El Paso's Democratic mayor said Sunday that he is only busing migrants to New York City to help them get to their final destination as critics pointed out the hypocrisy in the left condemning Republicans for doing the same thing.
Mayor Oscar Leeser said migrants aren't coming to the U.S. just to land in his border city, but instead are looking to go to other places in the country – potentially where they have family or other sponsors.
'The people are not coming to El Paso,' Leeser said. 'They're coming to America.'
He said that authorities in El Paso speak to migrants and ask them where they want to go before 'we will take them and help them get to their destination.'
'That's been really important that we don't send anyone where they don't want to go,' he added in an interview with ABC's This Week on Sunday morning. 'We make sure we help them.'
'We put them on buses with food and make sure they get to their destination and make sure that we always continue to greet and treat people like human beings.'
Leeser's explanation comes despite criticism from Democrats after GOP Governors in Texas, Florida and Arizona bussed and flew migrants to other cities after illegally crossing into the U.S.
El Paso has so far sent 51 buses with 2,365 migrants to New York City since August 23 – and seven more buses left on Saturday toward the Big Apple.
The Democratic city, according to Fox News, signed a contract worth up to $2 million with the bus company to continue the transportation of migrants.
**SNIP**
Lesser and his Democrat government in El Paso have been sending migrants to the sanctuary city for weeks – and asking the Biden administration to front the bill.

Highly recommend Martha’s Vineyard. It is lovely and welcoming this time of the year.
58 buses.....LMAO, AdamsIdiot going to be so pissed!
He’s off the plantation.
“...Horizontal’s hut...”
😂🤣😂
Excellent. Much better than “Heel’s Up”. Duly noted and saved for future use with the exception that I will revise it to “Horizontal the Hut”.
Danka, FRiend. 👍
We live in a criminal country where government is aiding and abetting crime.
Note to self: Investigate the for hire bus company stocks as an investment opportunity!
At least you refrained from using the words Carpet and Down.
Gotta throw this one out there.
How many of these border jumpers recieved
their Covid shots? (with boosters to follow)
If the government is forcing our military
to get these inoculations, and not these
money grabbers, the hypocrisy is
unfathomable.
I can hardly wait for November.
Yep, truly a banana republic.
I don’t know for sure, but do you suppose I would be pretty accurate, if I said zero?
Hey Dems, is this Democrat an evil monster too?
Hey Dems, is this Democrat an evil monster too?
Now we cater to illegals? Christ. It’s not enough they escaped the “horrors” of their 3rd world shitholes but now these fools are delivering them to their dream destinations.
Miggies want a bite of the “Big Apple” too!
They want to be a part of it,
New York, New York…
That’s an excellent description and great response. All Governors, etc. should use it.
As they board the buses, someone should be there to hand out “Biden/Harris” T-shirts for them to wear when they reach their destination.
Noooooo! Howl the hypocritical Lib “elites” - Nooooooo!
I bet the Dems made sure to give them a voter registration card to vote with their care packages as well.
