That's a fair point, but I also think that there is nuance. The economy of most major cities isn't based on the agricultural industry that most illegal immigrants work in. Cities generally already have high housing costs and density. So a sudden population surge is going to be more difficult to manage. Basically Abbott bussed immigrants to the places that are least setup to be able to absorb them. So it's not surprising that there are problems. That doesn't necessarily reflect on whether immigrants are a net gain once they have been absorbed into the economy.
