New York City Mayor Eric Adams called on the federal government for assistance after buses of migrants sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began arriving at his doorstep over the weekend.
Texas has begun busing illegal immigrants released at the border to major Democratic-leaning cities, most notably the Big Apple and Washington D.C., as part of a larger effort to raise awareness about the worsening migrant crisis and lessen the burden on the state's overwhelmed border communities. While no buses had been sent to New York until this weekend, Adams inaccurately claimed in late July that Texas and Arizona were busing migrants into his city, which is a sanctuary zone and is viewed by illegal immigrants as a safe place to reside because local police do not cooperate with federal immigration police.
“This is horrific, when you think about what the governor is doing,” Adams, a Democrat, said of Abbott, a Republican, at a press conference Sunday at the Port Authority bus terminal, where migrants were dropped off that morning.
“It is unimaginable what the governor of Texas has done, when you think about this country, a country that has always been open to those who were fleeing persecution,” the mayor noted. “We’ve always welcomed them. And this governor is not doing that in Texas. But we are going to set the right tone of being here for these families.”
Abbott, who has become a thorn in the Biden administration's side over the immigration issue, defended his actions last week by arguing that the several thousand people bused to D.C. pales in comparison to what his communities, including Eagle Pass, Tx.; Del Rio, Tx.; and McAllen, Tx., have faced for the past 16 months.

New York City desperately needs, right now, a fabulous mayor like NYC’s former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, or someone who follows his model of great governing for all the people.
Re-open Ellis Island.
........no migrant buses had been sent to New York until this weekend..........
But opportunistic Mayor Adams. eager to get his greedy paws on tax dollars, claimed in late July that Texas and Arizona were busing migrants into his city.
NYC is a migrant sanctuary and is viewed by illegal immigrants as a safe place because local police do not cooperate with federal immigration police.
“NYC Mayor Eric Adams requests federal help as Texas buses in migrants”

Step 1: Virtue signal that your city is a sanctuary city for illegal aliens
Step 2: Scream when illegal aliens are bussed into your city
Those Democrat voters you speak of are known as the “Greatest Generation”
Federal (red state taxpayer) help, like deporting illegal aliens?
Federal (red state taxpayer) help, like reimbursing Texans for the cost they paid to drive the Democrat's illegal aliens to DC and New York?
Federal (red state taxpayer) help, like bailing out "Sanctuary Cities" that continuously break the law and refuse to arrest illegal aliens?
Yup, they were pretty “great” at destroying the country.
NYC just ships its homeless Upstate.
DeSantis and Abbott know this.
If those two really want to solve this, offer illegals two choices: return home or go to jail.
Problem solved.
This bus crap is a publicity stunt.
“New York City Mayor Eric Adams “we want all the illegals you can import........................just not here””
Classic Liberal NIMBY!
Abbott needs to keep up the pressure. He has a never ending supply of “migrants”.
There should be a futures market for migrants. Trade them like a commodity.
Awww...Adams basically turns over NYC to illegals as a sanctuary city, his only use for its rightful citizens is as ATM machines to support his beloved thugs and criminals, and he’s COMPLAINING about a few more pieces of illegal filth?
From what I read there were over 40 on the bus when they left Texas, and only 14 arrived in NYC.
The illegal aliens knew when to vanish into the background.
Now, how many of those that vanished are terrorists? We have no idea where they are from.
Look around us now. With the Insanity created by the #ComDem Party disrupting the quasi normal USA, imagine how desperate the hell holes they left are.
What do they bring with them? Disease, ignorance and criminal background?
They should be treated the same way as the Florida prosecutor was, with contempt.

I know it is sick, but this makes me laugh. They are all for diversity and welcoming these people as long as they don’t come ta my house and if they do, other people can take care of my house,
Setting the right tone to this clown means that other people have to pay for it and do his job because he can’t do it.
You welcomed them with open arms and now you are complaining?
GFY!
