After busing migrants to D.C., Texas Gov. Greg Abbott brags that he's now targeting New York

A New York official admonished Abbott for using human beings as political pawns, calling the move an 'embarrassing stain on the state of Texas.'

Days after New York City Mayor Eric Adams declined Gov. Greg Abbott's invitation to come to the Texas-Mexico border, Texas' GOP governor has dropped off a busload of migrants at a Port Authority bus terminal in the Big Apple.

Or so says a press release issued Friday by Abbott's office.

The migrants' arrival in New York appears to be the latest warm squirt in a pissing match between Abbott and Adams, a high profile Democrat. It also comes a week after Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser blasted Abbott's busing program for creating what she called a "humanitarian crisis" in the nation's capital.

Abbott has publicly bragged about busing more than 6,000 migrants to D.C. to show his disdain for President Joe Biden's border policies. Critics on both the left and right have called Abbott's initiative an election-year publicity stunt.
