   As New York City and Washington D.C. feud with the governors of   
   Texas and Arizona over the border states’ busing of migrants to   
   their cities, their own sanctuary city policies are the subject   
   of a reignited debate -- as the Republican governors cite the   
   liberal policies as justification for the buses.   
      
   Thousands of migrants have been sent from Texas and Arizona to   
   the two Democratic-run cities, both of which have repeatedly   
   proclaimed and reaffirmed their commitment to protecting illegal   
   immigrants from deportation and making their states welcoming   
   havens.   
      
   "Sanctuary" jurisdictions refer to cities or states that   
   restrict local law enforcement from cooperating with federal   
   immigration agencies. Such cities and states will often also   
   move to abolish any distinction between legal and illegal   
   immigration.   
      
   After the 2016 election, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser reaffirmed the   
   city’s status, saying "we celebrate our diversity and respect   
   all DC residents no matter their immigration status."   
      
   Adams said in 2019: "To anyone in the world fleeing hatred and   
   oppression, the ultimate city of immigrants wants you to   
   remember: you’re ALWAYS welcome here."   
      
   "‘We should protect our immigrants.’ Period," he tweeted in 2021   
   when campaigning. "Yes, New York City will remain a sanctuary   
   city under an Adams administration."   
      
      
   But Texas and Arizona began sending buses of migrants to   
   Washington D.C. this Spring, and Texas has recently started   
   sending buses to New York City as well. A waiver form given to   
   migrants says 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."   
      
   While the numbers being sent, just over 10,000 so far, are   
   dwarfed by those encountered at the border, which number around   
   200,000 each month, the mayors have slammed the moves by the   
   border states -- while calling for federal aid.   
      
   Bowser has repeatedly called for the deployment of the National   
   Guard, while describing the migrant influx as a "humanitarian   
   crisis."   
      
   "The number of people crossing the border seeking asylum, we   
   expect only to go up, and we need to make sure there is a   
   national response," Bowser said.   
      
   Adams has also called for federal help: "We just need help. We   
   need help," he said earlier this month, while also taking aim 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," he said of Abbott.   
      
   But border officials have noted the sanctuary city status, with   
   officials in Texas citing it -- along with other border policies   
   -- to justify sending the migrants to the places where they are   
   more welcome.

   "It's just interesting to see some of these mayors who have   
   invited and have created sanctuary cities to suddenly start   
   complaining that they've got a few thousand immigrants when   
   we're dealing with millions," Attorney General Ken Paxton said   
   on "Fox and Friends."   
      
   "New York is a sanctuary city. Mayor Adams said they welcome in   
   illegal immigrants, but now that they have to deal with the   
   reality of it they’re suddenly flummoxed and cannot handle it,"   
   Abbott said in an interview with "The Faulkner Focus."   
      
   Neither the D.C. or New York City mayors’ offices responded to   
   requests for comments from Fox News Digital about whether they   
   are reconsidering their sanctuary policies given the migrant   
   surge. But Adams in particular has touted what he sees as a more   
   welcoming response from the City.   
      
   "Unlike the governor of Texas, who did what I believe is anti-   
   American. I did the opposite and those asylum seekers were happy   
   to hear that the mayor of the City of New York was standing   
   there and stating, 'We're going to treat you with dignity.'" he   
   said last week.
