You think you have problems?
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser have been incredibly vocal about the strains that illegal immigrants are putting on their cities’ resources; Bowser even requested the assistance of the National Guard to help with the influx in the nation’s capital.
Adams has called Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey “cowards” for busing programs that transported migrants to northern states.
Now, Abbott is inviting the blue-city mayors to come down to the border to witness the devastation firsthand.
Abbott wrote a formal letter to Adams and Bowser. Excerpts below.
“This crisis was created by President Biden and is one that requires immediate and decisive action to be stopped,” Abbott charged in a letter to Adams and Bowser. “As Governor of a southern border state, I have watched illegal crossings hit record highs over and over again since President Biden took office.”
“Unfortunately, President Biden and his ‘Border Czar’ Vice President Harris have refused to see this crisis for themselves—remaining willfully ignorant of the crisis that they have created,” Abbott continued. “In fact, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas recently testified that the border is ‘safe and secure.’ It is neither safe nor secure, as you can both attest to.”
Then he offered, “As Governor, I invite you to visit our border region to see firsthand the dire situation that only grows more urgent with each passing day, and to meet with the local officials, who like yourselves, realize this matter deserves immediate federal action.”
“We agree that this crisis demands immediate federal action to prevent the flood of deadly fentanyl, now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 45, the unimaginable horrors caused by human smuggling and trafficking, the known terrorists from entering our country, and the countless other crimes that have been committed by the hundreds of thousands of ‘gotaways’ that the Biden Administration has let slip through,” Abbott declared in his letter to the mayors, concluding, “I look forward to welcoming you the Texas-Mexico border so that you can see this crisis for yourself.”
Abbott has bused more than 5,000 migrants to Washington D.C. since April.
Abbott shared the news story on Twitter.
“I invited Mayor Bowser & Mayor Adams to the Texas border to see the consequences of the border crisis firsthand. Texas will continue busing migrants to Biden’s backyard until he steps up to do his job.”
