New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday that the city is at a "breaking point" due to thousands of migrants who have been
sent by bus from Texas in recent weeks. He said Wednesday:
"In the last few months, we have experienced an unprecedented surge of asylum seekers arriving from the southern border. In this new and unforeseen reality, where we expect thousands more to arrive every week going forward, the city's system is nearing its breaking point. As a result, the city's prior practices, which never contemplated the bussing of thousands of people into New York City, must be reassessed."
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has been bussing migrants to New York City; Washington, D.C.; and Chicago in an effort to offer border towns relief and raise awareness about the crisis.
Since early August, Texas has sent more than 2,200 migrants to New York City, 7,900 migrants to the nation's capital and about 300 migrants to Chicago.
"They all are concerned about a few dozen or a
few hundred migrants coming to their town," Gov. Abbott told Fox News earlier this week. "We get that many per hour in almost every community across the border. So we're dealing with this all the time."
Comment: Sounds like a nice little propaganda outlet. It makes one aware of how much user-generated content which seems to have an agenda aligned with the mainstream narrative may actually be paid for by big money, doing their best to look like it's coming from a commoner. If it's parroting establishment talking points, there's a good chance it's paid for by the establishment.
