2nd bus carrying asylum seekers from Texas arrives in Los Angeles
A bus carrying migrants from a Texas border city has arrived in downtown Los Angeles for the second time in less than three weeks.
The political theater of hate continues. Abbott is a real piece of shit.
The bus arrived around 12:40 p.m., and the 41 asylum-seekers on board were welcomed by a collective of faith and immigrant rights groups. Eleven children were on the bus, according to a statement by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights.
The asylum seekers came from Cuba, Belize, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua and Venezuela. They received water, food, clothing and initial legal immigration assistance at St. Anthony’s Croatian Parish Center and church.

This is wonderful news.
LA recently reaffirmed its status as a sanctuary city. And the cities and states along the Southern border are overwhelmed by illegal immigrants. So this is a match made in heaven.
Maybe it makes less sense to send them to California, but there is a non political angle to sending them to other states. Texas can't just absorb them all, every state has finite resources, and Texas is extremely taxed, especially the border towns.
Nope, been here since 1981. This is purely political.
Austin is a "Sanctuary City" so if Abbott really wanted to shit on that idea he'd be sending them to Austin. But he isn't, he's sending them across multiple state lines which is human trafficking if the article is correct in stating they received temporary legal status when they were received in California.
Let me be clear as a former Texan, Abbott could lead the way in immigration because, yes, Texas could in fact absorb them and find temporary homes for them. Instead he's committing to political theater for an issue he's failing to address in his own state.
