During a recent episode of Meet The Press, host Chuck Todd conceded that Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s busing strategy worked —the federal government is being forced to take notice.
According to Fox News, “During a preview of an upcoming segment on Meet the Press, Todd discussed New York City’s ‘growing humanitarian crisis’ as officials grapple with an influx of migrants overwhelming city shelters and draining its resources. As Todd spoke, images of migrants camped out on New York City streets appeared on screen beside a frustrated Mayor Eric Adams.”
“Coming up, New York City’s growing humanitarian crisis. The shelter system, slammed by an influx of migrants. New calls for federal help. I guess Greg Abbott was right,” Todd told viewers. “He said once he got blue cities to deal with this, that they would be very upset at the federal government.”
