A second bus carrying immigrants from Texas arrived in Philadelphia Monday morning, a twice-in-six-days sequel that propelled the city to offer fresh welcome to more weary, uncertain travelers from the border.
Immigration advocates said the bus with an estimated 48 passengers was sent here by Gov. Greg Abbott. It landed outside 30th Street Station in freezing temperatures, welcomed by city officials and immigrant leaders.The men and women aboard had crossed the southern border into Texas, and all have permission to be in the United States, at least for now. The travelers originally came from Nicaragua, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru and the Dominican Republic.
The first arrived on Wednesday, sent here by Abbott in what he said was an effort to bring “much-needed relief” to Texas’ border communities — and that Mayor Jim Kenney called a despicable political stunt, one that used immigrant families as pawns to push a “warped political agenda.” “At that price,” he tweeted, “Texas could have bought each person multiple first-class plane tickets.”
