The executive order mandates migrant charter buses must announce their arrival 32 hours in advance and can only drop off migrants between 8:30 a.m. and 12 p.m.

Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order Wednesday to restrict the flow of migrant charter buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to New York City.

Adams said the order mandates any buses carrying migrants arrive in the city only between 8:30 a.m. and noon on weekdays. The buses’ arrival must also be announced 32 hours in advance, he said. The order specifically applies to buses contracted by the state of Texas — whose governor Adams routinely blames for sending asylum seekers into the five boroughs.

The announcement came during a joint briefing with the mayors of Chicago and Denver. The three cities have formed a coalition to press the White House and federal government for more migrant aid as each metropolis grapples with the economic and governmental burden of housing, feeding and educating tens of thousands of migrants.

Except "things to try" can be analyzed and scrutinized before you actually try them. You act as if we're incapable of doing any of that and must instead consult some flowchart after the fact.

Can you make a good argument on what this solution is supposed to accomplish?

Ensuring the staff that processes the immigrants are on hand and ready.

Disincenticizing bus charters that don't comply. Drivers included. Costs to be born by busses and therefore passed on to the states chartering.

Edit to say: I see you acquired a down vote. Was not me. I'm here for discourse not argument.

Your first point is accurate, but I think your second point might not hold up as other comments broaching this topic have spoken of busses dropping passengers off outside of city limits in Chicago since they implemented rules banning these charters.

I suppose these new rules might not make things any worse even if they don't actually accomplish anything which isn't terrible.
