To the Editor:Re “Bus After Bus, Texas Changed U.S. Migration” (front page, July 24):Texas did indeed have to bear the brunt of immigrants crossing its border from Mexico, and the rest of the nation might have stepped up to share the Lone Star State’s burden had Gov.
Greg Abbott of Texas played the role of statesman rather than partisan gamesman.
Instead, he grandstanded by depositing often desperate people in the middle of Northern cities, most of them carefully chosen for being in the hands of Democrats.
For this, Mr. Abbott gained what he sought: headlines and cheers.
And in the long run, he’ll be recalled in infamy.
Persons:
Greg Abbott, Texas, Abbott, he’ll, James M, Banner, Jr, Donald Trump’s
Organizations:
