During a press briefing last week, White House press secretary Jen Psaki called Abbott's bus plan a "publicity stunt." In today's statement attributed to Psaki, she furthered her criticism of the governor, saying his border policies were affecting the entire nation.
"Governor Abbott's unnecessary and redundant inspections of trucks transiting ports of entry between Texas and Mexico are causing significant disruptions to the food and automobile supply chains, delaying manufacturing, impacting jobs, and raising prices for families in Texas and across the country," Psaki said.
Psaki's statement also stated that businesses and trade associations had requested Abbott change his policies "because trucks are facing lengthy delays exceeding 5 hours at some border crossings and commercial traffic has dropped by as much as 60 percent."
During an April 6 press conference, Abbott said Texas had been "overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the Biden administration."
He added, "We are sending [the migrants] to the United States capital where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border

Having lived most of my life in the Philadelphia area, I've had Brandon, in all his ego, dishonesty, insecurity, and pomposity for about 50 years.
He can't deal with somebody beating him at his own game. He'll try to bluster his way through, but Abbott has him cold.
As I said at the top of this post...I wish EVERY governor in the USA would do the same thing. Send ALL the illegals to Washington DC. We're not allowed there, so send our "representatives"....
