Critics slam Abbott's $240 million border operation as wasteful
Original: REMEMBER: Greg Abbott wasted $240M on a border stunt that raised food prices, and has paid over $12.7 million to charter
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is being criticized over the cost of his border security operation, with claims the state wasted $240 million on a razor-wire and barrier effort that contributed to higher food prices. Critics also say Texas has paid over $12.7 million to charter company Wynne Transportation to bus migrants to New York City and Washington, DC, with opponents citing the spending ahead of the state's gubernatorial race.
Why now: Renewed criticism of Abbott's migrant busing and border spending as Texas political campaigns draw attention to the costs.
