N.Y. Mayor Requests Federal Help for Migrants Bused in From Texas
August 8, 2022 | New York
New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday asked for help from the federal government to help deal with migrants sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, The Hill reported.
As a protest to the record number of border encounters under the administration of President Joe Biden, Abbott said on Friday that he is busing migrants to New York City, declaring that the Big Apple is an ideal location, because they can “receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city.” Migrants are also being bused to Washington, D.C.
Adams tweeted, “@GregAbbott_TX used innocent people as political pawns to manufacture a crisis. New Yorkers are stepping up to fix it — that’s our city’s values. But we need the federal government’s help — money, technical assistance and more.”..(Excerpt from Newsmax)
