Data obtained by NBC News seems to indicate that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did not send a single bus full of migrants out of the state in July, despite his vow at the Republican National Convention on July 17 to keep sending buses north until the border is “secure.”
In July 2023, Abbott sent 95 buses with 4,281 migrants to cities around the country, according to numbers from the Texas Division of Emergency Management obtained by NBC News through a Freedom of Information Act request.
This July, he sent zero.

Not fair. What are the Repubs going to campaign on?
Unemployment - low. Economy - booming. And, now no migrants that Repubs can exploit? Come on, Dems. Give the poor Repubs a bone.
Lord knows the ticket is weird as it is...
