Mayor Muriel Bowser. Adams recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/mayor-adams-influx-of-illegal-aliens-a-real-burden-on-new-yorkers\/\">complained<\/a> that the burgeoning number of illegal immigrants in his city comprised a \u201creal burden\u201d on his city; Bowser has been complaining for weeks that the number of immigrants arriving in buses sent by Abbott and Arizona GOP Governor Doug Ducey \u201chave reached tipping points.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis crisis was created by President Biden and is one that requires immediate and decisive action to be stopped,\u201d Abbott charged in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gov.texas.gov\/uploads\/files\/press\/O-MayorAdams_MayorBowser202208012153.pdf\">letter<\/a>\u00a0to Adams and Bowser. \u201cAs Governor of a southern border state, I have watched illegal crossings hit record highs over and over again since President Biden took office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, President Biden and his \u2018Border Czar\u2019 Vice President Harris have refused to see this crisis for themselves\u2014remaining willfully ignorant of the crisis that they have created,\u201d Abboitt continued. \u201cIn fact, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas recently testified that the border is \u2018safe and secure.\u2019 It is neither safe nor secure, as you can both attest to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then he offered, \u201cAs Governor, I invite you to visit our border region to see firsthand the dire situation that only grows more urgent with each passing day, and to meet with the local officials, who like yourselves, realize this matter deserves immediate federal action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe agree that this crisis demands immediate federal action to prevent the flood of deadly fentanyl, now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45, the unimaginable horrors caused by human smuggling and trafficking, the known terrorists from entering our country, and the countless other crimes that have been committed by the hundreds of thousands of \u2018gotaways\u2019 that the Biden Administration has let slip through,\u201d Abbott declared in his letter to the mayors, concluding, \u201cI look forward to welcoming you the Texas-Mexico border so that you can see this crisis for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adams had said that public services in New York were becoming \u201coverburdened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a real burden on New Yorkers as we\u2019re trying to do the right thing. We already have an overburdened shelter system. So now we\u2019re talking about food, clothing, school. This is going to impact our schools because we do not turn away individuals because they are undocumented,\u201d he stated of the soaring number of illegal immigrants in his city.<\/p>\n<p>On June 22, Abbott fired back at Adams after Adams had intimated that Abbott and Ducey were \u201ccowards\u201d for sending buses full of illegal immigrants to Washington D.C. \u201cOur country is home of the free, land of the brave,\u201d Adams <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/07\/21\/eric-adams-govs-abbott-ducey-cowards-for-sending-migrants-to-dc\/\">said<\/a>. \u201cWe do not become cowards and send people away who are looking for help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abbott replied, \u201cMayor Adams\u2019 problem is not with Texas. It is with President Biden\u2019s refusal to stop this border crisis and secure our southern border.\u201d<\/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.
