The Republican governor of the US state of Texas has bused a group of asylum seekers to the city of Chicago, in an expanded effort to denounce President Joe Biden’s migration policies, and to push the responsibility of increased arrivals along the US-Mexico border, to his Democratic political rivals.Officials confirmed that two buses carrying about 60 migrants had arrived at Chicago’s main train station late on Wednesday, on a bus from Texas for the first time. The Associated Press news agency reported 75 migrants had arrived.Texas Governor Greg Abbott has bused more than 7,000 migrants to Washington, DC, and New York City since April. In a statement on Wednesday, Abbott said Chicago will now serve as “a drop-off location” for his “busing strategy”.
