Bus by Bus, Texas’ Governor Changed Migration Across the U.S.
By J. David Goodman, Keith Collins, Edgar Sandoval and Jeremy White


A New York Times analysis of state records, immigration data collected by Syracuse University and records from the destination cities, as well as interviews with dozens of migrants, city officials and immigration organization leaders, show that the Texas program is continuing to expand its reach — new target cities include Boston, Detroit and Albuquerque — and helping to reshape migration across the United States. For every five migrants who had immigration court hearings scheduled in New York, Chicago or Denver over the last two years — a clue to where they planned to live — one migrant traveled to those cities on a state-funded bus from Texas.
