Texas Governor Gregory Abbott publicly took responsibility for sending busloads of people to Vice President Kamala Harris's house. He was "relocating migrants" at taxpayers' expense, and so far he has spent $12 Million of their money to do it.

Florida Governor Ronald DeSantis has publicly taken responsibility for sending airplane flights full of people to Martha's Vineyard. The Florida Legislature has appropriated $12 Million to fund such things.

Just like a politician. They only do anything when somebody else pays for it.
Come to think of it, aren't these really campaign expenditures paid for by taxpayers? Strange as well that these two governors have the same amount of money to play with. Do you think they will contribute any of their own money or any of their campaign's money?
As if the money wasn't a big enough issue, then there's the human trafficking thing. Let's start by following the money, see where it leads, and keep our options open.
