Texas Ran Out Of Migrants To Bus Into Blue Cities

NBC News reports:

In July 2023, Abbott sent 95 buses with 4,281 migrants to cities around the country, according to numbers from the Texas Division of Emergency Management obtained by NBC News through a Freedom of Information Act request. This July, he sent zero.

The data covers the period from when the buses began on April 11, 2022, through Aug. 8, 2024, and confirms what NBC News reported exclusively last week: that the bus trips dropped sharply after President Joe Biden’s executive action curtailing asylum applications took effect in early June and then kept falling because there were not enough migrants to fill the buses.
