NY City told Biden about the migrant crisis he had precipitated
The city obviously felt the impact of Texas sending migrants there that Biden had let in at the border. It turned out to be a smart move by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. By bussing the illegals to New York it got the attention of Democrats who did not live on the border. While Mayor Adams was explaining the problem, it did not resonate with Biden and his team to the point that they would actually control the border....
New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently discussed his interactions with the Biden administration regarding the ongoing migrant crisis in the city, sharing that President Joe Biden and his staff allegedly encouraged him to “be a good Democrat” in handling the influx of illegal migrants. The New York Democrat made it clear that Joe Biden’s allies did not want any bad publicity on the immigration issue, especially coming from a fellow Democrat like Mr. Adams.
In December 2023, Adams, along with other mayors of sanctuary cities, voiced urgent concerns to the Biden-Harris administration over the overwhelming number of migrants arriving in their cities. These cities were faced with the complex challenge of housing, feeding, and providing aid to thousands of migrants. During an interview, Adams revealed some of the details from his meetings with President Biden and his team, offering insight into their response to the escalating issue.
Adams explained that he had multiple conversations with top Biden administration officials, including Julie Chavez Rodriguez and Tom Perez, before speaking directly with President Biden himself. Reflecting on the meeting with the president, Adams recounted, “I said, ‘Mr. President, I’m not sure what they’re telling you about this problem. But this is a terrible problem that’s playing out on the ground that we need to fix our border.’”
The mayor emphasized the strain on his city, where the influx of migrants, particularly those bused in from Texas, has placed immense pressure on local resources. “We need to just stop allowing people to come into the country with no destiny. We don’t know what we’re doing with them, and they were stuck,” Adams added.
The crisis has been exacerbated by record high encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border under the Biden administration. As a sanctuary city, New York City has faced particular challenges in managing the arrival of thousands of illegal immigrants since 2023.
Adams further detailed the challenges New York City faces, noting that some migrants are expected to remain in the city for extended periods — sometimes up to two years — without work authorization. “There [were] some that were coming here that were almost six months to a year, in some cases two years, without any work authorization,” he explained. “Like what do you do with someone that cannot provide for themselves for that long period of time?”
The mayor highlighted the extensive strain on public services, revealing that the city is tasked with providing for not just the migrants themselves but also an estimated 40,000 migrant children. “We need to feed, house, clothe and educate these children, while also caring for migrant adults,” Adams said.
