Abbott aimed for Biden with migrant busing, but hit volunteers

Gov. Greg Abbott says he’s sending a message to President Joe Biden by busing thousands of migrants from Texas border towns to D.C. But so far, it’s neither the Biden administration nor local officials who have borne the brunt of Abbott’s gambit.

A network of local aid groups and faith organizations have spent the past four months scrambling to build the type of infrastructure that has long existed along the Texas border, where non-government organizations regularly receive asylum seekers, offer them short-term assistance and help them get to their sponsors in the U.S.
