PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A bus of roughly 50 migrants is expected to arrive in Philadelphia from Texas on Monday, the mayor's office announced on Friday night. The bus is expected to depart from Del Rio, Texas, on Saturday.

The city said Texas officials did not contact Philadelphia ahead of busing the 50 to 52 individuals seeking asylum. The mayor's office learned about the news from a community partner. The city called Texas officials not alerting them about busing migrants to Philadelphia "disappointing and irresponsible."

It's unclear where the bus will arrive in Philadelphia. The city said it's a fluid situation.

Philadelphia's Office of Immigrant Affairs and the Office of Emergency Management have been preparing for the potential unplanned arrival of migrants from southern states since the summer, according to the mayor's office. The city said the agencies have been meeting and coordinating with about 15 local community-based organizations and partners to plan a response, including preparations for immediate reception, shelter space, emergency health screening, food, water and more.

When Abbott started doing this over the summer to other locations, the city has been prepping for it being "our turn".

Philly braces for potential busloads of migrants sent from southern border

by ALEC SCHEMMEL | The National Desk Monday, September 12th 2022


PHILADELPHIA (TND) — Since April, the state of Texas has bussed approximately 10,400 migrants caught along the southern border to three "sanctuary cities," Washington, D.C., New York City and most recently Chicago.

Now, another major city, Philadelphia, is preparing to become the next potential destination for migrants, as Texas Governor Greg Abbott shows no signs the bussing will come to an end anytime soon.

"The busing mission is providing much-needed relief to our overwhelmed border communities," Abbott said in a press release Friday.

The City of Philadelphia is not aware of any busses heading their way, but it is currently "inventorying existing resources should those seeking safe refuge find their way to Philadelphia," a spokesperson for Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney told Axios.

This past year, we have applied to sponsor over 5600 Ukrainian immigrants -

1. Temperature is dropping. They will need winter jackets and boots.

[AllaN01Bear]

2. now that abbot is now back in office , expect more of this . and from

florida. maybe philly shound send abbot the bill.

[joshdawg]

3. "maybe philly shound send abbot the bill."

Sure, then abbott would stiff philly just like his hero trump.

This busing of immigrants just proves to me, once again, that abbott has no idea of how to do his job of "governing."
"Let someone else do it"

[keithbvadu2]

4. Republican caravan

[Evolve Dammit]

5. There's your caravans. Compliments of Abbott and De Satan. Political pawns seeking a better life.

[Initech]

6. Greg Abbott is a worthless fucking asshole!

Fuck him and fuck Fox News for egging him on with this shit.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. I'm waiting for Josh Shapiro to let him have it, right in the kisser!

(just like he let Paxton have it as AG and Fetterman let Dan Patrick have it as Lt. Gov.)!

[purr-rat beauty]

7. I thought human trafficking was illegal?

I guess these pieces of shit running florida and texas don't follow laws

[BillyBobBrilliant]

9. The last thing you'll find in Abbott's Texas

Is Christian charity.

[Genki Hikari]

15. No

As awful of a place as it is, Texas does have plenty of charity going on, and it's not limited to one religion, or to the religious alone.

10. How is he still getting away with this???

I feel so bad for the people getting shuffled around and kept in the dark like they are not even human.

This cannot be legal. It certainly is immoral.

[jmowreader]

11. Well...there's an easy way to stop this shit in a right hurry

Find fifty violent gang members who are willing to move to Texas, and load the bus with them for the return trip. Preferably members of the same gang...we don't want any gang fights on the bus.

If they want to replace fifty peaceful asylum seekers with fifty people who are by no means peaceful, that's their choice.

[Marthe48]

18. Know any magats that want to relocate?

or do most already live in that hellhole?

[jmowreader]

19. That wouldn't work at all

The objective is to fill Texas with people they absolutely do not want to be there.

I can just imagine the discussion that would happen if this was done:

“You’re trying to turn Texas into a gang infested hellhole just like New York.”
“No…Texas is already a hellhole, a few violent street gangs will do you good, and you’ll NEVER be as good as New York City.”

[Marthe48]

21. Why make the gang members suffer?

Sending them to tx. would be worse for the gang members than abbott.

[jmowreader]

22. Who knows? They might like it there!

It's warm in the winter - well, warmer than NYC or Philly anyway - and with fewer gangs to deal with there's less competition for the various businesses they are in.

But remember I put a stipulation: they have to volunteer to move to Texas. Unlike Abbott, I don't want to move people around against their will.

[Marthe48]

23. I know you wouldn't :)

I can imagine in my head how the scenes would play out. lol

[AZLD4Candidate]

12. And Texas re-elected this.

[Genki Hikari]

13. Would be interesting if Border Patrol would do its job

By stopping these hate migrations before they got out of Texas. Arrest the bus driver, impound the bus, and send the migrants to the nearest migration center in Texas. Try to move them again--same thing.

Repeat until that Texas fascist pig gets the hint.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. "Would be interesting if Border Patrol would do its job"

Well there is this drama going on - https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142993116

24. Be even better if Mexico shut down their southern borders.

To prevent them fr getting to amerikkka, in the first place. DC mayor asked for millions to help with bus loads they received, government said no. Meanwhile, DC had to close only shelter for LGBT becus of lack of funding. So much for amerikkka first.

[mountain grammy]

16. Disappointing and Irresponsible

Pretty much describes the Texas government.

[Samrob]

17. How they are cared for in major cities will go a long way to solidify ethnic voters in the future.

People remember how you make them feel.

[sakabatou]

20. Isn't this human trafficking, since the busses are going out of state?

[eggplant]

25. They should impound the bus.

This would place a quick end to this sort of crap.
