Paul Best - Yesterday 4:54 PM
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday that the city is at a "breaking point" due to thousands of migrants who have been sent by bus from Texas in recent weeks.

"In the last few months, we have experienced an unprecedented surge of asylum seekers arriving from the southern border," Adams said Wednesday.
"In this new and unforeseen reality, where we expect thousands more to arrive every week going forward, the city’s system is nearing its breaking point. As a result, the city’s prior practices, which never contemplated the bussing of thousands of people into New York City, must be reassessed."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been bussing migrants to New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago in an effort to offer border towns relief and raise awareness about the crisis.
Since early August, Texas has sent more than 2,200 migrants to New York City, 7,900 migrants to the nation's capital, and about 300 migrants to Chicago.
