"What is new now, is the systematic diversion of asylum seekers and immigrants to New York City by external forces, including by the disgusting, cruel and cowardly actions of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott," Immigration Commissioner Manuel Castro told the city council on Tuesday.Adrienne Adams, chair of the Committee on General Welfare, said there needs to be more transparency and accountability to better serve incoming migrants.
"Our goal is to immediately find out each family's needs and give them the assistance they want,” Mayor Adams said at a press conference on Tuesday. Abbott said New York is the "ideal destination" for the migrants, as they can find the "abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city."
MORE: 73 migrants -- including 13 kids -- found in D.C. 'stash houses,' official says; smuggling suspected "They're not letting us know what are the needs of the people on the bus. They're not giving us any information, so we're unable to really provide service to the people en route," Mayor Adams told ABC affiliate WABC.
I’m no fan of Greg Abbott, but then again, it’s easy to be a “Sanctuary City” when you’re far away from the flood at our southern border. Time for NYC, DC and others to start putting their $$$ where their liberal morality is. 👍
Anyone coming through the borders per the invitation by Biden should be able to live anywhere in the US.
ABBOT FAILED AGAIN
If trump didn’t steal classified documents he wouldn’t be in this trouble
asylum seekers, don’t you mean illegal aliens?
If it is ok for Texas receive immigrants,why not NY?
The only way to understand the border crisis is to become a border town.
You mean it's tough running a city being flooded by immigrants? No way right? That's why you wanted them int he country so bad, but now that you have to actually deal with them you are complaining. Lol Hypocrites
Send all the illegal immigrants to NY
Secure the boarder
Oh they don’t like the illegals when they become their problem lol I love it.. A very democrat move
Democrats hide behind a fake facade of Compassion and Empathy, that heart is really depraved. So much for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion from Democrats.
They s/b embracing them. They’re a sanctuary city, aren’t they?
The number one fan of immigrants and sanctuary cities now has a problem with immigrants in his sanctuary city. Hmmmm
Maybe close the border?
You can’t be calling Texas leaders racist for not wanting immigrants and when he send those immigrants to your state, you complain. You should open your arms and celebrate their arrival to prove you are tolerant to immigrants.
Suck it up NY.
Go to court and get a TRO. Why are you letting Abbott get away with this NYCMayor?
