Now Biden is Flying Migrants Back to Texas

The New York Post has uncovered yet another "unannounced" White House program related to the Biden border crisis. Ever since Texas Governor Greg Abbott effectively shut down his state's southern border, the cartels have been forced to move their human smuggling cargo further to the west. Much of the traffic has been showing up in California, particularly in the San Diego area. Despite Gavin Newsom's claims that California was still a "welcoming" state for migrants, in reality, the San Diego area was simply becoming "overrun." Since we clearly can't have that happening to a blue state in an election year, Joe Biden rushed to the rescue. The White House has been operating weekly charter flights out of San Diego to take the migrants elsewhere. Their destination? Texas, of course. They are being flown in and released in the Rio Grande Valley.

The Biden administration has been flying migrants from California, which is being overrun, to Texas — where Gov. Greg Abbott’s tough border control measures have deterred illegal crossings into the state, The Post can reveal.

For the last month, pricey Border Patrol charter flights on commercial-sized planes have been hauling border crossers from San Diego to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, sources told The Post.

Sources say the flights, which have been operating every week, cost an estimated $80,000 and are known for being “extremely expensive.”

As noted above, these charter flights are pricey. You're shelling out roughly $80,000 dollars per week to ship hundreds of illegal migrants to a state that has been working overtime to keep them out. It's impossible to ignore the obvious political angle to this program. Joe Biden has been at war with the Lone Star State ever since he took office. These flights are a direct slap in the face to Governor Abbott personally and the state of Texas in general.

This secret program kicked off when Biden's new border "crackdown" went into effect. Since June 6, more than 400 migrants have been flown to Texas and more are reportedly on the way. The first thing we need to find out is if anyone even bothered to inform Greg Abbott that this was happening. I can't imagine he would be terribly pleased about it. It's been costing Texas a fortune to largely secure the border, not to mention the cost of the buses that Abbott has been using to ship the migrants out to sanctuary cities. And now Joe Biden is just dumping more of them into the state by the hundreds?

This type of secrecy shouldn't come as any surprise since we're talking about the Biden administration. There was similarly no public announcement about the launch of the CBP One app and the free flights importing migrants from all over the world and dropping them off in the city of their choice. Joe Biden has been freestyling in this fashion and violating our immigration laws since the day he took office, and he has these operations done below the radar because his handlers know how angry people would be about them.

All of Joe Biden's talk about "cracking down" and regaining control of the border has been nothing more than that... talk. Any slight decrease in border encounters this summer has not been driven by his policies. Foot traffic is always slower in the summer because it's harder to cross the desert when the temperatures are going through the roof. If Joe Biden is somehow given another term or one of his Democratic doppelgangers takes office instead, any slight restrictions at the border that have been put in place will disappear overnight. This has all been fully intentional from the beginning and they are going to keep doing it for as long as they are allowed to get away with it. It's time to put an end to this.
