New York City Mayor Eric Adams used taxpayer funds to send migrants to red states including Texas and Florida with some even being sent as far as South America and China despite trashing Republican governors for sending them to the Big Apple.
Adams, a Democrat, spent about $50,000 of the city's money to send 114 migrant households elsewhere in the world as the city is overrun with asylum seekers in the tens of thousands.
A total of 28 families were sent to Florida with 14 being sent to Texas, a few were sent to Colombia and one family to China. The migrants were allowed to choose where they were sent, reports Politico.
The mayor has previously slammed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott for bussing migrants to New York and other northeastern locales in what he called a 'political stunt.'
'This was part of a political ploy and that's what we need to understand,' Adams said on CNN at the time.
'I mean, what was his purpose of sending a planeload to Martha's Vineyard? He just felt as though he wanted to get into this horrendous action,' he added in a press conference, according to ABC News.
Abbott has sent around 9,700 asylum seekers to New York City, according to Politico. DeSantis has flown about 85 migrants to Massachusetts and California.
Kate Smart, a spokesperson for the mayor, bizarrely tried to contrast the city's efforts with those of Florida and Texas.
'New York City has, as we have discussed very publicly for months, worked to connect individuals with friends, family, and networks whether in New York City or outside of it,' Smart said in a statement.
'We are not coercing people to leave, we are not suggesting or recommending locations...

Adams sent some to China?!?!
XD XD XD... love it.
Oh, only one family.
He musta’ caught the dumbest family in Mexico.
>> border crossers
Like calling murderers mortality expediters
Dang son! Send them all to China!
For every one they send to Texas or Florida those states should send three to N.Y. and start by emptying their jails of any illegals who have been arrested for crimes in the U.S. after illegally entering Texas or Florida. Since the feds won’t deport them just let them know that if they commit crimes in N.Y. they don’t get in trouble and offer them a release from jail and a one way ticket to N.Y. under the provision they never return to Texas or Florida less they incur a heavy penalty.
He may have been cooperating with one of the secret Chinese “police stations”. What are the chances that they weren’t told where they were going?
I think he either sent somebody back, as you say, or possibly a spy.
Only the Chinese
Play ping pong. As soon as they land in TX or FL send them back to NY.
Those Chinese secret police stations....were mostly there to monitor ex-Chinese folks who’d walked out of China. I would imagine surveillance/phone monitoring was going on, but we will never get to that part of the story.
They are not going to take them in I can guarantee that .
I wonder if it was someone who previously escaped China, and was being sent back, to face a firing squad? Maybe it dawned on the guy, when all the flight attendants were speaking Chinese. What a miserable flight that would be.
How in H do they get on a plane for international travel? Passports? People are abused at the airports and these aliens are given passage without ID. I wonder when the next explosion takes place?
It sounds like the mayor deported the illegals. Is that a green light for other mayors?
EC
Chinese will do anyhing to save a buck. Got a free trip to see the relatives and they’ll be back.
It might be complicated.
We live in a country with entirely to many stupid people.
50K? In NYC’s usual graft means about 5 to 10 people were given air fare.
Yeah. Send them ALL to China. Good idea there nunbnutts
