Rumor has it the Biden administration is on the verge of using Amtrak to transport illegal migrants from parts of the U.S. Mexican border.
According to 19 House Republicans, President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security is planning on using hard-earned taxpayer money to fund the transportation of illegal aliens from the border to cross into the country.
The House Transportation Committee blames Biden's urgent need to end Title 42 for the massive spike of illegals crossing the border, inciting GOP members to heighten the need to expose the president's plans.
In a letter to Amtrak officials, Republicans cautioned that Biden may use their transportation services for processing if immigration checkpoints are inundated with new arrivals, furthering the crisis at the border.
"We are concerned about the impact that a significantly greater border surge could cause to your services and the potential use of Amtrak in the Administration's response to its self-created border crisis," the letter reads.
"Such a situation would cause disruptions for Amtrak customers as well as interrupt freight traffic that could further exacerbate the supply chain crisis…would also constitute an unconscionable use of significant amounts of taxpayer funds and resources to aid in the vast movement of illegal migrants into American communities," the letter continued.
The Republicans said they are "deeply concerned" that Amtrak's resources will be used to move undocumented people.
"We are deeply concerned that Amtrak's resources – especially those supporting the Sunset Limited route – will be used to transport these undocumented persons. Such a situation would cause disruptions for Amtrak customers as well as interrupt freight traffic that could further exacerbate the supply chain crisis. Such actions would also constitute an unconscionable use of significant amounts of taxpayer funds and resources to aid in the vast movement of illegal migrants into American communities," the GOP members' letter said.
The Customs Border and Protection (CBP) announced earlier this week that nearly 200,000 illegal migrants have entered the U.S. in July alone, taking the total so far this fiscal year to 1.946 million encounters.
Why isnt he sending them to Mexico?
Why not? Martha’s Vinyard is looking for a few million of
these lovely people.
Diversity, remember?
Sounds like a call for more bus loads of illegals to blue cities like DC NYC Wilmington and anywhere else rich snobby libtards call home or vacation
US citizens: reach into your own pocket and pay for your Amtrack ticket.
Illegal aliens: pick the pocket of US citizens and have a seat.
This country’s done! Towns I grew up in have been destroyed by illegals and minorities bussed in from the hood. Killings, robberies, hate and disrespect are now plaguing the streets. Dems are a cancer and when they have power they destroy. Two more years of this? Forget it. (PS: just had a deputy killed here by an illegal).
Trump was the only one who wanted to stop this.
Both parties cheated him out to keep it going.
Bush II is when the invasion hit Virginia and changed it forever.
This has been bipartisan policy for 30 years, except for Trump.
If the GOP captures the House in the fall election, the party will control the power of the purse. All appropriations must originate in the House per the Constitution. Any spending by the administration can be stopped by not providing the funds.
Will the GOP use the power of the purse to reign in the Biden administration?
Houston is a mainly Spanish-speaking city.
Oh great - now Bidens planning to transport this invasion throughout the country. ......and it’s going to get worse.
Biden’s not ‘planning’ anything. He’s the front person for the behind the curtains radicals.
Republicans need to not pass any spending bills and force a government shutdown that lasts until Jan 21st, 2025, or until Biden and Harris step down. That’s a move they can do, but it will take guts.
On the bright side, it is mostly leftist cities that are served by Amtrak.
I wonder if Hunter is still on the Board of Directors of Amtrak.
I wish the idiots at the border would stop “apprehending” the refreegeez. Every time they catch these invaders, it cost the American taxpayers a small fortune to make them wards of the government.
Yes, stop HELPING border jumpers. If the USA is to have an open border then we need to stop the “welcome wagon” service. Defund the BP until we get a legitimate President.
The suspect.
I agree. We need the BPs to stop “apprehending” them and buying them bus tickets. Just change their diapers and tell them to move out briskly! Point them towards the District of Corruption and New Yawk. I think they’d like New Joysey too. If they leave now, they can be there in time for the mid-terms.
The Vineyard would tip over with a few. Million more.😀
