Texas Gov. Abbott makes rare NYC stop where he lauds Dems Adams, Hochul for pressuring Biden on migrant crisis

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott lauded New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for demanding federal help on the migrant crisis.

"It is all carefully, choreographically designed policy put in place by the current President of the United States of America," Abbott said at the event hosted at the Yale Club. "It was just three years ago we had the lowest number of border crossings in 40 years. It’s kind of hard for people to understand or remember."  Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"We as a nation are facing an extraordinary challenge, quite literally a national crisis, as we gather in New York today," he continued. "There are ways in which Texas is stopping people from illegally entering, but the Biden Administration wants those people to come in. This is unsustainable, and those are the words of your Mayor. Those are the words of the Mayors of Chicago and Los Angeles. Those are the words of the Governor of Texas. What’s going on is unsustainable. It’s a crisis that’s chaotic and must stop. While we are waiting on a President who is going to enforce the laws – not even pass new laws – that are currently on the books, Texas is going to continue to use every tool we can to secure the border in the best way that we can."
