NEW YORK (Reuters) - Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, said on Friday he has started to send buses carrying migrants to New York City in an effort to push responsibility for border crossers to Democratic mayors and U.S. President Joe Biden, a Democrat.
The first bus arrived early on Friday at the city's Port Authority Bus Terminal in midtown Manhattan carrying around 50 migrants. Volunteers were helping to steer people who had no relatives in town to city resources.
"Most of them don't have anybody to help. They don't know where to go, so we're taking them to shelters," said one volunteer at the bus station.
One family of four from Colombia, who ended up at a homeless intake center in the Bronx, were unsure of where they would spend the night. Byron and Leidy, both 28, said they left the country's capital Bogota because they were having trouble finding work.
"It's a little easier to enter the country now, before it was very hard to come here with children," said Leidy, who traveled with her kids Mariana, 7, and Nicolas, 13. She said the family had hoped someone they knew in New York would take them in, but that plan did not work out. "We came here because they said they would help us find a place to sleep to not have to stay in the street," Leidy said.
Abbott said New York City Mayor Eric Adams could provide services and housing for the new arrivals.
"I hope he follows through on his promise of welcoming all migrants with open arms so that our overrun and overwhelmed border towns can find relief," Abbott said in a statement.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, another Republican, has followed Abbott's lead and bused another 1,000 to Washington.

Good! Libs need a dose of their own medicine!
This IS NOT immigration.
Immigration is an orderly process where the applicant applies for, pays for, waits for and complies with the documents that make him an immigrant.
This is an invasion, aided and abetted by BOTH parties, intended to flood the country with foreigners in order to steal it from the citizens.
This has been bipartisan policy for 30 years and why they had to cheat Trump out.
He tried to stop it.
Got to have that cheap labor.
Lets include a Broadway play and a Yankees game.
And NYC will just send them Upstate.
MAGA red Upstate.
WTG, Gov.
Waiting for Brandon to issue an EO....except they are sanctuary cities...and that would have to be reversed.
Unlike doing it to DC (as before), a sizable fraction of the illegals would end up in New York anyway.
They need to be sent by multiple busloads.
They need to be sent to Delaware, to Martha’s Vineyard, and the Hamptons, to every place that the out of touch wealthy Democrats live. All of them.
It’s more than cheap labor, they have to steal the country from the citizens before they can subsume it to the UN in a New World Order.
Each of them should be given a free case of beer to help them out.
That’s the Democrats reason.
That’s why both parties are knee-deep in it.
Start thinning this herd of invaders. Eliminate all of their enablers.
Why isn’t Martha’s Vineyard being given the opportunity to enjoy the company of freshly minted migrants to the country??
Can I place an order for 10,000 on their behalf??
This is why I think it’s still a publicity stunt for Abbott. He could make things really hard on the Dems if he wanted to. Tell them they might have a chance to meet Obama. They would volunteer to go in droves.
Abbott says he’s helping us by shipping them on our dime around the country. Boy are we stupid
With more twists than a bowl of gemelli!
One new destination at a time... he hasn’t stopped DC shipments yet either.
You miss the point.
