  • Classic. no one cares about problems until those problems show up in their back yard
  • @iowaguy217
    240,000 migrants per month entering the US, NYC and DC can’t handle a few thousand?
  • @rrace002
    Send them to the white house. Biden invited them.
  • @cici7904
    TX and Az have been dealing with this problem for years now. Keep those buses rolling in so those who wanted open borders can deal with the consequences of their decisions!
  • @ryandarko2115
    Eric adams says this is horrific ? No what’s horrific is that he’s going to give them more money and benefits than tax payers in nyc
  • @HeyTexasItsMe
    Until laws are in place, every state should be prepared for thousands of “asylum seekers” not just Texas and the border states. Maybe now the rest of the country will listen and help come up with ideas.
  • @leonv7716
    mayor Adams has long supported Biden's open border policy. I think this is the only way Abbott can REALLY make Adams understand the severity of the situation. if Adam's supports allowing undocumented immigrants live on Texas border towns, he surely would have supported bus loads of these people coming to live in New York, right?
  • @ericeandco
    Set them up on congresses front lawn in tents. A couple of hundred thousand a month that they admit to. You’ll need to also send them to their multiple homes.
  • @joshyt8247
    Close the border and help Americans first !!!!!!
  • @rodochrous
    Sanctuary cities having to actually be a Sanctuary - it's what they asked for.
  • NY officials are saying they didn't have time to prepare for these buses arriving. Surely that's what border towns have been experiencing daily for years now. It's very hypocritical
  • @AA-kj4ic
    Does Mexico communicate how many will cross the border daily or weekly so Texas and Arizona can prepare? New York is barely dealing with 4000 people which Texas has to deal with in half a day.
  • Now hiring. $6 an hour all illegal immigrants welcome no green card necessary. Welcome to America
  • " lack of notice" !!!! WHAT???.. how about Texas's lack of notice from the cartels...that doesn't count..
  • @angelisa368
    Why aren’t they being sent back to where they came from?
  • If Abbott runs out of buses, Amtrak has lots of room. Load them up to DC and NYC!!
  • @meghan42
    The States are not so United after all.
  • @Marcantin92
    COUNTRIES NEED TO FIX THEIR COUNTRIES!! PERIOD!! WE ARE NOT THE WORLD"S DUMPING GROUND!! WE HAVE PEOPLE HERE BORN AND RAISED HERE SUFFERING. WHERES THE HELP FOR THEM??
