Texas Ships Illegals to DC*

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Behind that announcement is to relieve some of the strain on ... the local border community, but especially for our federal partners -- U.S. Border Patrol because they are so overwhelmed right now and the processing facilities are at capacity.
41% : Texas Department of Public Safety Lieutenant Chris Olivarez took up Abbott's defense: The governor was very clear yesterday when he made that announcement, and that's just an example of strong leadership by not only standing up for Texans in law enforcement, but also taking a stance against the federal government by sending a clear message that the state of Texas has zero tolerance, and we are no longer going to tolerate the mass releasing of illegal immigrants into border communities because it puts a strain on resources.
