[NYP via MSM] The Biden administration has been flying migrants from California, which is being overrun, to Texas — where Gov. Greg Abbott’s tough border control measures have deterred illegal crossings into the state, The Post can reveal.For the last month, pricey Border Patrol charter flights on commercial-sized planes have been hauling border crossers from San Diego to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley, sources told The Post.
Sources say the flights, which have been operating every week, cost an estimated $80,000 and are known for being "extremely expensive."
Photos also show dozens of migrants shackled by the ankles boarding the planes, which are operated by a contractor, in San Diego.
Newcomers shackled? Shackled? In Newsome's California? By Biden's Border Patrol?
Border facilities in San Diego don’t have the operational capacity to deal with the numbers of migrants entering the region, and a number of loopholes in the Biden administration’s new border policies have made it tougher to deport certain people crossing the border. According to internal federal data, Border Patrol has transported roughly 400 migrants to Texas’ Rio Grande Valley region, where the flights are landing, since the Biden administration’s asylum restrictions started on June 6.
In the Lone Star State, restrictions enacted by Abbott, including increased National Guard troops and barricades at the border, have been effective in limiting the number of migrant crossings.
In one glaring example this spring, after Texas troops moved in to secure Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, crossings dropped from 2,000 to 3,000 a day to around five, according to Texas’ Department of Public Safety (DPS).
