As the raging border crisis continues, so does bussing illegal immigrants from Texas to NYC. Two more busloads arrived Friday morning in the Big Apple sent by Governor Greg Abbott.
Abbott began sending migrants out of his state into liberal sanctuary cities thousands of miles from the U.S.-Mexico border as a way to bring evidence of the migrant crisis to their doorstep and bring attention to the issue of illegal immigration in his own state.
“Because of President Biden’s continued refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies, the State of Texas has had to take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe,” Abbott said Friday.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Washington, D.C, Mayor Muriel Bowser who are trying their best not to completely lose their cool have criticized Abbott for busing hundreds of migrants from his state’s border to their northern cities despite the fact that they have repeatedly stated their cities are ‘sanctuary cities.’
Adams called Abbott’s busing program “inhumane,” while Bowser likened the arrival of migrants to a “humanitarian crisis.”
“You see New York, you see Washington kind of drowning with a few buses,” McAllen, Texas Mayor Javier Villalobos told Fox News. “We used to get over a thousand-something people a day.”
“The city of McAllen was able to deal with thousands of immigrants a day,” Villalobos said. “I think they can handle a few hundred.”
