Texas Spends $4B on Border Security, Busing Immigrants to NYC and Other Cities; New York City to Fill Another Luxury Hotel with Illegal Aliens, Border Crossers Bused from Texas

Texas spends $4B on border security, busing immigrants to NYC and other cities:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has laid out a staggering $4 billion for a border mission created last year, making his state the biggest spender on border security.
An additional $875 million in “emergency funds” was added to the budget for Operation Lone Star, which began in March 2021.
The money mostly covers pay for about 5,000 Texas National Guard troops and hundreds of Texas Department of Public Safety troopers patrolling the border, the Texas Tribune reported.
Millions are also spent to bus migrants from Texas border towns like Del Rio and Laredo to New York City, Washington, DC, and Chicago. Texas has disbursed at least $12 million to bus asylum seekers from border towns to sanctuary cities like New York, the state told the media outlet in August.
Texas’ Republican governor has repeatedly asserted the state is forced to spend the money in the absence of a federal immigration solution — a stance echoed by local lawmakers who signed off on using $875 million from the Texas prison system for the border instead. --->READ MORE HERE

City officials have started putting the new arrivals in a tent city located on Randall’s Island that includes free WiFi, video games, laundry service, a popcorn maker, and other amenities.
Now officials will also house about 160 border crossers and illegal aliens in the Washington Jefferson Hotel in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood.
W42ST reports that in “…emails obtained by W42ST, the Department of Social Services (DSS) informed local elected officials and some Manhattan Community Board 4 members late Monday evening” of the new arrangements: --->READ MORE HERE
