As a seventh bus of illegal migrants is en route to Washington, D.C., from Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott said in order to manage the border crisis, he must “keep coming up with new ideas to do the federal government’s job.”
Texas’s Republican governor vowed to continue sending migrants to the nation’s capital as Border Patrol agents struggle with an increasing number of people attempting to enter the United States.
“We are going to load them up and send them to Washington, D.C.,” Abbott told Fox News’s Sean Hannity Monday. “If we run out of room there, Delaware looks like a great location,” he added, referring to President Joe Biden’s home state.
“It’s an atrocity,” Abbott said. “We have a president of the United States that is not securing the border. He is violating laws passed by Congress to secure the border, and the president is turning a blind eye to security by allowing people on terrorist watch lists to come into the United States of America.”

Abbott promised he would not stand by and watch the Biden administration overrun Texas’s small towns with migrant drop-offs.
“What the president is doing is outrageous, and Texas is taking unprecedented action. The seventh bus is en route from Texas to Washington, D.C., right now. This busing process will continue,” Abbott said.

And the governor claimed his plan is working.
“Good news that [White House press secretary] Jen Psaki did not tell you,” Abbott said. “Jen Psaki received word that the Border Patrol will no longer be dropping people off in local communities from which we have been busing people.”
