First Texas bus of 50 mostly male illegal migrants arrives in NYC: Gov. Abbott says Big Apple is the 'ideal destination' and challenges liberal Mayor Adams to welcome them - as arrivals say city has 'best opportunities' in nation

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Group of roughly 50 migrants was dropped off at Port Authority Bus Terminal

New York City now joins Washington D.C. as a drop-off location for migrants

Texas Governor Greg Abbott said New York is an 'ideal' destination for migrants

They 'can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about' Abbott added

Last week, Mayor Adams declared a city emergency because of the influx

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has called in the National Guard to assist

The Biden administration has accused Republican states of using migrants as 'political ploy'

#1 ...Interestingly, DOD has told DC rather bluntly that they were not getting any help from the Guard:

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rejected the request because the Department of Defense has "determined providing this support would negatively impact the readiness of the DCNG and have negative effects on the organization and members," the official said.

However, as Billy Mays used to say, "But wait, there's MORE!!!" :

The official said grant funding through FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program is sufficient. "We understand SAMU First Response has received grant funding through FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter Program and has indicated that sufficient EFSP funds exist at this point to provide migrant assistance."

That's about as direct a slap as you're gonna get without direct physical contact.

Mayor Bowser's response was, "Bowser told reporters on Friday that she wants to continue to work with the Pentagon to ensure political considerations "are not a part of their decision."

If Muriel Bowser is accusing the Biden Administration of 'political considerations' on this subject, it's possible that the Blue on Blue warfare is just getting started.

PS - And it's interesting that Her Honor's response to this - instead of calling on the residents of some of America's richest zip codes to meet their rhetoric and step up and help - is to call for guys with guns who come under her direct control.

Funny, that.

#6 50 total is a state of emergency in NY but it’s just a fraction of the daily crossings at any of the Texas entry points?
