(John Ransom, Headline USA) A second busload full of illegal immigrants was dropped off at the nation’s capital today from Texas, part of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to ship illegal immigrants to the people who created the problem in Washington, DC.
A previous busload dropped off at the capital included illegal immigrants from Colombia, Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, reported ABC News.
Florida’s Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, had warned those who entered the country illegally, not to come to the state of Florida.

“To those who have entered the country illegally, fair warning: do not come to Florida,” the Executive Office of the Governor of Florida told Fox News.
“Life will not be easy for you, because we are obligated to uphold the immigration laws of this country, even if our federal government and other states won’t. Do not come.”
In Texas, Abbott is responding to Biden’s refusal to extend Title 42, a COVID pandemic measure, which prevented people from crossing the border between Texas and Mexico, where traditionally illegal immigrants entered the US.
The COVID pandemic apparently was the only grounds upon which Democrats could be forced to enforce immigration laws in the country said critics.
“Leaders in Congress have no idea about the chaos they have caused by the open border policies and they refuse to come down and see firsthand and talk to the people who are really they’re just dropping bombs of illegal immigrants from countries across the entire globe, leaving those local communities to have to grapple with it,” Abbott told reporters on Wednesday.
Even the leading Democrat gubernatorial hopeful in Texas, Beto O’Roarke, criticized the Biden administration for letting Title 42 expire without a plan to deal with the vast numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the border.
“It does not make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over,” O’Rourke told the Texas Tribune.
“I have yet to hear a plan from the Biden administration to address the dynamic we will have on the border once Title 42 ends.”
The US Border Patrol said that by allowing Title 42 to expire the number of encounters with illegal immigrants will go over the 8,000 per-day mark, which would likely lead to 2022 smashing the previous record of 1.7 million illegal immigrant encounters established in 2021 under the first year of President Biden, reported the New York Post.
