   New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday called Texas Gov.   
   Greg Abbott an "anti-American governor" -- as the liberal mayor   
   continued to fume over the busing of illegal immigrants into his   
   city.   
      
   Adams and Abbott have traded barbs over the busing of migrants   
   into New York City. Abbott’s office started sending migrants to   
   Washington D.C. in the Spring and recently started sending buses   
   to New York City as well.   
      
   It has provoked a furious response from the mayors of those   
   cities, who have called for both help from the federal   
   government and for the busing of migrants to stop. Adams on   
   Tuesday said that he is considering sending a bus load of New   
   Yorkers to Texas to campaign in the upcoming gubernatorial   
   election.   
      
   "I already called all of my friends in Texas and told them how   
   to cast their vote, and I am deeply contemplating taking a bus   
   load of New Yorkers to go to Texas and do some good old-   
   fashioned door knocking because, for the good of America, we   
   have to get him out of office," Adams said in a press conference   
   on Tuesday.   
      
   Both Abbott’s campaign, and Abbott himself shot back at Hizzoner.   
      
   "Because of high taxes, out of control crime, and poor   
   leadership by the Mayor, people are volunteering to leave New   
   York City without the Mayor asking," campaign spokesperson Mark   
   Miner told Fox News Digital. "It looks like Mayor Adams has   
   taken on the additional role of political director for   
   [Democratic candidate] Beto O’ Rourke."   
      
   "I kind of feel like Clint Eastwood. Go ahead, make my day,"   
   Abbott responded on "The Faulkner Focus," saying such a move   
   would only help his campaign for re-election.   
      
   Abbott said voters in Texas are "fed up" with the chaos at the   
   border under the Biden administration.   
      
   "And that is exactly why we are sending these illegal immigrants   
   to places like Washington, D.C. and New York City," he said.   
      
   Adams was asked on Wednesday about Abbott’s "make my day"   
   response and took it a step further.   
      
   "Well, first of all, I know he thinks he's Clint Eastwood, but   
   he's not," he said. "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."   
      
   "He's a global embarrassment because this is not what we do as   
   Americans, all of us," he said. "And I'm sure if he goes into   
   his lineage, he came from somewhere and if his ancestors were   
   treated the way he's treated these asylum seekers and migrants,   
   then he would not be where he is right now."   
      
   Abbott’s office has stressed that migrants get on the buses   
   voluntarily and provided Fox News with a voluntary consent   
   waiver form, distributed in multiple languages.   
      
   That form says that the migrant "agree[s] to be transported by   
   the State of Texas or its designated agency officials to   
   locations outside of Texas, such as Washington, D.C. or New York   
   City, New York."   
      
   It says that Washington D.C. "serves as the capital of the   
   United States and is where members of Congress and the President   
   of the United States are more immediately able to help address   
   the needs of migrants who have entered the country."   
      
   It also states that New York City "has been designated as a   
   sanctuary city by its City Council, and is providing shelter and   
   food to migrants who have entered the country."   
      
   Both Adams and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser have called for the   
   federal government to step up in its assistance to their cities.   
      
   A White House official told Fox News Digital that the White   
   House has "been in regular contact with Mayor Adams and his   
   team, and are committed to working with them as we do   
   effectively with other local leaders through FEMA funding and   
   other support."   
      
   "As we have always said, there is a process in place for   
   managing migration flows, and Republicans governors should stop   
   meddling in that process and using desperate migrants as   
   political tools," the official said.
