NYC Mayor Adams Laughably Wants to Bus New Yorkers to Texas to Campaign Against Gov. Abbott – Opinion

If anyone thought New York City Mayor Eric Adams would be an improvement over the incompetent Bill de Blasio, they’ve had a rude awakening.  After whining incessantly over Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s dark-genius plan to bus illegal immigrants to the Big Apple, Adams wants to strike back by sending a busload of New Yorkers to the Lone Star state to campaign to oust Abbott.

“I already called all my friends in Texas and told them how to cast their votes,” Adams said during a news conference on Tuesday. “And I am deeply contemplating taking a busload of New Yorkers to go to Texas and do some good old-fashioned door knocking because we have to, for the good of America, we have to get him out of office.”

This sounds quite threatening. How serious was he regarding this cockamamie scheme? He did smile when he said it, which may indicate that he was laughing. But on Sunday, he issued this tweet claiming that Abbott has “used innocent people as political pawns to manufacture a crisis”:

Does he realize how silly this is? Is he able to see the mirror in his own eyes? He’s a Democrat, and the Democrat party under Joe Biden has stopped the construction of Trump’s wall, encouraged people to come to the border and enter the country fraudulently, and crippled agencies like the Border Patrol. Yet somehow this crisis is Abbott’s fault?

Adams might ask the Biden administration to stop illegal immigration. Nope. As my colleague Mike Miller reports:

Eric Adams was asked by the New York Post if he had asked Biden and federal agencies for a change in the policy on open borders to stop illegal border crossings. “Shockingly,” Adams said he has no interest in doing so.

Fox News’ Bill Melugin sums up the absurdity perfectly:

However, the harshest response was from Mitch McConnell Anang Mittal, former Creative Director at Kentucky Senator.

Abbott welcomed the New Yorkers who might come to Texas. It may give them an insight into the chaos that the Biden Administration has created at the border. A statement from his spokesperson stated:

We hope the Mayor of New York City will come to Texas and campaign for Beto O’ Rourke. To see the true humanitarian crisis that President Biden created, he should also stop at the Border.

Abbott is up for re-election this November, facing off against that walking political stunt machine, former Democratic congressman Beto O’Rourke. My guess is that a busload of whining New Yorkers entering the fray would be about as welcome in the Lone Star state as Gavin Newson’s campaign ads. They were not very well received.

Although the back and forth between Adams and Abbott can be funny at times, it is not always humorous. Every day, tragedy strikes at the overcrowded border. The White House and blue governors routinely mock red governors for daring to fight back. Although it’s not the job of a New York City mayor to solve the border crisis, Adams certainly isn’t helping here or saying anything useful. He’s just trying to get cheap political points.
