Abbott Calls for Arrest of 50,000 Bused Migrants in Texas

Texas has bused over 50,000 migrants to various destinations across the United States, sparking a shelter crisis in several cities and reshaping the immigration debate. Governor Greg Abbott's busing program, initially seen as a political move to draw attention to President Biden's inaction on the border, has evolved into an organized transportation system. While it has brought attention to the issue, it has not achieved Abbott's goal of forcing more stringent border controls. Now, Abbott is seeking expanded powers for Texas police over border enforcement and wants to make crossing the border without authorization a state crime. Critics see this as an attempt to challenge federal immigration policy and potentially expand state power over immigration.
