Gov. #GregAbbott announced Friday that Texas is now busing migrants from the #Mexican border to #NewYorkCity, the state’s latest confrontation with an East Coast city over the influx at the border. Abbott’s office said the first bus to #NewYork City would arrive Friday morning at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. It comes months after Texas began offering migrants bus rides to Washington, D.C., where the mayor, Muriel Bowser, has said the city is now being overwhelmed. The New York City mayor, Eric Adams, has also expressed alarm, leading Abbott to invite Bowser and Adams to tour the border Monday. Adams’ office dismissed the invitation. “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 #EricAdams has boasted about within the sanctuary city,” Abbott said in a news release. “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.” Adams' spokesperson, Fabien Levy, shot back on Twitter, saying Abbott's "continued use of human beings as political pawns is disgusting."
