Texas has brought the border crisis to national headlines by bussing illegal aliens to sanctuary cities, but it’s costing the state. Texas has spent over $220 million sending illegals to these Democrat-run cities.
Brandon Waltens with the Texas Scorecard told KTRH, "I think there's no doubt that it has been successful in raising the specter of the issue in those areas. I mean, it's amazing to see."
Waltens says that while it has been expensive, this has clearly been a good investment for Texas. He said, "You see New York City Mayor Eric Adams complaining whenever he gets just a couple thousand illegal aliens. Meanwhile, of course, hundreds of thousands are pouring across the border every year into Texas."
Waltens adds that the only question now is how to build off the success of the bussing program and Operation Lone Star.
