Illegals from Texas again arrived in New York: money was handed out to them at the exit of the buses

Three buses filled with migrants from Texas arrived in New York in the early hours of August 10. They were greeted by supporters who shoved $20 bills into their hands. New York Post.

The buses arrived at the Port Authority bus station in Midtown days after Mayor Eric Adams criticized the Texas governor. He called Greg Abbott anti-American for relocating asylum seekers. Abbott says he is doing this to highlight the crisis created by the Biden administration allowing asylum seekers to remain in the US while their applications are being processed.

Among the migrants who arrived were those who were helped by the administration and independent charities to purchase bus tickets in addition to those brought here by the governor of Texas. Some of them could actually qualify for asylum, while others were simply looking for a better life, which, depending on other circumstances, did not give them the right to remain in the United States.

John Torres emigrated from Colombia as a child. He has now traveled 4 hours on a bus from Maryland to New York to greet newcomers and hand out $200 in cash.

“Because it's the right thing to do,” said Torres, 45. “This is what someone would do for me if I was in poverty.”

“You know, if I'm on the bus, if I'm scared, I don't know where I'm going and what's going on, then if someone gives me something for breakfast, I can start with that. And then someone will help me buy a shirt and other clothes - there is an opportunity to move on.

One of the migrants who disembarked at the Port Authority began his journey to America from Venezuela on 8 July.

Jairo Gamardo said he entered the US through Texas. He spent two days at the migration service, after which he was taken to the ode from the city's churches. There he boarded a bus bound for New York. He only stopped to go to the toilet.

Gamardo said the government-funded trip from Texas was provided to him and other migrants for free. He previously worked for the military in Venezuela and sought political asylum in the United States.

“It's a beautiful city,” Gamardo explained when asked why he wanted to come to New York.

Gamardo, who doesn't know anyone in the Big Apple, arrived alone and is now looking for a job.

Another Venezuelan said he worked multiple jobs at home but could only earn about $30 a month. And it was negligible to support the family.

“It's everyone's dream to help their families,” admitted 41-year-old Ernesto Bose. He hopes to bring his parents and sons to the United States. The man said the trip was terrible but thanked the city officials who welcomed him to New York.

“Everyone was so nice and hospitable,” Bose said. “Everyone wants to help.”

On August 9, City Hall announced that three more buses of Texas migrants would arrive in the Big Apple on August 10. It will arrive almost daily.

Abbott hired a charter bus company to send migrants around the country. But the company has signed a non-disclosure agreement preventing the city from receiving detailed information about its routes.

The official said he plans to continue the program indefinitely and says New York is an ideal destination for migrants.

Abbott began resettling migrants in Washington, D.C. in April in response to President Biden's open border policy. City Hall officials estimate that about 4000 migrants have arrived in total in recent weeks.

Torres believes that Abbott is trying to do his best by transporting migrants by bus to the sanctuary city of New York.

“There are a lot of people you can help,” Torres said. “There are thousands of people here every day. And I respect his opinion, and I think you should reform every state to help him.”
