Texas style ?

"Texas governor predicted donations would pay for busing migrants out of state. He’s collected less than 1% of that cost

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott boasted shortly after he began soliciting private donations for his controversial migrant busing program that there would likely “be no cost to the state” given the outpouring of support from concerned citizens across the country.

But after nearly two years of fundraising to offset the program’s costs, Abbott’s operation has collected less than half of 1% of the roughly $150 million spent on busing migrants to sanctuary cities, according to a review of state records.

And CNN found that the largest donation – $900,000 – never made it into the state’s coffers, either because it was a mistake or a prank.

Records show that at most, around $550,000 has been raised to date."

How much would it have cost Texas to have “kept and housed” the people it “bused out?

if New York is spending $9+ billion, it would seem that $150 million was a bargain!!!!!
