Texas orders new border action, migrant bus charters to DC - WWAYTV3

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Tom Homan, the former acting director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement under Trump, said at a border security conference in San Antonio last week he had spoken with Abbott about the idea.
54% : When that happens, it is expected to draw potentially thousands more migrants to the southern border.
54% : Border Patrol officials say they are planning for as many as 18,000 arrivals daily once the health policy, known as the Title 42 authority, expires in May.
51% : Their plan involves a novel interpretation of the U.S. Constitution to have the National Guard or state police forcibly send migrants to Mexico, without regard to immigration laws and law enforcement procedures.
51% :Cuccinelli said in practice, he envisions the plan would look similar to the enforcement of Title 42, which circumvented U.S. obligations under American law and international treaty to provide asylum.
50% :Texas officials also said they would begin "increased military activity" on the southern border and install razor wire at some low-water along the river to deter migrants from crossing.
34% : The mission has also drawn criticism from Guard members over long deployments and little to do, and some arrests have appeared to have no connection to border security.
20% : Still, the efforts do not go far enough for some former Trump administration officials, who are pressing Abbott to declare an "invasion" and give state law enforcement sweeping new authority to turn back migrants - essentially bestowing enforcement powers that have been a federal responsibility.
10% : U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat whose district includes the Texas border, has criticized the Biden administration over border security and ending Title 42.
