More buses of migrants sent from Texas arrive in New York City

NEW YORK – Three more buses of asylum seekers arrive in New York City from Texas Wednesday morning, under the order of Gov. Greg Abbott. 

New York City’s Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs and advocates greeterd them at the Port Authority Bust Terminal. 

The commissioner says about 100 people were expected Wednesday. 

The city is working with 11 hotels to help provide shelter and is prepared to add capacity as needed. 

He say New York City will contune to welcome immigrants and continued to call for support from the federal government. 

A similar scene played out over the weekend at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. 

Officials say more than 4,000 people are now seeking asylum in New York City. We’re told they have very little resources, and the need is putting a strain on the city’s shelter system. 

During a City Council hearing Tuesday, officials said the feds need to do more to help. 

Mayor Eric Adams has another plan. 

“I am deeply contemplating taking a busload of New Yorkers to Texas and do some good old fashioned door knocking, because we have to, for the good of America, we have to get him out of office.”

All this comes as Abbott is in a tight race with Democrat Beto O’Rourke.
