Mainecat Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Dumb ass… Abbott's Migrant Busing Stunt Cost TX Taxpayers Approx $150 Million Source: crooksandliars.com March 16, 2024 A CNN investigation found that “at most, around $550,000 has been raised to date” from private coffers. That leaves Texas taxpayers on the hook for 99% of the $150 million expense for busing migrants around the country. Abbott's MAGA stunt has bused them to Democratic cities such as New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and Denver. Oddly, the state website tallying the donations originally stated they had reached more than $1.3 million, CNN reported, but that amount was adjusted in December to $460,196. CNN found that a donation for $900,000 mysteriously disappeared from the tally. The news organization also found other false donations: CNN also spoke with another donor listed in the data who confirmed he did not make the $2,000 donation listed under his name. Yet another donor showed reporters a letter he said he received from the state after complaining that his $1,000 donation to the state border wall fund had been instead allocated to the busing efforts. That means that taxpayers have paid close to $150 million to “own the libs,” or about $1,500 per bused migrant, CNN estimated. If right-wing donors don’t want to cough up the money, I’d love to see a poll showing how everyday Texans feel about being stuck with the bills. It’s not just an expensive stunt for Texas taxpayers but a dangerous and potentially lethal one for the supposedly pro-life state. ........................

akvanden Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 They bused 100,000 migrants? Wow. I guess whatever it costs to let other states share in “fun” they’re experiencing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The city of Chicago has spent $200 million on migrants since October “22. Denver $45m and New York City 2.5 billion. Yes, billion with a B. Sounds like the good governor of Texas is doing a damn good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been much more costly for Texas to keep them in their own state. Good move on the MAGA ABBOTTS part ..... Hope they bus more of them to Washington DC. Or More specifically, Biden's hometown in Greenville Delaware. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if some machete waving 3rd world thugs were driving up and down your street your tune would change just like the people in NYC. Easy to be lax on the border when you have no skin in the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecat Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 The fed won’t pay back Texas the 150 million. If the legal migrants stayed in Texas the fed would have paid for them.

They’ve been mostly on their own. New York has had to cut services by 6%. Chicago is putting up shelters/tent cities on a toxic waste dump because the rent was cheap. Give your head a shake, dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
