“Owning” someone was really more of a 2000’s kind of thing, but, this is the definition of owning someone

Abbott visited New York City. He didn’t take pity on its migrant surge.

Everything’s bigger in Texas — including the humanitarian crisis of helping migrants.

That was the message from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott as he spoke Wednesday in Manhattan, where leaders have blasted his continued efforts to ship migrants from the southern border to blue states, particularly the biggest of them all: New York City.

Abbott both defended his program bussing migrants from the border to sanctuary cities like New York and trivialized Mayor Eric Adams’ complaints about the strain it has put on the city’s resources.

“What’s going on in New York right now might not be the common circumstance or what you were looking for,” Abbott said at a breakfast hosted by the Manhattan Institute, a conservative think tank. “But what is going on in New York is calm and organized compared to the real chaos of what we see on the border — not every day, but every hour of every day.”

Of course, SCNY Mayor Eric Adams got a little snippy

“New Yorkers deserve better than being trapped between a vicious game of political hot potato,” a spokesperson for Adams said. “When thousands of asylum-seekers arrived at Governor Abbott’s doorstep in pursuit of the American Dream, he chose to use them as political pawns.”

In other words, “stop making us actually be a sanctuary city. This is supposed to happen Somewhere Else”

In fact, Abbott never directly attacked Adams during the nearly one-hour program, and he was eager at times to note their points of agreement — something that Republicans have done regularly with Adams, who has sparred with the White House over the issue.

“This is something that’s unsustainable. I think those are the words of your mayor. Those are the words of the mayor of Chicago and LA. Those are the words of the governor of Texas,” he said.

Abbott went on to say that the lead importer of illegals/migrants to New York and SCNY is Joe Biden, not Texas. Of course, Let’s Go Brandon wants Congress to change the laws. Sadly, the GOP doesn’t have the cajones to simply crack down. End Asylum claims, immediately deport anyone caught crossing the border. Go back to the times in the past when the US allowed lots of migrants then shut immigration off for a few decades to allow people to assimilate. But, still, deport anyone caught in this nation illegally. Require all here to learn English, take US civics, become a part of the US. If they are just here for free stuff and not because they love the US, boot them.
