Texas Scorecard by Debra McClure July 25, 2024
Taxpayer-funded flights bring hundreds of illegal aliens from California to Texas each week.U.S. Rep. Chip Roy called out the Biden administration for flying hundreds of illegal aliens from California to Texas each week and for wanting to continue to send more, according to the New York Post.
“It’s offensive as a Texan,” Roy (TX-21) told The Post. “We’ve been dealing with the brunt of this for three and a half years and all prior, and now you got California all too happy to basically go along with the Biden administration’s failures and then leave us holding the bag and now they want to send us even more.”
Because San Diego facilities are overcrowded, taxpayer-funded flights, reportedly costing approximately $80,000 each, transport illegal aliens several times a week from California to Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley to be processed by Border Patrol agents for removal.
However, if illegal aliens qualify for an exemption under the Biden administration rules, they fall under the jurisdiction of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and can be eligible for release into Texas if there is a lack of space.
