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

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

Well, apparently not โ€œALWAYS.โ€ 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 โ€” calling โ€œhorrificโ€ the decision by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to send about 800 people who had illegally crossed the border and complaining that even before Abbottโ€™s buses arrived New York was already โ€œoverburdenedโ€ by an โ€œunprecedented surgeโ€ of asylum seekers.

Give me a break.ย Accordingย 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, theย Del Rio sectorย โ€” a 47-county region โ€” 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 theย Del Rio sectorย since fiscal 2022 began on Oct. 1 โ€” double the number from the same period a year before. To put those numbers in perspective, consider: Eagle Pass has a population of aboutย 29,000 people. Yet Adams is complaining that Texas is sending 800 migrants to New York โ€” a city of more than 8 million people?

Adams didnโ€™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, Adamsย calledย it โ€œirresponsible,โ€ โ€œun-Americanโ€ and โ€œinhumane.โ€
