NEW YORK - New York City is eyeing legal action to stop Texas Gov. Greg Abbott from sending more buses full of asylum seekers to the city, Mayor Eric Adams said Sunday.
As at least six more buses from Texas arrived in the city Sunday morning, Adams also floated the idea of using cruise ships to house migrants who have been entering city homeless shelters by the thousands.
“Our legal team is looking at legal challenges we could do with Texas,” Adams said in an appearance on CBS 2. “We believe there are some options we have, because when you involuntarily place someone on a bus, we believe that actually skates the law … We’re not leaving any stones unturned to make sure that New Yorkers are [not] being treated in an unfair way.”
At least 11,000 migrants have entered the city’s homeless shelters since May, including 2,500 who arrived on buses chartered by Abbott - leading Adams to declare the shelters at their “breaking point.”
The city has opened 23 emergency shelters and expects to open 38 more, the mayor said.
City Hall is now looking at the possibility of bringing in cruise ships as temporary housing, something Adams said the administration of former Mayor Mike Bloomberg considered to address a surge in homelessness, but never followed through on.
“We’re looking at that as a temporary measure, not a permanent measure. A permanent measure is get people into housing,” he said in the CBS interview. “We have to find temporary measures to address this issue.”
In a series of TV appearances Sunday, Adams pleaded with Abbott for at least a heads up about buses being sent to the city but said he has been rebuffed.

Good heavens! This means that outcomes are not equal. We must have equity - equal outcomes! We'd better get cracking on sending illegals to NYC so that New Yorkers will no longer be deprived of the blessings of equity.
Good idea.
Cops are not allowed to inquire into the country of origin of anyone or their citizenship status.
So how do the NY officials “know” who they are?
Talk about their names and status only if it will hurt the GOP governors? But at other times our little secret if they are illegals and don’t want to be found out.
Where can I contribute to fund more flights of illegals to Socialist cesspools?
maybe use Cruise Ships instead of airplanes, that would get a “move” on it!
Great idea, just take the lawsuit and scratch out Texas, and put in Joe Biden. FJB.
And states should similarly sue New York for their homeless emigration policies and sending the “unhoused” with an EBT card on a one way ticket...
Duplicitous
The border is a federal concern so his first act should be to fuss at Bidens crew.
It’s not just Abbott, the (D) mayor of El Paso has $2million allocated to send migrants to NYC, when challenged the other day he said it’s where most want to go anyway :)
Abbott is putting “migrants” into the bus and the Mayor of NYC is throwing them under the bus.
I've been saying that for a while. We are being invaded and the feral government is doing nothing about it. Personally, I'd support snipers on the Rio Grande. Pop a few of the adult males in the head and they'll stop coming pretty darn fast/
It's a lot further to swim or raft from Hawaii
The people who are enticing the border crossing need the whip. Not the poor bastards looking for a better life.
