El Paso, a Texas city controlled by Democrats, is sending more illegal immigrants to New York and Chicago than Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who has received backlash for doing so.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tours the U.S.-Mexico border at the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas, May 23, 2022.
"These hypocritical sanctuary city mayors are selectively attacking Texas’ bussing operation while conveniently ignoring migrants being bussed by Democrat-led El Paso and flown by President Biden," Renae Eze, press secretary for Gov. Abbott, told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Gov. Abbott launched the border bus mission back in April to help provide support to our Texas border communities, who were pleading for help as the Biden administration dumped migrants in their towns.
El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, said the city's program is"completely different" than the Republican bussing efforts and that the city seeks to"treat people with respect."
