Nine more busloads of immigrants arrived to New York City this weekend from Texas alone. Fox News described that most of the passengers, adult men, with some women and children, claim they are seeking asylum and that the border is "100% open."
Last week, Adams noted that with the influx of so many people the city’s shelter system "is on the verge of breaking down" and that past practices in the Big Apple should be “reevaluated.”
The surge of asylum seekers has been unprecedented. We have provided services to more than 11,000 people.
But our system is nearing its breaking point. We are assessing our prior practices and remain committed to this vital work.

Abbott Will Continue to Send Illegal Immigrants
The Texas government has bused more than 2,500 immigrants to New York City since August 5. Texas has also sent more than 8,000 illegals to Washington. DC. and Chicago since the end of August.
Last week, two busloads of immigrants arrived at Kamala Harris' Washington D.C. residence. Between 75 and 100 people departed from Del Rio, Texas, and showed up at the vice president's home at around 7 a.m.
Governor Greg Abbott stated that "until the Biden-Harris Administration stops denying the border crisis they have created, Texas will continue to bring the border to their doorstep."
