Republican Governor of Texas Greg Abbott is something else. He said he would send immigrants by the busload to Philadelphia, a declared “sanctuary city,” and sure enough, that is exactly what he’s done.
They’re being transported from the U.S.-Mexico border by the thousands to “sanctuary cities.” In a statement announcing the bus trips to Philadelphia, Abbott’s office said Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney “has long-celebrated and fought for sanctuary city status, making the city an ideal addition to Texas’ list of drop-off locations.”
For Mayor Kenney’s part, he said he would greet the arrivals with “dignity and respect” and condemned Governor Abbott’s actions.
Mayor Kenney said the city had been working with more than a dozen local organizations to provide the migrants with shelter space, emergency health screening, food, water, language interpretation, and more. Some of the migrants are said to be planning to move on to other states. Kenney said that according to the local organizations–only three migrants reported that Pennsylvania was their final destination–while others reportedly plan to head to places such as New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. That was from the first group of migrants that arrived in Philadelphia by bus. Since then, we’ve now had the sixth bus arrive Monday, December 5th.
The group of 49 was taken to a welcoming facility on E. Luzerne Street in North Philadelphia, officials said. They are being offered food, medical care, and clothes.
