Opinion by Dana Milbank: Abbott’s plan to humiliate the weak instead dupes Texas taxpayers
Asked about the low number of migrants sent to D.C., Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze said, “A large majority of communities that originally reached out for support through this operation said the federal government stopped dropping migrants in their towns.”
“It wasn’t what he expected,” Abel Nuñez, executive director of Carecen, told me. “He thought people might wander over to the Capitol. It didn’t happen. ” Nuñez said his group needs more contributions so it can buy the arriving migrants onward tickets from D.C., but otherwise, the nonprofits have been able to handle the small number of arrivals. “If Abbott wants to give them a free ride to their family here, I don’t think anyone’s going to mind. If the Texas taxpayer wants to continue to allow Abbott to do this, I’d just ask them to coordinate so we could do this in not a mean-spirited way.
Everybody wins, it seems — except for the hard-working Texas taxpayers, turned into patsies by their governor’s personal ambition.
