州长格雷格·艾伯特周一反驳道反对白宫的尖锐批评他在周末用大巴将更多的移民送往华盛顿特区，他们在零下的气温中抵达副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯位于平安夜的家。
“白宫充满了一群伪君子，为首的伪君子....阿博特的发言人Renae Eze在一份声明中说:“拜登总统和边境沙皇哈里斯需要加紧努力，做好保护边境的工作，而不是虚伪地抱怨得克萨斯州为我们被占领和不堪重负的边境社区提供急需的救济。
雅培(公司名)定期用巴士接送来自德克萨斯州的移民几个月来，他一直在抗议“鲁莽的”联邦边境政策，并为边境社区提供“救济”。
德克萨斯州应急管理部门的一名发言人在9月份表示，该州在这些旅行上已经花费了超过1200万美元，其中包括包机和安全费用。
白宫周日将最近的公交车事件称为“残忍、危险和可耻的噱头”
艾米·费舍尔(Amy Fischer)是一名救援人员，她在哈里斯位于海军天文台的住所外表示，包括许多家庭在内的139名移民于周六晚些时候乘坐三辆巴士抵达，没有人穿着御寒装备。气温在十几度。
费舍尔告诉美国广播公司新闻，这些人随后被带到一个地区教堂。
雅培的发言人Eze在周一的声明中表示，乘坐大巴的人“自愿选择前往”，并“在登机时签署了多种语言的自愿同意弃权书，同意前往目的地。”

Eze随后将责任推给了联邦政府。
“它们是由联邦政府处理和释放的，他们将它们倾倒在埃尔帕索等得克萨斯州边境城镇的历史水平上，由于拜登制造的危机，这些城镇最近宣布进入紧急状态，”Eze说。
白宫方面周日表示，他们认为政治解决仍有可能。
发言人阿卜杜拉·哈桑(Abdullah Hasan)在一份声明中说，“正如我们反复说过的那样，我们愿意与任何人合作，无论是共和党人还是民主党人，共同寻找真正的解决方案，比如拜登总统上任第一天就提交给国会的全面移民改革和边境安全措施，但这些政治游戏什么也做不了，只会把生命置于危险之中。”
Greg Abbott pushes back on criticism after busing migrants to VP's home on freezing Christmas Eve
Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday pushed back against the White House's sharp criticism of him busing more migrants to Washington, D.C., over the weekend -- where they arrived outside Vice President Kamala Harris' home on Christmas Eve in subfreezing temperatures.
"The White House is full of a bunch of hypocrites, led by the Hypocrite-in-Chief .... Instead of their hypocritical complaints about Texas providing much-needed relief to our overrun and overwhelmed border communities, President Biden and Border Czar Harris need to step up and do their jobs to secure the border—something they continue failing to do," Renae Eze, a spokesperson for Abbott, said in a statement.
Abbott has been periodically busing migrants from Texas for months in protest of "reckless" federal border policies, he has said, and to provide "relief" to border communities.
A spokesperson for the Texas Division of Emergency Management said in September that the state had spent more than $12 million on the trips, which include charter buses and security.
The White House on Sunday labeled the latest busing a "cruel, dangerous, and shameful stunt."
Amy Fischer, an aid worker who was outside Harris' residence at the Naval Observatory said that 139 migrants, including many families, arrived late Saturday in three buses and none wore cold-weather gear. The temperature was in the teens.
The people were subsequently taken to an area church, Fischer told ABC News.
Eze, Abbott's spokesperson, said in the statement on Monday that the people who were bused "willingly chose to go" and "signed a voluntary consent waiver available in multiple languages upon boarding that they agreed on the destination."
Eze then redirected the blame back on the federal government.
"They were processed and released by the federal government, who are dumping them at historic levels in Texas border towns like El Paso, which recently declared a state of emergency because of the Biden-made crisis," Eze said.
The White House, for its part, said Sunday that they believed a political was still possible.
"As we have repeatedly said, we are willing to work with anyone -- Republican or Democrat alike -- on real solutions, like the comprehensive immigration reform and border security measures President Biden sent to Congress on his first day in office, but these political games accomplish nothing and only put lives in danger," a spokesman, Abdullah Hasan, said in a statement.
