A contractor hired by Texas to bus migrants signed an agreement that bans them from talking to New York officials, the Associated Press reported.

Manuel Castro, commissioner of the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs, told the AP that complicates efforts to meet and provide resources for migrants being sent from Texas.

"It's a problem because we don't know when the buses are coming, how many buses are coming, if anyone on these buses has medical conditions that they will need help with, if they need a wheelchair,"Castro told the outlet. "We at least want to know that so that we can best help people as they arrive."

Volunteer groups rely in tips for help as they wait for hours in New York's Port Authority for buses from Texas to arrive.

**SNIP**

The AP reported that so far about 8,000 migrants were bused from Texas to Washington D.C. and another 2,200 were bused to New York City.

While some migrants told the AP they were grateful for the help they received to reach East Coast cities, the New York Times reported that the influx has meant that the volunteer and non-profit groups helping these migrants have been overwhelmed, and many migrants are ending up in homeless shelters.

In a statement to the AP, Abbott's office dismissed criticism of the lack of communication.

"Instead of complaining about fulfilling their sanctuary city promises, these Democrat hypocrites should call on President Biden to do his job and secure the border - something the president continues failing to do," spokeswoman Renae Eze said Thursday.

Problem is, our current president isn’t capable of knowing when to wipe his butt, let alone how to secure the border.

They were told anything any differently than the NGOs and contractors hired to deliver and disperse all the Biden invaders these last 2.5 years.

Does anybody here actually believe that federal officials that were involved in any the THEIR bus/plane operations EVER communicated with the various STATE and LOCAL governments on which they were dumping the invaders?

They're people....if they had been screened at the border...as called for in our immigration policy...they wouldn't be in the country to start with. Yet you expect the border states to do everything...

Time to close the border....for real.

They are slow learners. Not very good about cause and effect. Indeed, they need more lessons.

Castro’s statement is so full of false concern about the illegals. He doesn’t care about their health conditions, whether they need a wheelchair etc. He is just trying to shame the governors of states sending the illegals to his state by implying they don’t care about the illegals and as proof he throws out the medical condition etc red herring. What Castro is really complaining about is that they don’t know when the busses are coming so they can’t meet them and turn them around.

I now.

What he doesn’t realize, or chooses to ignore, is that that puts them in the same position of the border states the left is inflicting the illegals on.
