Texas Governor Greg Abbott defended his controversial decision to bus migrants to “sanctuary cities” despite criticism from New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who accused Abbott of endangering lives and playing political games.
In response, Abbott shifted the blame to President Joe Biden, accusing him of using illegal immigrants as political pawns to appease the far left of the Democratic Party.

Abbott argued that Biden’s open border policy has allowed illegal immigrants to enter the country unchecked, leading to a situation where the nation is being invaded and its security compromised.
He claimed that Biden’s actions were motivated by a desire to win support from progressive Democrats like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez while disregarding the safety and well-being of Americans.

In particular, Abbott criticized Mayor Adams for his stance on the issue, accusing him of “aiding and abetting” migrants and putting the lives of New Yorkers at risk. He urged Adams to prioritize the safety of his constituents over political considerations.
Abbott’s defense underscores the ongoing debate over immigration policy and the role of local and state governments in addressing the challenges of illegal immigration. It also highlights the political tensions between Republican-led states like Texas and Democratic-led cities like New York, where approaches to immigration policy often diverge sharply.
