There sure is a plan. Whine about how it's a 'Southern State problem' until the feds make them stop sending buses here. Problem solved!

If the feds have the authority to make southern and southwestern states stop busing migrants here, then it’s an outrage that the city hasn’t filed a lawsuit against those states yet.

The federal government cannot prevent freedom of movement of migrants they have released into the country.
The federal government also cannot prevent any state government from offering people free bus rides.
The migrants being bussed here are not in federal custody, and despite the rhetoric from r/politics and some on r/nyc about "hUmAn TrAfFiCKiNG", every single one of them is agreeing to come to NYC as it is a friendlier jurisdiction than TX.
This is a problem the federal government brought upon themselves by rescinding Migrant Protection Protocols ("Remain in Mexico") and allowing hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter the country every month.

Adams had been "mulling" legal action since August LOL.

NY has no problems filing litigation of questionable merit of the politics suit it.

Do you not remember the feds were flying them to westchester last spring/summer...in the wee hrs?

They aren't sanctuary cities so they can report undocumented immigrants whereas NYC would not. Maybe the feds don't want these undocumented immigrants to be reported, so they support having them sent to sanctuary cities.

My understanding is that these migrants have all filed asylum claims. That distinguishes them from undocumented immigrants subject to deportation.

Yup. That's the way it's done now. There's no risking your life to sneak across a desert anymore. Walk across the border and tell BP that you feared for your life. Free ride to town and off you go.
That's why 40% of asylum seekers don't bother showing up for their hearing.

Unfortunately it takes 4-5 years before asylum claims are adjudicated.

Because the GOP refuses to adequately fund the system/migration courts. They want to keep their 'border crisis' strategy.
Not that underfunding of the courts is a one party problem. Getting a trial in NYC takes years at this point. Yet if the courts work as they need to, then certain people who love to prey upon those who don't know what bail reform actually is won't be able to use these things as wedge issues. At least not as effectively.

GOP doesn't support these bills because they come packaged with broad amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants. That is as much of a poison pill for the GOP as a republican bill including more funding for increased deportation would be a non-starter for Democrats.
There has not been a democrat-sponsored immigration bill introduced in the past 5+ years that did not include a multi-million person amnesty.
Democrats had a federal trifecta for 2 years, yet not a single immigration bill Schumer or Pelosi brought out for consideration was narrowly tailored to immigration court funding.
GOP leadership doesn't favor such "skinny" bills either, so they are also at-fault.

That's not how the policy works anymore.
You can't just roll up to border. There's an app used to file claims before departing, and if you just show up at port of entry without an appointment for your claim, or you are caught crossing the border illegally you get expelled back to Mexico, with some exceptions for unaccompanied minors, etc.

I doubt that all these people being bused here have filed asylum claims.

It’s been my assumption but I don’t have a source one way or the other. Seems like a legitimate question.

they'll do that as soon as the fed stops the one way bus tickets from port authority bus terminal to small town USA

Well their busing them here because the leadership proudly admits NYC is a sanctuary city if Eric admits it's not it could stop but democrats are too prideful to admit their wrong
