More buses carrying asylum seekers from Texas arrived Friday in Philly in a move orchestrated by Texas’ governor, who says it’s meant to highlight inaction on immigration by President Joe Biden, but which critics have characterized as a political stunt.
The two buses that arrived Friday at 30th Street Station included around 80 people of all ages, including families, according to NBC10’s Miguel Martinez-Valle, who witnessed the buses arriving. Organizations and officials were on hand to greet them.
NBC10 cameras captured mothers carrying babies. Some of the migrants stepped off the buses in short sleeved t-shirts, unprepared for temperatures that were around the low-40 degrees at the time of their arrival, They were given blankets with which to wrap themselves. “These are folks who have reached the legal definition of asylum. Many of them have been traveling for months – two months is what we’ve heard is like the most common timeframe,” said Erika Guadalupe Núñez, the executive director of the Juntos community organization.
