Imagine... 2 bus loads of illegal immigrants in NYC and you can hear the weeping-wailing and gnashing of teeth. Please...
Zero sympathy for NYC and keep up the good work Governor Abbot! Maybe send more immigrants to other sanctuary cities.
"In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city," Abbott said in a statement on Friday.
He added: "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."
Seems to be an effective way for people impacted by a national policy to share the impact with other parts of the country.
Not mentioned those that have deemed opposition as racist, child cagers, whippers etc. for political gain.
Seems like NY and other areas have a big fat case of NIMBY.
Exactly
They are complaining about a couple of thousand illegal aliens being shipped to their city over a month or so, but cities in TX, AZ, NV, have thousands pouring in on a daily basis. It is about time the leftist cities feel the squeeze it puts on the border towns.
Also, why are they only complaining about the ones bused in by Abbott, and not the ones flown in at 2am in the morning during clandestine flights by the federal government?
I suspect most of those are being put into red cities and states, and hoping to give them "amnesty" so they can vote Democrat, and turn red & purple states blue.
"When you think about this country, a country that has always been open to those who are fleeing persecution and other intolerable conditions, we've always welcomed that," Adams said. "This governor is not doing that in Texas, but we are going to send the right message, the right tone, of being here for these families."
I wonder how long Adams will be so "welcoming" to these families?

Adams said some of the families on the bus were forced to be there and not allowed to go where they wanted.
And this issue with this is what? I wonder if the families that were flown and bussed under the cover of darkness to various cities in the middle of the night were given a choice?

Meh it's silly games.
NYC can get a bus and ship them back.
And in fact volunteer groups are dong just that. They will house the migrants, and re-locate them to the cities they were asking to go to...many of those cities in Texas.
Mayor Adams was on hand for the cameras Sunday to greet the city’s latest busload of migrants being dumped here from Texas — only to be stunned to learn that the vast majority had gotten off before they made it.
Hizzoner said the immigrants likely bailed out early because of their “fear” of the city.
“We were led to believe about 40 people should have been on that bus. Only 14 got off,” Adams said at a 7 a.m. press conference at Midtown’s Port Authority Bus Terminal.
The mayor suggested that the most likely reason was “because of the fear that something was going to happen to them if they came to this location, people got off earlier.”
...
The Democratic mayor later complained about the lack of information from the Republican Texas governor’s office on the buses.
“They’re not letting us know when the buses are leaving. They’re not letting us know what are the needs of the people on the bus. They are not giving us any information so we’re unable to really provide the service to people en route,” Adams complained.
Yeah... Texas doesn't get word when people are coming either.
"Adams was overheard by a New York Post reporter asking a woman organizing the disembarkment why only 14 people got off the bus, when they expected 40"
"NYC Mayor Eric Adams has suggested the majority of a busload of immigrants brought from Texas to the Big Apple fled before they arrived over a fear of the city's crime."
"'Because of the fear that something was going to happen to them if they came to this location, people got off earlier,' he speculated."
"Adams was referring to a fear of New York City's rising crime."
"When you think about this country, a country that has always been open to those who are fleeing persecution and other intolerable conditions, we've always welcomed that," Adams said. "This governor is not doing that in Texas, but we are going to send the right message, the right tone, of being here for these families."

the hypocrisy is breathtaking.
