A crisis that has overrun and overwhelmed our border towns and communities across our state, whose requests for help have gone ignored and unanswered by the Biden Administration,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mayor Adams should address his frustration w\/ migrants to the root cause: Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p>I launched our border busing mission in April to help our local communities.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has flown planeloads of migrants to NY.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is not Texas.

Instead, the Biden administration has authorized flights of migrants to Adams\u2019 state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI launched our border busing mission back in April to help our local partners, busing over 5,500 migrants to Washington, D.C. so far. Texas has not bused any migrants to New York,\u201d Abbott noted. \u201cInstead, it is President Biden who has flown planeloads of migrants to New York. Mayor Adams should address his frustration with migrants to the root cause: Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams attacked both Abbott and Governor Doug Ducey (R-AZ) over their migrant busing programs during a news conference from City Hall on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur country is home of the free, land of the brave,\u201d Adams said, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/21\/eric-adams-govs-abbott-ducey-cowards-for-sending-migrants-to-dc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to<\/a> the New York Post.\u00a0\u201cWe do not become cowards and send people away who are looking for help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams also claimed the mass influx of migrants coming to New York is putting a strain on the city he leads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe already have an overburdened shelter system. So now we\u2019re talking about, as you stated, food, clothing, schools,\u201d Adams said. \u201cThis is going to impact our schools because we do not turn away individuals because they\u2019re undocumented, need translation services. There\u2019s just a whole host of things that this is going to produce. And that\u2019s why we need help in getting this done and we need to write coordination to make it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New York City Mayor Eric Adams: Influx of illegal aliens is \u201ca real burden\u201d on NYC resources. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5hc7x5YzQr\">pic.twitter.com\/5hc7x5YzQr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ArthurSchwartz\/status\/1549834244951769090?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Adams was not alone in blaming Abbott for the surge in migrants. Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) appeared on CBS\u2019 \u201cFace the Nation\u201d earlier this month to suggest the capital\u2019s homeless shelters were filling up due to migrants bused from Texas and Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have for sure called on the federal government to work across state lines to prevent people from really being tricked into getting on buses. We think they\u2019re largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C.,\u201d Bowser <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/muriel-bowser-transcript-face-the-nation-07-17-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worked with the White House to make sure that FEMA provided a grant to a local organization that is providing services to folks. But, I fear that they\u2019re being tricked into nationwide bus trips when their final destinations are places all over the United States of America,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) blasted New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) for appearing to suggest the governor is a coward for sending migrants by bus to Washington, D.C.
