   Washington, D.C., and New York City can handle a few busloads of   
   migrants if small border towns could endure hundreds – or thousands –   
   of migrants every day, the mayor of McAllen, Texas, told Fox News.   
      
   New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Washington, D.C, Mayor Muriel Bowser   
   criticized Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for busing hundreds of migrants from   
   his state's border to their northern cities.    
      
   Adams called Abbott's busing program "inhumane," while Bowser likened   
   the arrival of migrants to a "humanitarian crisis."   
      
   "You see New York, you see Washington kind of drowning with a few   
   buses," McAllen Mayor Javier Villalobos told Fox News. "We used to get   
   over a thousand-something people a day."    
      
   "The city of McAllen was able to deal with thousands of immigrants a   
   day," Villalobos said. "I think they can handle a few hundred."

   Trump had the border stabilized with his remain in Mexico policy.  He   
   knew it wasn't right for people to pass through several countries to   
   seek asylum in the US.   
      
   The first thing Biden did when he took office was to repeal the remain   
   in Mexico policy, and created a humanitarian crisis like this country   
   has never seen.  It has been going on for two and a half years with no   
   end in sight.   
      
   You have to ask yourself why he did it.
