Texas Governor Greg Abbott Announces Busload of Migrants Arrived in Los Angeles, Calling it “Much-Needed Relief” for His State.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced on Wednesday that a busload of migrants from the state has arrived in Los Angeles for the first time. The 42 migrants arrived in downtown Los Angeles after a nearly 24-hour bus ride from Texas, where Abbott called their removal “much-needed relief” for his state.

In a statement released Wednesday evening, Abbott said that Los Angeles is a “major city that migrants seek to go to, particularly now that its city leaders approved its self-declared sanctuary city status.” He added that Texas would continue to provide “this much-needed relief” until President Biden secures the border.

Abbott also said that Texas’ small border towns remain overwhelmed and overrun by the thousands of people illegally crossing into Texas from Mexico due to Biden’s refusal to secure the border. He noted that the state has already sent migrants to San Antonio, Houston, and other cities, and that the Los Angeles busload is the latest in a series of efforts to provide relief to Texas’ border communities.

The migrants were reportedly met by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and other city officials, who expressed their commitment to providing the migrants with the resources they need. Garcetti also noted that the city is working with the federal government to ensure that the migrants are treated humanely and that their rights are respected.
