She also alleged that “racists” don’t mind paying the $80,000 dollars it reportedly costs per bus trip. 

To combat the influx of illegal immigration along the southern border, this summer Governor Abbot and Governor Ducey began transporting migrants from the detention centers to the nation’s capital and the Big Apple.

Texas has also “bused over 7,900 migrants to our nation's capital since April and over 2,200 migrants to New York City since August 5.” 

More than 300 migrants have been bussed to Chicago since Aug. 31.
