Well, I'm not going to claim that I'm an Abbot fan, but consider how the busing of migrants and homeless people actually works.
California, Washington, Oregon, and New York are actually engaging in human trafficking. They import and export homeless people and migrants and they do so so that they can apply for different federal assistance programs, or even as financial transactions with the other states. Take 1,000 homeless people housed in NYC, for $1,000,000 etc.
Well, DC is a major tourist trap. Although DC could ask for funding, what they'll most likely have to do is ship the migrants somewhere else. This will take funding. If they don't ship them, then the migrants sit on the streets and cause crime, disrupting tourist activity.
DC genuinely doesn't want to import additional homeless people or illegals because the embezzlement isn't as important as the tourism, so it's going to piss a bunch of people in DC off.
It's not a super-effective ultra-based maneuver. It is a political stunt that will annoy DC though. Take that as you will.
