Texas Governor Greg Abbott is firing back at New York City Mayor Eric Adams after he threatened to send bus loads of New Yorkers to Texas to campaign against Abbott's re-election bid.

"I kind of feel like Clint Eastwood. Go ahead, Mayor. Make my day," Abbott publicly declared Wednesday.

The dueling politicians have gone back and forth since the Lone Star State began busing migrants from the Texas-Mexico border to the Big Apple on Aug. 5.

Since late last week, at least 160 migrants have stepped off buses in New York City, Shaina Coronel, a spokesperson for Manuel Castro, the Commissioner for the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs told USA TODAY Thursday.

Abbott’s comments came after Adams’ said he was considering taking a busload of New Yorkers to Texas "and do some good, old-fashioned door-knocking” against the Texas governor.

On Thursday morning Abbott tweeted Texas was taking "unprecedented action to stop the influx of illegal immigrants crossing the border."
