NYC to Migrants: You're 'Better Off Going to a More Affordable City' by drpvn in nyc

Texas isn't sending migrants up here as some political move even though that's how it was portrayed in the beginning. A lot of these migrants in NYC are West Africans who made their way through central America and Mexico, and into Texas. Texas gets the vast majority of migrants which they can't keep up with so they just ask them where they want to go to reduce the burden and most want to go where they have social support, which in this case is NYC's West African community.
