EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) The State of Texas paid more than $1,400 for each migrant bused from the Texas border to Washington, D.C., NBC 5 Investigates reported.
NBC 5 Investigates obtained Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) documents through an open-records request.
They found that busing costs exceeded $1.6 million in April and May, and the total bill might be higher. Records also show that most expenses were security-related, with the state hiring security guards to ride each bus. That alone topped $1 million in the early weeks of the program, according to NBC5 Investigates.
On April 6, Gov. Greg Abbot, R-Texas, announced an unprecedented state response to a migration crisis that included busing migrants to the steps of the U.S. Capitol, blocking the Rio Grande and conducting extensive searches of commercial trucks coming from Mexico.

That's an expensive bus ticket. Which of your cronies are making money off this Abbot?
