Nary a peep from Dems about their fellow Dem exporting migrants from Texas to Chicago and NYC

The Democratic-controlled Texas city of El Paso along the southern border is sending more illegal immigrants to New York and Chicago than a highly publicized effort by the state of Texas to send migrants to those cities.
Reuters reported that El Paso, Texas, has bused 7,000 illegal immigrants to New York City since late August and more than 1,800 to Chicago. That outpaces the bussing undertaken by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who has sent 3,000 illegal immigrants to New York City and 900 to Chicago.
City officials say the buses were needed because up to 2,000 migrants were arriving daily, including impoverished Venezuelans without family in the United States to pay for onward travel.
Gov. Abbott has also sent almost 10,000 illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., including as recently as Thursday when a busload of migrants was dropped off not far from the home of Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Biden administration has been a vocal critic of Republican governors attempting to shine a spotlight on the record influx of illegal immigration at the southern border by sending migrants to liberal strongholds in the north.
"What they are doing is an illegal stunt, is a political stunt," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said last month about Abbott and Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis sending illegal immigrants north. "And it's really just disrespectful to humanity. It doesn't afford them any dignity, what they're doing when you are abandoning families and children in a place where they were told they were going to get housing.
"It is just cruel, and it's not about the process. Actually, It's about a political tool or political stunt that they're moving forward with."
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the migrant bussing out of El Paso, Texas.
El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, said the city's program is "completely different" than the Republican bussing efforts and that the city seeks to "treat people with respect."
Leeser added that the migrant bussing, which began last year but picked up when illegal immigration surged at the border, is coordinated with the state of New York and that El Paso is seeking reimbursement from the federal government for the travel expenses.
"This is a federal issue," Leeser said. "They’re not coming to El Paso, they’re coming to the United States."
