   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's campaign on Tuesday shot back at New   
   York City Mayor Eric Adams after Hizzoner threatened to send   
   busloads of New Yorkers to Texas to campaign against Abbott in   
   the upcoming gubernatorial election in retaliation for Texas   
   sending busloads of migrants to the Big Apple.   
      
   "I already called all of my friends in Texas and told them how   
   to cast their vote, and I am deeply contemplating taking a   
   busload 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 Tuesday during a   
   press conference.   
      
   Adams' comments marked the latest in a spat between the liberal   
   cities of Washington, D.C., and New York City and the   
   conservative border states of Arizona and Texas. The governors   
   of the states have enraged the liberal mayors by sending   
   thousands of migrants to their cities — which the mayors say   
   have strained their social systems.   
      
   Abbott's campaign responded to Adams' comments later Tuesday.

   ‘HUMANITARIAN CRISIS’ AS MIGRANTS ARRIVE IN DC   
      
   "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."   
      
   That clash came hours before three more buses arrived in New   
   York City on Wednesday morning.   
      
   The movement of migrants into the cities has become a major   
   political issue in recent weeks. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser   
   recently called the situation a humanitarian crisis and   
   requested the deployment of the National Guard — a request   
   denied by the Pentagon. Both mayors have blamed the Republican   
   states, with Adams on Tuesday again attacking Abbott.   
      
   "It's unimaginable coming to a country, your first visit here,   
   someone is throwing you out as the governor of Texas is doing   
   and then trying to navigate this complex country to deliver your   
   services," he said.   
      
   The governors of Arizona and Texas, however, have said that the   
   mayors are experiencing a small slice of the effects of the   
   Biden administration’s border policies, which they blame for the   
   enormous number of migrant encounters at the border each month.   
   There have been more than 200,000 migrant encounters a month   
   over the last four months, with more than 500,000 getaways since   
   the beginning of the fiscal year in October.

   Abbott began busing migrants to D.C. in April in what he said   
   was an effort to bring the migrant crisis to the politicians   
   responsible for it. He has since started sending migrants to New   
   York City as well. Arizona has been sending migrants to D.C. but   
   has said it is not sending them to New York.

   BUS OF MIGRANTS ARRIVES   
      
   "Washington D.C. finally understands what Texans have been   
   dealing with every single day, as our communities are overrun   
   and overwhelmed by thousands of illegal immigrants thanks to   
   President Biden’s open border policies," Abbott’s office said in   
   a statement earlier this month.   
      
   On Friday, he said that New York City "is the ideal destination   
   for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city   
   services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about   
   within the sanctuary city,"   
      
   On Sunday, another bus arrived in New York City, with 40   
   migrants on board — only 14 of whom disembarked in the Big   
   Apple. Abbott has also said he is considering looking at other   
   cities where migrants can be sent.   
      
   Separately, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has mulled sending   
   migrants to President Biden's home state of Delaware.
