The ongoing immigration crisis at the southern border has taken a surprising turn, with Texas Governor Greg Abbott proposing to send illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities until President Joe Biden decides to close the border. Governor Abbott argues that Texas should not bear the burden of Biden’s open border policies and suggests that sanctuary cities like New York and Chicago should handle the influx.
However, politicians in these liberal cities, including New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, are protesting the move, citing challenges in handling the surge of migrants. Mayor Adams and Governor Pritzker are urging Abbott to cease the transports, expressing concerns about the impact on their communities.

Governor Abbott’s decision is framed not just as a political move but as a defense of Texas’ sovereignty. Despite a temporary Supreme Court order allowing the removal of border fencing, Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are determined to uphold constitutional law and ensure the safety of American citizens. They have garnered support from Republican governors across the nation.
The message is clear: until President Biden takes decisive action to close the border, the flow of illegal immigrants will continue, particularly to sanctuary cities. Abbott's strategy is seen as holding those cities accountable for the consequences of open border policies. The situation underscores the ongoing debate around immigration policy and border security, with conservatives advocating for stronger enforcement measures.
