Abbott has sent 120ish migrants in one go, via aircraft to Chicago without informing Chicago about this special delivery of his, until the plane landed. Due to this, the migrants were left unattended in the Chicago airport for a while.

It is mindblowing how Republicans continue to reward their politicians for engaging in illegal behavior intended only as publicity stunts.

It may be a political stunt but it works for their voters because it sure does give a boost to the morale of the MAGAt base of the GOP every time Abbot does it. They thrive on this kind shenanigans because they pretty much don't have anything else of substance to convince the nation that they should be the ones to run it.

They're living off of the racist rhetoric and fundie religious zealotry they like to pass off as acts of patriotism as a means to justify their existence, their raison d'etre simply because their politicians are, among a list of other backstabbing scams against their members feverishly and incessantly assaulting the essential social services that millions of their very own working class party faithful rely on to maintain a modicum of financial and medical security in their lives and have convinced their duped peasant class that that manner of socialism that they're relying on is detestable and against the values that distinguish their party from the "baby killing commie atheists" that populate the Demoncrat party.

Publicity stunt? More like a real crisis.
Texas is just helping sanctuary cities fulfill their promises.
Only... they don't like that, because they cannot handle it. Well neither can Texas.
At 2 million people crossing /year, cities facing mere thousands still do not know what the burden / crisis is truly like.

Do you know the definition of a sanctuary city?

Proper identification. You never been to an airport before?
I have been to the airport many times, and I know ID is required. The migrants are not allowed to use the passport of the country they originally came from? Are the documents they are given upon crossing the border not considered ID?

Cruz was bitching about them not being good enough. The migrants may not have their passport and TSA may not have data to look up on them if they did not enter regularly through official entry points.
