Abbott previously bused 50,000 illegal immigrants to Democrat-run cities.
An estimated 10,000 illegal immigrants enter New York City each month.
In the first six months of 2023, over 66,000 illegal immigrants said they were heading to New York City.
The number is about 10% of the 671,721 illegal immigrants entering the country since the beginning of 2023.
To accommodate the migrants, the city may be spending upwards of $12 billion by 2025.
