The number of migrants being sent by Gov. Greg Abbott to New York and Chicago have plummeted, and three cities haven't received any migrants this year.
Despite Gov. Greg Abbott ’s insistence that he’s going to keep busing migrants from the Texas border to cities with Democratic mayors, data from his office shows a dramatic drop in the program over the last six months as those cities have fought back in court and in the political arena. That drop mirrors declining border crossings in the same period as Mexico has become more aggressive in blocking migrants from getting to Texas .
What to know about Gov. Greg Abbott's migrant busing program In the second half of 2023, Abbott’s busing program sent about 77,000 migrants to six U.S. cities with Democratic mayors. But over the last six months, that number fell to about 17,000, and three cities are no longer getting bused migrants at all.
