Open border activists oppose red states taking control of immigration, allowing border crossings and smugglers to flow into blue states and cities like New York and Washington, DC.
In April, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (right) says state officials will begin hiring buses to transport border crossings and illegal immigrants to Washington, DC and other cities.
As a result, Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is asking President Joe Biden to deploy the National Guard after he said nearly 4,000 border crossings and illegal immigrants had arrived in the area over the past few weeks.
According to Bowser, illegal immigration in DC is at a “tipping point.” Similarly, New York City Mayor Eric Adams warned New Yorkers that illegal immigration to the city could damage the health system and infrastructure and overload schools and neighborhoods.
Now, mass immigration activists argue that Abbott’s order may have been illegal.
“There are ongoing questions about what authority they have to get people from one place to another,” said Aaron Reuchlin-Melnick of the American Board of Immigration. Texas Tribune. “From a legal standpoint, is this an immigration app? I do not know.”
The number of cross-border and illegal aliens arriving in DC and New York is low compared to those arriving in America’s small border communities.
In Texas border towns alone, nearly 130,000 illegal border violators were arrested in June. Recently, in the small Normandy town of just 29, Texas, about 400 illegal aliens have crossed the border this month.
