The policy is an expansion of the governor’s plan to antagonize President Joe Biden over border security by busing migrants entering Texas to Washington, D.C., but research suggests the policy could allow more migrants to stay in the country even longer.
The latest group of buses is the biggest to reach the East Coast city in one day since Abbott began the policy in early August, according to. In the biting op-ed, the governor accused New York City Mayor Eric Adams of hypocrisy when it comes to his border policies.
"Mayor Adams is a hypocrite," Abbott's campaign Press Secretary Renae Eze said in a statement to The Texas Tribune. "He represents a self-declared sanctuary city, yet he’s complaining about a few hundred migrants being bused into his city. If the mayor wants a solution to this humanitarian crisis, he should stop complaining and call on President Biden to take immediate action to secure the border.
Abbott's office did not respond to a question about whether his policy was increasing the odds migrants could stay longer in the country. Brandon Rottinghaus, a political scientist at the University of Houston, said the feud with New York makes Abbott a national name in the middle of his campaign against Democrat"Whether he runs for president or not is beside the point," Rottinghaus said. "He’s national headline news, and that gets the attention of Republican donors and conservative activists around the country."
