In Texas, Abbott Is Playing Hardball on Illegal Border Crossings. Good.

5Mind. The Meme Platform

In 2019, as he prepared to launch his campaign for mayor of New York, Eric Adams slammed President Donald Trump’s policies at the southern border,Ā tweetingĀ that ā€œNew York City will ALWAYS stand up toā€ Trump and promising: ā€œTo anyone in the world fleeing hatred and oppression, the ultimate city of immigrants wants you to remember: you’re ALWAYS welcome here.ā€

Well, apparently not ā€œALWAYS.ā€ Now that the Texas Division of Emergency Management has begun transporting to New York City asylum seekers and illegal migrants released from federal custody, Adams is crying foul — calling ā€œhorrificā€ the decision by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to send about 800 people who had illegally crossed the border and complaining that even before Abbott’s buses arrived New York was already ā€œoverburdenedā€ by an ā€œunprecedented surgeā€ of asylum seekers.

Give me a break.Ā AccordingĀ to Bill Melugin, the Fox News reporter who has been on the ground in Eagle Pass, Texas, covering the border crisis for more than a year, theĀ Del Rio sector — a 47-county region — reported 2,200 migrants had arrived illegally in a single 24-hour period this week. In all, Melugin tells me, there have been 401,449 illegal crossings in theĀ Del Rio sectorĀ since fiscal 2022 began on Oct. 1 — double the number from the same period a year before. To put those numbers in perspective, consider: Eagle Pass has a population of aboutĀ 29,000 people. Yet Adams is complaining that Texas is sending 800 migrants to New York — a city of more than 8 million people?

Adams didn’t protest in October when the Biden administration sent planeloads of migrants, some of them underage, from Texas to the New York area. But when Abbott sent a charter bus to New York City this month carrying 54 migrants, AdamsĀ calledĀ it ā€œirresponsible,ā€ ā€œun-Americanā€ and ā€œinhumane.ā€
