DC Council Member Brianne Nadeau laid blame on the governors of Texas and Arizona for sending the migrants:

"So it’s been said, but it’s worth reiterating that the governors of Texas and Arizona have created this crisis and the federal government has not stepped up to assist the District of Columbia. So we, along with our regional partners will do what we’ve always done. We’ll rise to the occasion. We’ve learned from border towns like El Paso and Brownsville. In many ways the governors, Texas and Arizona have turned us into a border town."

"We don’t know how long this will take to resolve. We don’t know how long they will continue busing. And so the right thing to do here is to be prepared, to ensure we can greet every bus. We can get people off on the right foot. We can get them where they wanna go, and that will ultimately help them in their immigration."
