   There have been more than 200,000 migrant encounters at the   
   border each month for the last four months.   
      
   The mayors of Washington D.C. and New York City have fumed at   
   the number of migrants being bused to their cities by the   
   governors of Texas and Arizona — but the numbers are just a   
   fraction of the enormous numbers hitting the southern border   
   each month.   
      
   Both D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams   
   have excoriated border states for busing migrants to their   
   cities, and have called for federal aid to what Bowser has   
   described as a humanitarian crisis.   
      
   "We are focused, and we continue to be very focused on having   
   the federal government do its part and take the lead in what we   
   see as a growing humanitarian crisis with people who are seeking   
   asylum coming across the country to get to their final   
   destinations," Bowser said earlier this month.   
      
   She has also requested the National Guard be deployed on   
   multiple occasions, a request that has so far been shot down by   
   the Pentagon. The city’s attorney general on Thursday unveiled a   
   grant program to fund overwhelmed non-profits.   
      
   Meanwhile, in New York City, Mayor Eric Adams has appealed for   
   help from the federal government, while diving into a war of   
   words with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for busing thousands of   
   migrants to Port Authority.   
      
   "We just need help. We need help," Adams said in a press   
   conference earlier this week. "And we're going to have some   
   specific items that we're going to go over with the president.   
   But we want assistance. We believe FEMA should step in."   
      
   "The federal government and the state should assist in this as   
   well because it's more than housing… housing, education, food,   
   translation, services, health care, all of these issues," Asams   
   said.   
      
   On Thursday he took aim again at Abbott: "He is an anti-American   
   governor that is really going against everything we stand for.   
   And I am going to do everything feasible to make sure the people   
   of Texas realize how harmful he is to us globally."   
      
   However, the numbers that the cities are facing pale in   
   comparison to those hitting the border each day. Adams said this   
   week that more than 4,000 migrants have come into the city’s   
   asylum system in recent months.   
      
   Meanwhile, Abbott has said the state has sent approximately   
   6,000 migrants to Washington D.C., and only started busing   
   migrants to New York City last week. Arizona has denied sending   
   migrants to New York City, and Gov. Doug Ducey’s office has   
   reportedly said that it has sent more than 1,000 migrants to D.C.   
      
   While those numbers do not include the numbers of migrants who   
   make their way to the cities on their own, or who are helped to   
   get there by non-profits at the border who assist migrants with   
   travel, the numbers being bused are just a small fraction of   
   what is being faced at the border.   
      
   Migrants flood across border in Normandy, TexasVideo   
   Since March, there have been more than 200,000 migrant   
   encounters at the border a month, and there haven’t been fewer   
   than 150,000 migrant encounters in any month since February   
   2021. While some of those are returned under Title 42 public   
   health protections, many are released into the United States in   
   places like Arizona and Texas.   
      
   On Saturday, one single group crossing into the U.S. at Eagle   
   Pass, Texas, had approximately 150 illegal migrants. Earlier in   
   the week, Fox News saw multiple groups of hundreds of migrants   
   crossing into the U.S. at that one crossing point alone.   
      
   A source told Fox News that the Del Rio Sector has seen nearly   
   2,000 illegal crossings in one 24 hour period -- with only a   
   handful being expelled via the Title 42 public health order.   
   Meanwhile, in Yuma Sector in Arizona there were 669 illegal   
   crossings in a single day.   
      
   Overall there have been more than 1.7 million migrant encounters   
   at the border this fiscal year, exceeding last year’s historic   
   numbers.   
      
   "You see New York, you see Washington kind of drowning with a   
   few buses," McAllen Mayor Javier Villalobos told Fox News. "We
