A bus contractor hired by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to transport migrants to New York signed an agreeme

A contractor hired by Texas to bus migrants signed an agreement that bans them from talking to New York officials, the Associated Press reported.

Manuel Castro, commissioner of the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs, told the AP that complicates efforts to meet and provide resources for migrants being sent from Texas.

"It's a problem because we don't know when the buses are coming, how many buses are coming, if anyone on these buses has medical conditions that they will need help with, if they need a wheelchair,"Castro told the outlet. "We at least want to know that so that we can best help people as they arrive."

Volunteer groups rely in tips for help as they wait for hours in New York's Port Authority for buses from Texas to arrive.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been sending buses of migrants to democratic cities like Washington D.C. and New York to President Joe Biden's immigration policies.

They need to be seized for investigation and forensics for criminal prosecution.

Enough of this shit!

But, that's not going to happen. It's just not.

Massive walkout everywhere. That could work.
But, we are not there yet. When we finally all do get "there", it could be too late.
Do not mean to be so cynical, but I've been at this for far too long, "deep in the heart of Texas".

I do believe that Beto will beat Abbott. I also believe, probably, Abbott will still be Gov. I hope not.
