As Texans mark their absentee mail ballots or head to the polls on Monday to vote in the "First-In-The-Nation" 2022 primaries it's worth taking a trip down memory lane to June 4, 2021.
That was the day Texas RINO Congressman Tony Gonzales wrote to Jennifer Miller, Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Energy, and Environment, requesting she work with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to fly the illegal aliens out of his Texas congressional district and essentially dump them onto the taxpayers of Louisiana, New York and Florida.
"I am writing to express my support for expanding access to Laughlin Air Force Base in Del Rio,
Texas to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE).
As you know, the Del Rio Border Patrol Sector is experiencing record levels of migrant
apprehensions. Local, state, and federal entities in the region are thus severely limited in their
detainment and processing capabilities. As a result, substantial numbers of migrants, pending trial,
are being released into communities in my district, overwhelming local resources and creating
unsustainable bottlenecks.
To help alleviate the high traffic this region is enduring, I urge you to collaborate with ICE to
facilitate flights for migrants out of Laughlin Air Force Base and to their final destinations. The
current crisis on the border requires law enforcement agencies to be adaptable in their operations and
work with counterparts to effectively manage federal resources.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and please contact my office if any questions arise."
We now know the Biden Administration made good on Texas RINO Congressman Tony Gonzales' request.
Even Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson exploded when he learned the Laughlin AFB flights were dumped in Alexandria, LA.
“There are a lot more questions than there are answers right now,” said U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La. “In fact, we are seeking those answers. I sent a letter to the President himself just two days ago that we get some of this data that’s accurate, that we get some of the plans of ICE.”
Then there were comments from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis:
Governor Ron Desantis proposes bussing illegal immigrants, brought to Florida, up to Delaware. "I will send them to Delaware and do that. If he's (President Biden) not going to support the border being secured, then he should be able to have everyone there." pic.twitter.com/V8WuoUTGD4

Instead of Tony's Texas voters and communities being overwhelmed his thought process was for Joe Biden to dump this mess on Louisiana, New York and Florida.
