TWO MORE buses carrying 95 migrants arrive in NYC

Two more buses carrying illegal immigrants arrived in the Big Apple on Wednesday, just one day after Mayor Eric Adams threatened to send New Yorkers to Texas in an effort to unseat its Republican governor.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began sending buses of undocumented immigrants to New York City last week in protest of President Joe Biden’s plan to end a pandemic-era program that allowed border agents to more easily thwart crossings.

He has already bused in thousands of people from Texas, and on Wednesday two more buses pulled into the Port Authority carrying 95 people each. At least five of the incoming migrants were women.

These migrants have already flooded New York City shelters as they look for work, and on Tuesday night, the New York City Council held a special hearing focusing on how it could deal with the influx of migrants.

Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in a news conference earlier on Tuesday, he has ‘called all of my friends in Texas and told them how to cast their vote’ in the upcoming gubernatorial election, in which Abbott will face off against Beto O’Rourke.

‘I am deeply contemplating taking a busload of New Yorkers to go to Texas and do some good old fashion door knocking, because for the good of America we have to get him out of office.’

In response, Abbott’s campaign spokesman told DailyMail.com: ‘It sounds like the Mayor of New York has taken on the additional role of political director for the Beto O’Rourke campaign.’

In his news conference on Tuesday, Adams announced that the city’s shelter system has been overwhelmed by 4,000 immigrants who have flooded into the city looking for shelter and work.

He called Abbott’s program ‘irresponsible’ for using human beings for a ‘political ploy,’ and has previously called Abbott’s plan ‘horrific.’ 

‘It’s unimaginable to come to this country and your first visit here and someone trying to throw you out as the Governor of Texas is doing,’ Adams said. 

‘I think he’s irresponsible. I don’t think he’s accomplishing anything. There’s a reason the Statue of Liberty is there. We all came from somewhere… I don’t think he’s accomplishing anything except exposing the type of individual that he is.’

Adams’ press office said that they could not speak to the mayor’s threat to send New Yorkers to Texas to vote against Abbott, but said it is something the mayor is contemplating.

Just hours after the news conference, the New York City Council met to discuss how the city’s homeless shelters could deal with the influx of new migrants.

‘What is new now is the systematic diversion of asylum seekers and immigrants to New York City by external forces including by the disgusting, cruel and cowardly actions of Texas Gov Greg Abbott,’ Immigration Commissioner Manuel Castro said at the hearing, according to ABC News.

But Adrienne Adams, chair of the Committee on General Welfare, said the city has had problems with its resources long before these immigrants arrived.

She called for more transparency and accountability to serve the incoming migrants.

‘While there may be a rise in those seeking asylum in New York City, this does not mean they are to blame for issues that have historically plagued our system,’ Adams said.

Meanwhile, Abbott has called Adams a ‘hypocrite’ for denouncing the influx of migrants to the city. 

‘Mayor Adams is hypocritically upset about welcoming a few dozen into his sanctuary city,’ the governor said.

‘What’s horrific is the thousands of illegal immigrants overrunning and overwhelming our border communities with populations smaller than a New York City borough.’

New York has considered itself a sanctuary city for undocumented migrants and does not cooperate with immigration enforcement officers on deportation or detention matters.

Adams, who New Yorkers have criticized for trying to roll back criminal justice reform, has been using the spat with to prove his Democratic bona fides.

Abbott has found Adams to be a useful foil to show Texas voters that he’s tough on immigration. 

O’Rourke, the governor’s political rival, won just under a million votes in the Democratic primary in March. Abbott won 1.3 million votes.
