Tenn., Georgia locals report issues with migrants heading to NYC, D.C.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s decision to bus illegal immigrants to the Northeast is causing a stir in Tennessee, where a McDonald’s employee decided to call the cops on migrants who pleaded for food and money from customers.

The buses are using Chattanooga as a pit stop on the way from the southern border to places like Washington, D.C., and New York City, local police told WTVC News Channel 9.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, is feuding with Mr. Abbott, a Republican, over the situation, but there are signs of spats between migrants and locals en route.
