Abbott is using asylum seekers as political pawns in his misguided attempt to oppose Biden's immigration policies and foment anti-immigrant sentiment. While Democrat-run cities should continue to welcome asylum seekers, it's also important to denounce this behavior.
The US is currently facing a border crisis, and Abbott's bus policy is providing much-needed relief to Texas, which is bearing the brunt of the massive influx of migrants. This isn't a provocation, but rather an attempt to share the burden with liberal cities and lawmakers who have fuelled the migration wave.
In an attempt to antagonize Democrats and slow the number of border crossings, Abbott is ironically establishing one of the nation's most generous publicly funded services to assist immigrants entering the country, which will only have the opposite effect. This so-called program clearly wasn't well thought out.
