New York Mayor Eric Adams didn’t just get owned by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, he was shown where he needed to direct his misplaced frustrations. Adams slammed Abbott for flooding his state with illegals and called him a coward for not asking for help. Abbott has been a huge voice shouting for help from Biden but has gotten nothing.
The altercation came after Abbott shipped illegals in busses to Washington D.C. Abbott reminded the Mayor that he sent them to Biden and that it was Biden who flew them to New York and other cities.
“Mayor Adams’ problem is not with Texas. It is with President Biden’s refusal to stop this border crisis and secure our southern border,” Abbott wrote.
“President Biden’s open border policies created this ongoing humanitarian crisis, allowing record-high illegal crossings and deadly drugs like fentanyl to flood into our state. A crisis that has overrun and overwhelmed our border towns and communities across our state, whose requests for help have gone ignored and unanswered by the Biden Administration,” he added.
“I launched our border busing mission back in April to help our local partners, busing over 5,500 migrants to Washington, D.C. so far. Texas has not bused any migrants to New York,” Abbott noted. “Instead, it is President Biden who has flown planeloads of migrants to New York. Mayor Adams should address his frustration with migrants to the root cause: Joe Biden.”

Adams attacked both Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey because the exhausted Republicans initiated the program that relocates illegals to D.C.
“Our country is home of the free, land of the brave,” Adams said, according to the New York Post. “We do not become cowards and send people away who are looking for help.”
During the conference, Adams complained about the strain the illegals have out in New York:
“We already have an overburdened shelter system. So now we’re talking about, as you stated, food, clothing, schools,” Adams said. “This is going to impact our schools because we do not turn away individuals because they’re undocumented, need translation services. There’s just a whole host of things that this is going to produce. And that’s why we need help in getting this done and we need to write coordination to make it happen.”

I understand the mayor’s frustration but he’s defiantly misguided here. Biden needs to secure the borders. How much do you want to bet that New York will receive aid before any of the southern border states?
