NY GOP rips Democrats Adams, Hochul as homeless veterans 'displaced' to make room for migrants bussed upstate
Fox News
New York state Senate Republicans introduced a bill fighting New York City Mayor Eric Adams' plans to bus migrants out of the Big Apple.
The bill comes in response to reports that homeless veterans were being "displaced" from hotels in upstate New York to make room for migrants.

Weber said the bill "will prohibit hotels and homeless shelters from displacing vulnerable people in favor of non-U.S. citizens and non-lawful permanent residents of the United States."
"We always put out the welcome mat for everyone from all across the world. But what Mayor Adams is trying to do is take that welcome mat and make it into a doormat for New York City," Weber said at a press conference hosted Wednesday with other members of the state Senate GOP. "It's time to increase local control and return power to our counties, city, town and village officials to allow them to make the decisions about what is best for our communities without the interference from the state."
