Texas to Sanctuary Cities: Gear Up, More Migrant Buses on the Way

September 23, 2023 by Bob Price Leave a Comment

The State of Texas is telling mayors of sanctuary cities in other states to “gear up” as “more migrant buses are on the way.” Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered additional buses to transport migrants being released onto the streets of border communities.

“I have directed the Texas Division of Emergency Management to deploy additional buses to send these migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities and provide much-needed relief to our overrun border towns,” Governor Abbott said in a written statement on Friday. “Until President Biden upholds his constitutional duty to secure America’s southern border, Texas will continue to deploy as many buses as needed to relieve the strain caused by the surge of illegal crossings.”

The governor tasked the Texas Division of Emergency Management to increase the number of buses available to move migrants released onto border-town streets to sanctuary cities in other states. So far, these cities include Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles.

TDEM spokesman Seth Christensen told Breitbart Texas on Saturday, “The state of Texas has access to as many buses as necessary to provide relief to our overwhelmed border communities from the massive number of migrants being processed and released by the federal government onto their streets.”

During the first three weeks of September, Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 87,000 migrants who crossed the border into the five Texas-based border sectors. This is an average of more than 4,100 migrants per day since September 1.

The Texas-based sectors account for nearly 60 percent of all migrants apprehended along the southwest border with Mexico, according to unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas.

Christensen told Breitbart there is a near-constant flow of buses out of the Rio Grande Valley Sector cities of Brownsville and McAllen. The RGV Sector is the busiest of the Texas-based sectors this month, with the apprehension of more than 31,000 migrants in three weeks, the reports indicate.

The Del Rio and El Paso Sector apprehensions fell slightly behind the RGV Sector with nearly 29,000 and 25,000 apprehensions, respectively.

“President Biden’s continued refusal to secure our border invites thousands of illegal crossings into Texas and our nation each day,” Gov. Abbott stated. “Texas communities like Eagle Pass and El Paso should not have to shoulder the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration caused by President Biden’s reckless open border policies.”

The Office of the Texas Governor reported:

In April 2022, Governor Abbott directed TDEM to charter transportation for migrants who have been processed and released by the federal government into Texas communities. To board a bus, a migrant must volunteer to be transported and show documentation of their release from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

To date, Texas has bused:

Since Abbott began busing migrants to these sanctuary cities, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has become an outspoken critic of the Biden administration’s policies on border security and immigration.

Three days ago, Mayor Adams warned President Joe Biden of the “tremendous toll” the “asylum seekers” are placing on his city, Breitbart’s Elaine Mallon reported. His warning came as the president prepared to travel to New York City for a meeting at the United Nations.

“President Biden is coming to the city,” Adams said on Thursday. “New York doesn’t deserve this. The asylum seekers don’t deserve this.”

The president, however, did not meet with the outspoken mayor. Instead, he met with New York Governor Kathy Hochul.

“Had a very productive conversation with President Biden tonight regarding some of our specific requests for help with the migrant crisis. Also commended him on his leadership at the UN today,” Hochul posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Since beginning the migrant busing program in April 2022, Texas bused more than 40,000 migrants to the cities of Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, and Los Angeles.

Feel Safe Yet? NYC Mayor Eric Adams Deploys Police Robot to Times Square Subway Station

September 22, 2023 by Alana Mastrangelo Leave a Comment

The NYPD is deploying robot police to the Times Square subway station, with New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) saying the move will save the city money, given that robots don’t need “bathroom breaks” or “meal breaks,” and the city is paying less per hour than its minimum wage to lease the robot.

“The population of men and women in law enforcement — in criminal justice — those numbers are decreasing,” Mayor Adams said in a Friday morning press briefing, announcing the deployment of the robot. “What we must do is look at existing technology and see — how do we continue to be innovative.”

“We must use every available method to continue to see our city be the safest big city in America, and that’s what we’re doing,” the NYC mayor insisted. “We’re taking existing technology, cameras, being able to communicate with people, and we’re placing it on wheels.”

“Properly using technology saves money,” Adams continued. “Being able to view from the ground or in the air really allows the proper deployment deployment of manpower and police resources.”

Therefore, on Friday, New York City is deploying the police robot, called K-5, to patrol the city’s busiest subway station in a new pilot program, the mayor said.

“Today, we’re launching a pilot program to test the Knightscope K-5 security robot,” Adams announced. “The NYPD must be on the forefront of technology.”

The mayor explained that the police robot “will operate between midnight at 6:00 a.m. at the Times Square subway station for two months,” and “will be accompanied by a police officer at all times.”

“It will be trained to map out the station,” Adams said. “It will record video that can be reviewed in the case of an emergency or a crime. It will not record audio, and it will not use facial recognition.”

Adams added that the K-5 does will also “have a button that connects you immediately to a live person that New Yorkers can utilize 24/7 with questions, concerns, or to report an incident, if needed.”

After the two-month trial program, the effectiveness of the robot cop will be assessed, and a decision will be made on how to use the technology moving forward, he said.

The mayor went on to stress that the city is leasing the robot for $9 an hour, noting that the price is below minimum wage in New York City.

“It’s cost-effective, $9 an hour. That’s below minimum wage,” he said. “We’re not buying [the robots], we’re leasing.”

After being asked by a reporter how much the robot will cost, Adams said, “I know you wanted to write about how we’re wasting money, but I’m sorry, I’m taking your thunder away. We’re leasing at $9 an hour.”

“I’m hoping you’re going to put a line in your story about how cost-efficient I am,” Adams insisted. “This is below minimum wage. No bathroom breaks, no meal breaks. This is a good investment.”

NYC Official: Not Getting into ‘Politics’ of Criticism of our Sanctuary Status — ‘There’s Opportunity’ in Migrant Surge

September 21, 2023 by Ian Hanchett Leave a Comment

On Thursday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports,” New York City Emergency Management Commissioner Zachary Iscol stated that the city isn’t “going to participate in the politics or the palace intrigue” over whether it should deal with the influx of migrants because it’s a sanctuary city and that in the surge of migrants, “there’s opportunity.”

Host Elizabeth Vargas asked, “And how do you respond to people like Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) who says, you guys up there, the right to — the sanctuary city, right-to-shelter city, you’re the ones, you liberals passed this policy, you deal with it?”

Iscol responded, “So, I think that there’s a lot of conflation of who is to blame for this, and there’s a lot of finger-pointing. And I will leave it to the politicians to point fingers. The mayor has been very clear that we’ve got a crisis, we need to focus on addressing that crisis, and we’re not going to participate in the politics or the palace intrigue. We need to work together to solve this problem.”

He added, “You asked this question, why are people coming? Forced migration is going to be one of the great challenges of the 21st century…and, in that forced migration, there’s opportunity. Every time this country has dealt with forced migration — go back to World War II, European refugees, 1.8 million. Vietnamese boat people, Cubans, Haitians, Soviet Jews — the federal government has run a process to relocate people around the country, get them working, and when it’s done that, it’s been a huge investment in the American economy and society.”

Blue on Blue: NYC Mayor Eric Adams Tells Biden to Visit Migrant Hotel

September 20, 2023 by John Binder Leave a Comment

As President Joe Biden visits New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, Mayor Eric Adams suggested he visit the Roosevelt Hotel, which is housing thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens.

To see the impact of illegal immigration on New York City, Adams told NY1 News that Biden ought to visit the Roosevelt Hotel, which serves as a welcome center for thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens that continue arriving weekly to the sanctuary jurisdiction.

“There’s still an opportunity for him to look at the Roosevelt Hotel — like the Hispanic Congressional delegation did several days ago,” Adams said.

When members of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, visited the Roosevelt Hotel, they were shouted down by protesters chanting “Close the border!” as they lobbied Biden to not stop the flow of illegal immigration but merely provide work permits to those released at the border.

Adams also said Biden must understand the economic impact that illegal immigration is having on New York City.

“I am hoping that he understands this beautiful city that’s the economic engine of the entire country is being saddled with $2 billion that we spent already, $5 billion we’re going to spend in this fiscal crisis, $12 billion in the next two budgetary cycles,” Adams said. “New York doesn’t deserve this. The asylum seekers don’t deserve this.”

emorris

Adams’ latest remarks come after he made national headlines when he declared to New Yorkers this month that illegal immigration “will destroy New York City.” Days later, Adams announced that city services would be cut across the board as a result.

Specifically, Adams is directing every city agency to make five percent budget cuts so New Yorkers can afford the $12 billion price tag that comes with the arrival of the more than 110,000 border crossers and illegal aliens that have arrived in the city since the spring of last year.

As Breitbart News reported, Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is releasing more than 60,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities every month. Tens of thousands of those are ending up in New York City monthly.

‘Take Them Back’: Protest Forms in Front of NYC Migrant Shelter

September 20, 2023 by Elaine Mallon Leave a Comment

Protestors outside a former assisted living facility turned migrant shelter prevented illegal aliens from getting off a bus for several hours in New York City, New York, on Tuesday.

About ten protestors were arrested in Staten Island after a video showed them banging on bus windows and chanting, “Take them back,” preventing the migrants from entering the shelter, the Daily Mail reported.

A police officer at the scene suffered a knee injury when a protestor resisted arrest. 

The protest comes as New York City Major Eric Adams (D) faces a humanitarian crisis with 60,000 migrants in the city’s care.

Adams denounced the protest, calling it an “ugly display.”

“We cannot allow the numerical minority that’s showing [an] ugly display of how we deal with the crisis to be used as an example of what New Yorkers are doing,” Adams said. “I understand the frustration that New Yorkers are going through and understand the frustration that asylum seekers are experiencing as well.”

He warned the influx of migrants would cost the city $4 billion this year alone, equaling the city’s fire, parks, and sanitation budget. 

City officials expect the asylum seeker population to reach nearly 33,980 households this fiscal year. 

Adams said the city plans to cut services such as library hours, meals for senior citizens, and free, full-day care for three-year-olds in order to make room in the budget to accommodate migrants.

Mayor Adams has called on President Joe Biden to send aid for the city:

I am hoping that he understands this beautiful city that’s the economic engine of the entire country is being saddled with $2 billion that we spent already, $5 billion we’re going to spend in this fiscal crisis, $12 billion in the next two budgetary cycles. New York doesn’t deserve this. The asylum seekers don’t deserve this.

The federal government has promised New York City $140 million in aid, but the city has yet to receive the federal funding.
