See, they weren’t seeking asylum, something that only 10% or less qualify for, in Texas, but, the United States, and unfettered illegal immigration is something that the NY Times and Mayor Adams support and push for.

Seeking Asylum in Texas, Sent to New York to Make a Political Point
The first 3,500 miles of Jose Rodríguez’s journey from Venezuela to here took nearly two months.
The last 2,000 took less than two days, aboard a bus chartered by the state of Texas.
Rodríguez was among about 50 migrants who arrived at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Times Square early Friday amid a raging political battle over immigration.
Since April, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has been shipping newly arrived asylum-seekers to immigrant-friendly Democratic cities on the East Coast to try to pressure the Biden administration into cracking down at the border. Abbott’s press office said the bus that arrived in Manhattan on Friday, which left Eagle Pass on Wednesday afternoon, held “the first group of migrants bused to New York City from Texas.”
The Times is upset that this was done to make a political point. And that NYC suddenly has to deal with a small portion of what Texas border towns have to deal with.
Like Washington, New York is “the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city,” Abbott said in a statement Friday. “I hope he follows through on his promise of welcoming all migrants with open arms so that our overrun and overwhelmed border towns can find relief.”
Just because they’re a sanctuary city doesn’t mean they want to put their money where their mouth’s are.
Adams is having a bit of a hissy fit
(Fox News) Adams gave a news conference Sunday morning at the Port Authority where he greeted an incoming bus of around 40 migrants — only 14 of whom disembarked in the Big Apple.
“This is horrific when you think about what the governor is doing,” Adams said, noting that many of the arriving families did not realize they were coming to New York City.
He should see what’s going on in Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, especially the border towns, how have to deal with all the things that come with unfettered illegal immigration.
“We’re finding that some of the families are on the bus that wanted to go to other locations, and they were not allowed to do so,” the mayor said. “They were forced on the bus with the understanding that they were going to other locations that they wanted to go to, and when they tried to explain they were not allowed to do so.”
They came illegally. They should be put back on the other side of the border, but, because of Democrat rules, it takes forever to go through the asylum hearings, and, even if found not eligible, most do not get deported. And, what of the Biden admin flying them all over the country and dropping them off? Did they want to go to those places? Really, it doesn’t matter where they want to go, they’re here illegally, and will go where they’re sent.
