First bus of migrants from Texas arrives in New York City
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- The first bus of migrants sent from Texas by Governor Greg Abbott arrived in New York City on Friday morning.
- A group of about 50 migrants was dropped off at Port Authority Bus Terminal.
- Governor Abbott said, “in addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants.”
The first busload of illegal migrants sent from Texas by Governor Greg Abbott has been dropped off in New York City on Friday morning.
About 50 migrants, who arrived at a Port Authority Bus Terminal, were greeted and brought into the custody of non-governmental charity workers and volunteers.
Abbott has been sending border-crossers into Blue cities to bring attention to the issue of illegal immigration crisis in his own state.
“Because of President Biden’s continued refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies, the State of Texas has had to take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe,” said Abbott.
As part of its campaign to get the federal government’s attention, Abbott had also shipped illegal migrants to the nation’s capital from Texas by bus.
“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.
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.”
The most recent busload of migrants from Texas arrived in D.C. late Tuesday night. At least 5,100 migrants have been sent to the nation’s capital, Texas said.
Last week, Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser requested the District of Columbia National Guard be activated indefinitely to assist with what she called a “humanitarian crisis.” She is known for championing accepting migrants entering the country illegally as a human rights issue,
Both Bowser and New York City Mayor Eric Adams have sounded the alarm about migrants being sent to their cities, with the city leaders blaming Arizona and Texas for the influx. Arizona has denied sending migrants to the Big Apple.
Abbott has asked the mayors to visit the Southern border, but Adams declined.

GOOD FOR YOU, GOV. ABBOTT. THE HIPPOCRITE MAYORS OF D.C. AND NYC SEEM TO EXPECT THE SOUTHERN BORDER STATES TO HANDLE THEM ALL BUT THIS IS A NATIONAL PROBLEM AND THEY’RE PART OF THIS NATION.
IF THEY HAVE ISSUES , THEN TAKE THEM UP WITH THE SO-CALLED ‘PRESIDENT’.
HOPEFULLY THE NEXT STOP WILL BE DELAWARE.

These immigrants are not who are responsible for the mass shootings in TX. This is a childish and inhumane action. But when a governor hides the facts from the Uvalde shooting, I wouldn’t expect him to be a real Governor. Abbott is why Texas is a disaster. How did you like losing electricity last summer because your Governor is too busy doing tit for tat than keep the well being of Texans top of mind.

Deport them, Governor Greg Abbot! Don’t do the Marxist’s work for them!
Did’ja ever wonder why Congress, Texas and Arizona caved the next 68 years to the ranchers and farmers …after President Eisenhower ran all the illegal aliens out in Operation Wetback? ……..Bribes perhaps?? Ya, that was it.
How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico

WASHINGTON
George W. Bush isn’t the first Republican president to face a full-blown immigration crisis on the US-Mexican border.
Fifty-three years ago, when newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America’s southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond.
President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents – less than one-tenth of today’s force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.

Good work! Send more to Martha’s Vineyard to Obama’s compound. Then since Gavin Newscum & aunt Pelosi have made our state of CA a sanctuary State, send some bus loads to Sacramento, deposit them at Gavin’s gated mansion as well as Pelosi’s mansion! Drop a whole lot off at Malibu beach to Hunters huge mansion! Tax payer’s already have to pay $30,000.00 per month there so might as well fill it up with migrants, Hunter can share, he has plenty of room with 2 mansions together!
And keep sending them to NY, Delaware, DC, Martha’s Vineyard. These migrants take a lot of money to be able to live here, if enough liberals object, maybe they will WAKE up and vote these Democrats out……in the meantime idiot liberals can get less handouts from the government so the migrants have enough!
Our Republic is such a shit hole due to liberal’s…..hang them all!

A Shure cure for illegal entry into the US. You line the border with a bunch of catapults, and as soon as you catch a illegal you bring them to the nearest catapult and send them back! Guaranteed word will spread fast.

Abbot is a cruel person. These people work our farms , orchards, etc. Look at the mess in Texas last winter. He can’t even run his state so when he is elected President he can run the country. The people were in danger in their homeland but he doesn’t care. Maybe Texas should go back to not belonging to the US. He certainly doesn’t have American values. He should read what it says on the Statue of Liberty. G
Sick and Tierd of listening to empty headed MORONS

Hey ABBOTT you F—ING CRIPPLED LITTLE P—Y, if the boarder patrol is so overwhelmed why don’t you do what your FAT F—ING BUDDY CHUMP should have done when you COMMUNIST F—S were attacking the CAPITOL and activate the national guard to give them a hand, CHUMP THE TRAITOR that he is built however many feet of his great wall and they still got in, I was noticing in all the BRAINLESS comments from the COMMIES that they had NOTHING in them about your great FAT F— CHUMP how he separated all those families that this administration is still trying to get back together. So before you make any ignorant remarks you little BITCH keep this in mind one of your residents KILLED 19 of resident CHILDREN and 2 teachers because your P—Y PARTY won’t take the weapon that killed them off the market, so take a LONG RIDE in your wheel chair off a SHORT PIER, so nobody has to listen to your STUPIDITY.

You far left liberals show your true hateful colors. You can’t communicate without using the F word. I don’t care how much you disagree with conservatives .How about you” sick and tired ” change places with Govenor Abbott and run the state of Texas and spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair. Whenever you don’t get your way you use violence. Most countries have a legal process for entering their countries and they know who it is that is entering. Not the US. Biden says come on in and bring some rapists, human traffickers, fentanyl, and send your children, alone, to be raped by the coyotes along their way. And guess who is paying for all of these immigrants. Your taxes are! I suppose the burning and looting that went on in all the Democratic run cities can not be compared to the ridiculous Jan 6 protest. Our county is in ruins. Your paying more for gas, food ,utilities, houses. Your losing your investments. Streets are covered with the homeless. Electric cars, solar panels, wind turbines are being pushed down our throats before we can acclimate from fossil fuels. And I am sure most can afford a 60,000 electric car. And where are all those old solar panels going to go? I’m tired of listening to your stupidity. Educate yourself please.

Slow down “Sick and tired”, yes, it’s spelled tired not tierd.
Crippled, yikes, it is disabled.
Fat shaming is a no no.
Bitch, slanderous towards birthing people.
You need to work on being politically correct when spewing your Chump hatred or people will think you ignorant (your word not mine).
BTW they have meds for your condition.
