For more than a year, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been busing migrants from the southern U.S. border to places like New York, Washington and Chicago. The local authorities have said the influx of homeless, jobless newcomers is unsustainable. Speaking at a conservative think tank in New York Wednesday, the Republican Abbott agreed it was “unsustainable,” but blamed President Joe Biden. Abbott said Biden should enforce laws he said gives the White House authority to “repel” migrants at the border. Last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre again accused Abbott of turning the border crisis “into a political stunt.”
By Abbott's count, Texas has given bus tickets to about 42,000 to start new lives elsewhere — with 15,800 sent to New York City since the spring of 2022. Many thousands more people, though, have gone to the northeast U.S. on their own, or been sent by social service organizations or municipalities.
Abbott said unlike New York, which sometimes has advance notice of bus arrivals, his state gets no such warning. “What is going on in New York is calm and organized compared to the real chaos of what we see on the border,” he said, adding that New York is seeing only a fraction of the multitudes Texas has had to deal with over the years.
Other U.S. cities have also dealt with an influx of migrants trying to escape poverty, violence or oppression in their home nations.
