Texas has spent more than $124 million sending buses of migrants to sanctuary cities, according to records obtained by Nexstar.
According to documents Nexstar obtained, Texas has paid $124,603,616.19 to bus more than 100,000 migrants from the state’s border communities to Washington D.C., New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles as of Jan. 10. That equals out to 2,245 buses year to date, an average of 45 migrants per bus.
Nexstar obtained the documents through a public information request to the Texas Division of Emergency Management — the agency tasked with this initiative. The majority of the payments have been made to Wynne Transportation LLC, with a handful of payments made to Transportation Management Services Inc.
How the fuck does it cost 124 MILLION dollars to bus people?
I’m entirely convinced this whole made up migrant fiasco is just a scheme by Abbot and DeSantis to funnel money to benefactors, because thats the only way I can imagine these plane and bus trips costing so much goddamn money.
It’s $1246 per migrant - what fucking bus ticket costs that much? It’s absolutely a money-siphoning scam.
Greyhound is less than $200 from Eagle Pass to the NY Port Authority.
For sure, but treating them humanely would cost more, before the grift.
Come on it’s only $55k per bus…
