TL;DR Summary

New York City Mayor Eric Adams plans to send around 300 asylum seekers to hotels in upstate New York, drawing criticism from local officials who likened it to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's move to bus migrants to New York City. Adams had previously criticized Abbott's strategy as "morally bankrupt." The influx of migrants seeking asylum has overwhelmed the southern US border, sparking a national political debate over immigration. The huge numbers of migrants seeking asylum have long been shouldered by southern states, but now, local officials in Rockland County and Orange County are making similar objections to Adams' plan.
