Washington, D.C.'s homeless shelters are filling up because Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending busloads of migrants from his state to the nation's capital, Mayor Muriel Bowser claimed Sunday morning.

The D.C. mayor is requesting that Abbott stop preventing migrants from getting to their final destinations.

Arizona's Governor Doug Ducey followed Abbott's lead earlier this summer as they both started sending migrants from their respective states to D.C. to take some of the load off of the migration crisis hitting border states.

Due to this initiative, homeless shelters in the nation's capital are starting to cap out with these asylum-seekers.

'Well, this is a very significant issue,' Bowser told CBS News Sunday morning program Face the Nation. 'We have for sure called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses.'

'I fear that they're being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America,' she added.
