“The pace of the arriving buses and the volume of arrivals have reached tipping points,” Bowser wrote in a July 19 letter to the office of the U.S. secretary of defense. “Our collective response and service efforts have now become overwhelmed.”Greg Abbott “With pledges from Texas and Arizona to continue these abhorrent operations indefinitely, the situation is dire, and we consider this a humanitarian crisis — one that could overwhelm our social support network without immediate and sustained federal intervention.”, which obtained the letters, the mayor has not received a response from the Biden administration as of Thursday.
Local officials say migrants have also been dropped off in cities along the way as well as in New York City, though Abbott’s office says they’re dropping people off only in Washington. The free transportation services provided by Arizona and Texas can benefit the migrants because they usually spend days in border city shelters until their relatives or friends can pay for a bus or plane ticket.
