@NYCMayor Less than 2 years later, now-Mayor Adams is suggesting that the influx of #IllegalAliens will "destroy New York City."
Texas Gov. @GregAbbott_TX began busing #IllegalAliens to several large US cities, known as "sanctuary cities," in April 2022 to alleviate the burden on border cities in his state. Although only a fraction of the illegal immigrants arriving in New York City are arriving on Abbott's buses, Mayor Adams has called the program "morally bankrupt."
A jurisdiction is dubbed a sanctuary because it has enacted policies that shield #IllegalAliens, including criminals, from federal immigration authorities and deportation. The cities Gov. @GregAbbott_TX chose as his busing program recipients are among the 10 "largest sanctuary cities in the United States," according to @FAIRImmigration.
As of Sept. 8, Gov. @GregAbbott_TX's office reported it had bused: - more than 11,300 #IllegalAliens to Washington since April 2022; - more than 13,500 to New York City since August 2022; - more than 7,000 to Chicago since August 2022; - more than 2,600 to Philadelphia since November 2022. This year, Texas started busing illegal immigrants to Denver and Los Angeles. Denver has received about 1,100, and Los Angeles around 480.
