New York City Mayor Eric Adams' office sent a delegaton to the southern border to get 'real answers' about the busing of migrants from Texas to the Big Apple.
Mayor Eric Adams has sent a"fact-finding" delegation to the southern border, part of the ongoing battle with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott over the busing of illegal immigrants to the Big Applein Eagle Pass, Texas along the shores of the Rio Grande, where hundreds of migrants have crossed into the U.S. each day. In a statement, Adams’ office accused Abbott's office of being"unresponsive" and turning the situation"into a political sideshow.
"We’ve sent members of the team down on a fact-finding mission to hear directly from folks on the ground along the southern border and get the real answers we’re not getting from Texas, including whether they are sending asylum seekers to New York City even if they prefer to go elsewhere," Press Secretary Fabian Levy said in a statement.
"Here in New York, we will continue to welcome asylum seekers with open arms, as we learn more about the process, meet with real partners, and see, firsthand, the reportedly inhumane conditions in which asylum seekers are being subjected to by the state of Texas," he said.
Abbott’s office says it has transported approximately 1,900 migrants to New York City since the beginning of August, as well as over 7,000 to Washington D.C. since April – and started sending buses to Chicago last week.
