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.
Wondering whether we in the PNW could use our tax $$ to deport some of the MAGA aholes here down to Texas?
Great idea! We can be more efficient by running full buses in both directions
Send them to florida, recommend they live right on the ocean
We have enough of them here already, thanks.
Yeah but Texas is their Rednecca! Welcome them home, they’re already drinking light beer towards you multiple times per day!
🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant! Have some Lemmy gold: 💰💰💰💰💰
