New York City Mayor Eric Adams finally went to El Paso, TX, to see the border crisis exacerbated by President Joe Biden’s administration, months after he started taking in the migrants and continually denying invitations from Abbott.
In El Paso, Adams said New York City has no more room for the migrants. The New York Post confirmed the lack of space:
The influx of migrants into New York has gotten so bad that overfilled transient hotels are telling desperate refugees they should go back to the bus station for further guidance — and the city is scrambling to open more shelters.“The shelter is at full capacity,” one couple was told Friday at the Stewart Hotel on Seventh Avenue – which is supposed to be one of the city’s four Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers.The family, who traveled from Ecuador with two young kids, told The Post in Spanish that they were directed by hotel staff “to go to 41st and Eighth, Port Authority.”
Adams made the announcement in connection with websites he claims tell migrants everything they would ever want in NYC:
“We learned today, which was very informative and that’s why it was important to come here, that there are websites that are advertising that New York City….basically the streets are paved with gold. That there’s automatic employment, that you’re automatically going to be living in a hotel,” Adams said.“There’s a conversation among those who are asylum seekers and migrants who are given the false impression that if you come to New York City, everything is fine. We have to give people accurate information.“And that is what some of the centers are doing here. They are truly explaining to people that this is what is happening in New York right now. In New York, you go there, you’re going to be living in congregate settings, that there is no more room in New York. That should be coordinated by our national government.”
Adams also placed a lot of pressure on the Biden administration, pushing Congress to reform the American immigration system:
Adams, who was flanked by El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser, said he’d like to see FEMA appoint a leader who will coordinate the response among cities seeing a large number of migrants arrive at their doorsteps.“It is wrong for El Paso to have a response, for New York to have a response, we cannot have these disjointed responses,” Adams said. “We must have a coordinated response and that must be helped by FEMA.”“This is a national emergency and crisis that must be addressed,” he said while calling on Congress and the president to enact immigration reform.
It’s so weird. The Democrats controlled the House, Senate, and White House for two years. Two freaking years and no one did anything. Instead, the administration always said the border was secure.
We’ve seen record numbers monthly since Biden took over in January 2021. Encounters, gotaways, and people coming from countries other than Mexico.
