New York City Mayor Eric Adams has threatened legal action against the state of Texas for sending busloads of immigrants to his city Sunday.
Adams made a variety of television appearances to discuss the issue he claims has brought city homeless shelters to a"breaking point" — with 11,000 immigrants arriving there since May. Out of that total, roughly 2,5000 were sent from the Texas border by Gov. Greg Abbott.
Adams personally slammed Abbott for promising to coordinate these immigrants' transportation in the future, but not following through despite his office calling the governor's office. Adams gave a soft suggestion to change the federal regulation on immigrants seeking employment, as current immigrants must wait six months before they can begin working legally.
Yet the Democratic mayor was hesitant to criticize President Joe Biden over the ongoing border crisis.
