Texas rancher applauds bussing of migrants to NYC: Send them 'right to Biden's front door'
Gov. Abbott sending busses of migrants to NYC and DC
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Texas rancher said on "Fox & Friends First" Thursday Texas Gov. Greg Abbott should keep bussing migrants from the border to New York City and Washington, D.C.
"I hope that Greg Abbott adds another 40-something busses and brings them all up to New York and then keeps them going up to Delaware and puts them right in (Joe Biden's) front door," said Lynn Allen.
Allen said with the ongoing "recession," the American people are left to pay for these migrants and said "this country is in bad shape right now."

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is ramping up pressure on the federal government to step up and assist with the surge in migrants the city is seeing -- a week after Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser made a similar plea.
Adams has been sounding the alarm about a spike in migrants coming to the Big Apple, and specifically blaming Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for bussing migrants to the city.

Allen said ranchers like himself in Texas are seeing the consequences of the open border on their land and said illegal immigrants need to be "turned back around."

Allen said ranchers are facing issues with migrants damaging their property and leaving items behind that cows often eat in the fields.

Allen mentioned that although he is fine with people coming here legally, there is little to no information about illegal immigrants, including their country of origin and their health status.
