Gov. Greg Abbott puts on a scowl and a faux-military shirt for a photo op along the U.S.-Mexico border.to come to the Texas-Mexico border, Texas' GOP governor has dropped off a busload of migrants at a Port Authority bus terminal in the Big Apple.The migrants' arrival in New York appears to be the latest warm squirt in a pissing match between Abbott and Adams, a high profile Democrat. It also comes a week after Washington, D.C.
Abbott has publicly bragged about busing more than 6,000 migrants to D.C. to show his disdain for President Joe Biden's border policies. Critics on both the left and right have called Abbott's initiative an election-year publicity stunt. "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 the Monday press release announcing the bus' arrival."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.
Officials in Abbott's office were unavailable at press time to answer questions about his decision to begin sending migrants to NYC.
