Should Texas continue to bus illegals to cities like Chicago and New York?

Outgoing Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, wrote to Texas Governor Gregg Abbott over the weekend, pleading with him to stop bussing people who have crossed our southern border to places like that city, New York and others.

"Nearly all the migrants have been in dire need of food, water, and clothing and many needed extensive medical care," the Mayor wrote. "Some of the individuals you placed on buses were women in active labor, and some were victims of sexual assault. None of these urgent needs were addressed in Texas. Instead, these individuals and families were packed onto buses and shipped across the country like freight without regard to their personal circumstances."

Abbott started bussing people to so-called 'sanctuary cities' last Fall after Texas border towns were overwhelmed with people coming across our open borders.

"I know by your actions that you either do not see or do not care about the trauma these migrants have already faced and continue to suffer under the humanitarian crisis you have created," she said. "But I beseech you anyway: treat these individuals with the respect and dignity that they deserve. To tell them to go to Chicago or to inhumanely bus them here is an inviable and misleading choice."

What do you think? Should Texas continue to bus illegals to cities like Chicago and New York?
