Much has happened in the last few years but cast your mind back to the halcyon days of 2022. Here's something that happened to NYC thanks to the now-defeated Governor of Texas (courtesy of AI Overview):
Texas Governor Greg Abbott began busing migrants from Texas to New York City in August 2022 as part of a political strategy to protest federal border policies and relieve resource-strained Texas border towns.
- Origins: Texas launched its migrant busing program in April 2022 (initially sending buses to Washington, D.C.) before adding New York City and other self-declared sanctuary cities.
- Arrivals: By late 2023, Texas had transported tens of thousands of migrants to New York City, placing heavy strains on local homeless shelters, social services, and city resources.
- Justification: Governor Abbott defended the initiative—stating during interviews like one on Politico that federal immigration policies are to blame—and arguing that New York City's right-to-shelter laws and policies made it an appropriate destination.
- Rejection: New York City Mayor Eric Adams and other city officials sharply criticized the transports as a "cruel" political stunt that overwhelmed local intake and shelter infrastructure.
It was a cynical game played by an evil man who used desperate human beings as Poker chips. New York City was able to handle it (of course we did, even with Eric Adams as mayor) but it was a sick attempt to fuck with our city and do us harm.
Well ... karma is sweet!
The Governor fucked with NYC and now he's been fucked back! He becomes the first Republican governor of Texas to lose in over 40 years. He's been humiliatingly defeated by a young Latina woman -- ouch!
So he can go straight to hell, a defeated, disgraced failure.
Don't fuck with NYC!
