Like fellow Republican and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has found a way to thumb his nose at Democrats: sending migrants to northern U.S. states — a political stunt that, critics say, recalls southern segregationists of the 1950s and 1960s who would send busses of African-Americans to New York City, Philadelphia or Boston to live. | https://www.alternet.org/former-reagan-speechwriter-rips-greg-abbott-for-his-cruel-and-heartless-immigration-stunts/ | Alternet | immigration | 1 | yaDDWagUwLSNN4yKWUKw2d |
