The buses from Texas have stopped for now, but the migrants keep coming to New York City — attracted by bright lights and sanctuary city laws.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott hasn’t sent a migrant bus to the Big Apple in months after migrant flows into the Lone Star State all but dried up thanks to his strict measures to deter illegal crossings, a source with knowledge of the busing program told The Post.
No migrant buses have left Texas since at least mid-June, and the last of the buses didn’t even head to New York — they were bound for Chicago and Los Angeles, the source said.
Since 2022, Abbott bused over 119,000 migrants to sanctuary cities through a program he started in April 2022.
At the height of the busing effort, New York City was receiving around 3,500 migrants per week. Now, about 800 migrants per week are still coming, City Hall said.
The latest arrivals are coming on their own. Several of New York City’s recently arrived migrants told The Post they’d crossed into San Diego.
