — that he’s sending New Yorkers to Texas — that the Republicans might send him an award after we blow them out in November. But that’s the politics of it. They turned it into politics. This is a disaster.”
Patrick said that the Biden Administration needs to address the crisis at the nation’s Southern Border.
He also put other leftist cities on notice.
“Well, first of all, every mayor of a big blue city, which are most of the top 25 in the country, should be on notice,” he proclaimed. “Look out your window, you might see a bus coming to you one day in the future, and the buses are going to keep coming.”
He went on to describe what is happening at the southern border.
“We’ve had now 400,000 people in the Del Rio sector in the last year. The population of that town is 36,000. That’s more than ten times the population,” he added. “[It] would be like us sending 80 million to New York. We’re desperate, Bill, we gotta make this a story — and no one else is covering it but you [Fox News]. And so, if we can put pressure on all these Democrat mayors around the country, maybe they’ll pick up the phone and call Joe Biden and say the border is not secure.”
The Biden Administration hasn’t been too concerned with the invasion of the southern border.
Arizona has had to close in gaps in the wall in the Yuma sector of the border. They used shipping containers welded together to close the gaps.
Arizona has had enough,” said Governor Ducey. “We can’t wait any longer. The Biden administration’s lack of urgency on border security is a dereliction of duty. For the last two years, Arizona has made every attempt to work with Washington to address the crisis on our border. Time and time again we’ve stepped in to clean up their mess. Arizonans can’t wait any longer for the federal government to deliver on their delayed promises.”
Will the bussing of illegal immigrants to leftist cities get the Biden Administration’s attention? We will see.
