At the New York Republican Party’s annual gala, Texas Governor Greg Abbott addressed the ongoing migrant crisis, stating that Texas will continue bussing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities “until we get a new president.” Abbott’s remarks came in response to criticism from New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who had offered the governor a free stay at a migrant shelter in the city.
Abbott explained that he initiated the bussing of migrants to sanctuary cities after local officials in Texas expressed concerns about the influx of migrants in their communities. Initially planning to send migrants to Washington, D.C., Abbott redirected them to New York City after criticism from Mayor Adams.
Despite clarifications that Texas was not responsible for sending migrants to New York, Abbott decided to follow through on the rhetoric and began bussing migrants to the city. He emphasized that the situation will persist until there is a change in presidential leadership to address border security effectively.
Abbott criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis, blaming policy decisions for the chaos and dangerous situation in Texas. He praised former President Donald Trump’s actions to curb illegal immigration, contrasting them with Biden’s policies.Other prominent Republicans, including House GOP Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik and Republican National Committee Chair Michael Whatley, echoed Abbott’s concerns at the event. They emphasized the need to secure the border and criticized Biden for failing to address the issue effectively.
Mayor Adams, prior to Abbott’s arrival, criticized the governor’s approach to the migrant crisis and offered him a stay at a migrant shelter to witness the city’s response firsthand. Adams emphasized the importance of coordination in managing the crisis and expressed disappointment in Abbott’s decision to bus migrants to local municipalities
