   A bus carrying 44 migrants from Texas arrived at Union Station on   
   Saturday morning, the fifth such busload sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott   
   in just over a month, according to Los Angeles officials.   
      
   The migrants arrived in downtown Los Angeles from Brownsville, Texas,   
   around 11: 30 a.m. and were met by members of the L.A. Welcome   
   Collective, which includes the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the Central   
   American Resource Center-Los Angeles, Coalition for Humane Immigrant   
   Rights and others.   
      
   The move by the Texas governor comes just four days after another bus he   
   sent — carrying 44 migrants from Venezuela, China, Guatemala, Honduras,   
   Haiti, Colombia, Chile and Brazil — arrived at Union Station from   
   Brownsville.   
      
   "The City has continued to work with City Departments, the County, and a   
   coalition of nonprofit organizations, in addition to our faith partners,   
   to execute a plan set in place earlier this year," Los Angeles Mayor   
   Karen Bass said in a statement. "As we have before, when we became aware   
   of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan."   
      
   The three other buses arrived on June 12, July 1 and July 13 carrying,   
   respectively, 42, 41 and 30 migrants.   
      
   Texas has funded the transport of more than 22,000 migrants to   
   Democratic-run cities across the U.S., including New York, Washington,   
   Chicago, Denver and Philadelphia, as part of Abbott’s protest against   
   federal immigration policies. So far, he's raised $415,397 in donations   
   to help pay for the transfer of migrants, according to the governor's   
   website.

   The irony is that these people are fleeing states with economies ravaged   
   by the politicians that most of them probably voted for or supported.
