Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the Democratic Party in Congress, turned to social media to make a suggestion that Texas Governor Greg Abbott should step down from his position when it was revealed that he was behind the transportation of scores of migrants to Washington, D.C.
The New York Democrat, who was also the receiver of migrants when Abbott bused some of them to her state from Texas last month, stated that the continued busing of people proves to the governor "struggling" to administer his own state. Abbott bused some migrants to New York from Texas last month. She suggested that he look into other work opportunities as well.
When you abandoned Texans during the freeze and left them without food and heat, I remember how people rallied to help those in need throughout the state. These families, too, will receive our warmest welcome. They have a great deal to provide, Ocasio-Cortez mentioned this while referring to the power outage that occurred in February 2021 as a result of three severe winter storms
However, it does appear that you are having difficulty in your current position. You ought to give some thought to whether or not this kind of work is a good fit for you. In the end, she decided.
I remember how folks stepped up to help Texans when you left them cold and hungry during the freeze.
We will welcome these families too. They have so much to offer.
You do seem to be struggling at your job, though. Maybe you should consider if this is the right work for you. https://t.co/DEwHdWwzi6

This tweet was written in reaction to comments made by Governor Abbott, who stated that two buses from Texas had carried migrants to the Naval Observatory in Washington, District of Columbia.
The Republican defended his decision to dispatch the migrants in a tweet, saying that he did so because prominent officials in the Biden administration, including Vice President Kamala Harris, have consistently disputed that there is a crisis at the border.
Vice President Harris asserts that our nation's border is secure, Abbott stated. She rejects the crisis. We are dispatching migrants to her neighborhood in order to put pressure on the administration of Joe Biden to fulfill its responsibilities and protect the border.
