 Texas Gov. Abbott escalates feud with Eric Adams by ‘shamelessly’ sending migrant buses to NYC

The move follows Adams’ refusal earlier in the week to accept Abbott’s invitation to visit the Texas border towns where migrants are crossing into the U.S.

In an apparent act of spite against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday announced the state will begin busing people who recently crossed the border to New York City.

The battle between the two leaders began last month when Adams blamed the Abbott administration, along with the government of Arizona, for flooding New York City’s shelter system by sending asylum seekers from Latin America here. Both governors denied doing so. Abbott previously announced Texas was sending people to Washington, D.C. in an effort to get the attention of President Joe Biden.

Adams’ comments also drew ire from homeless advocates, who said the mayor was essentially blaming the migrant influx for chaos and overcrowding in the city’s shelter system that has been intensifying for months.

I don't understand!  NY is a sanctuary for the poor, hungry, and homeless!  They love the welfare people, the more the better!  So why does Adams have such a burr up is *ss about being sent more poor and needy?  More in need of welfare medical care.  Why he should be thanking his lucky stars Abbot is thoughtful enough to send more destitute there. :whistle:

NYC wants open borders but not the consequences. They need to take their fair share.
