It's costing NYC billions to house them in hotels so I'd say it's a win for Texas here. Lots of outrage here in NY over it. I can see it flipping some local elections
It's not going to flip any local elections except the mayoral race. No one blames local council people for the actions of freeloading southern states. The money is going to come from the federal government because this is a federal issue. Obviously Republicans in the House do not want to pay the bills their friends in Texas and Florida created.
Mayor Adams however is not doing a good job lobbying Congress for this money. He's also being investigated for campaign finance issues. The FBI or Justice Department already took his phones. Something about taking money from Turkish Universities or something weird. He actually had meetings with Congress to ask them for money and left to deal with his legal issues. Whatever.
Texas is sending the migrants that want to come to the US. Local politicians said NYC was a "sanctuary city" and now here they come. It's a nice thing in theory but breaks down in practice. Once the climate migration starts if NYC is still a sanctuary we are fucked
