New York City Mayor Eric Adams filed a lawsuit against 17 bus companies that transported over 33,000 illegal immigrants from Texas to the city.
Adams tried to sound all tough: “See you in court.”
Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t have declared your city a sanctuary city and promised to welcome everyone.
“New York City has and will always do our part to manage this humanitarian crisis, but we cannot bear the costs of reckless political ploys from the state of Texas alone,” boasted Adams. “Today, we are taking legal action against 17 companies that have taken part in Texas Governor Abbott’s scheme to transport tens of thousands of migrants to New York City in an attempt to overwhelm our social services system. These companies have violated state law by not paying the cost of caring for these migrants, and that’s why we are suing to recoup approximately $700 million already spent to care for migrants sent here in the last two years by Texas. Governor Abbott’s continued use of migrants as political pawns is not only chaotic and inhumane but makes clear he puts politics over people. Today’s lawsuit should serve as a warning to all those who break the law in this way.”
What NYC has seen is nothing compared to what Texas sees on a daily basis.
Yes, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is the bad guy.
Abbott said Adams has no idea (I think he does, but cherry picks to fit his agenda) what the Constitution says or about Supreme Court rulings concerning travel.
“Every migrant bused or flown to New York City did so voluntarily, after having been authorized by the Biden administration to remain in the United States,” responded Abbott. “As such, they have constitutional authority to travel across the country that Mayor Adams is interfering with. If the Mayor persists in this lawsuit, he may be held legally accountable for his violations.”
