Daily Mail Online Texas Governor Greg Abbott appears set for a huge victory on the border crisis, as President Joe Biden and Washington Democrats look likely to cave on Republican demands for a crackdown on migrants.
The Republican posted to X on Tuesday, announcing the success of his program to bus illegal migrants to Democrat-led cities.
He said his initiative has amounted to the transfer of nearly 100,000 migrants to cities such as New York, Boston, Denver, and Chicago - where leaders are being forced to find accommodation for them.
Those Democrat-led areas bill themselves as 'sanctuary cities' that welcome migrants.
But the New York Times reported that their mayors are so perturbed by the migrant crisis, they've been pleading with the White House for help - with the president likely to offer Republicans previously-unthinkable concessions on migration laws.
What Republicans appear to be targeting is what's known as a 'credible fear interview', where asylum seekers argue they should stay in the U.S. because they would be in danger if they returned to their home country.
That is an early hurdle for prospective asylum seekers that, if the likes of Abbott get their way, would have them sent back home much earlier in the migration process, according to the New York Times.
The White House and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is also considering rules that would allow faster deportations of illegal migrants, considered a pipe dream at the beginning of the Biden administration. " . . .
