Texas reportedly paid a private company $75.5 million in the span of a year to transport migrants to sanctuary cities across the U.S.
Transaction data provided by the Texas Department of Emergency Management shows the state paid Wynne Transportation $75,561,032.72 from Aug. 19, 2022, through Aug. 23, 2023, to bus migrants out of state.
13 Investigates asked the department for more details on the spending, but our questions were referred to Gov. Greg Abbott’s office.
Abbott’s office did not respond to ABC13’s questions by Tuesday afternoon.
Since April 2022, Texas has bussed nearly 52,000 migrants to Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles, according to a news release from Abbott’s office.
That’s more than annual budget of most regions here!
“we don’t have the resources to support these numbers of people” Spends 75 mil to bus them out of state
I simply don’t get these ppl. They act like migrant workers are a drag on the economy when they’re exactly the opposite.
Disaster capitalism at work.
I smell a racket
Biden is building the wall they spent years claiming was all kinds of -ist.
The 75 mil was worth every penny. Once the ‘migrants’ started showing up in Democrat cities suddenly there was ‘no more room’
Funny how that works.
So you’re saying Republicans are so ineffective at their job that they couldn’t manage to build something as simple as a wall while being in power and it took a Democrat to get this Republican-lead task accomplished as well as having to rely on Democratic lead cities to house populations of people living within their state? Why is it people keep electing these slugs?
