First Texas bus of 50 mostly male illegal migrants arrives in NYC: Gov. Abbott says Big Apple is the ‘ideal destination’ and challenges liberal Mayor Adams to welcome them - as arrivals say city has ‘best opportunities’ in nation
New York City now joins Washington D.C. as a drop-off location for migrants
They ‘can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about’ Abbott added
Last week, Mayor Adams declared a city emergency because of the influx
A group of charity workers and volunteers greeted the roughly 50 migrants, who were mostly men, before they ventured into the city for hotels or shelters.
One of the arrivals Jose Rodriguez, 38, told DailyMail.com he chose New York because it has the ‘best opportunities’ of the options he was given when he crossed the border.
He added that the group wasn’t allowed to leave a building in Texas building they were housed in and he lost all of his documents in his journey over the Rio Grande.
Bertilio Rosale, 54, also told DailyMail.com on arrival: ‘I want to see the Statue of Liberty and the rest of the city. There are more job opportunities here, I will do anything I can. The bus here was good, we have all come from all over.’
Last week? Emergency?
The first bus arrived today. And it was only 50 illegals.
Love this!
