New York Mayor, Eric Adams says 'no more room' for migrants in his city during Mexico border visit
Telegraph, 16 Jan 2023
The mayor of New York traveled to the Mexican border city of El Paso on Sunday (January 15) and declared that "there is no room in New York" for busloads of migrants being sent to America's most populous city.
Eric Adams, a Democrat, was also critical of the administration of Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden, saying "now is the time for the national government to do its job" regarding the immigrant crisis at America's southern border.
The visit of a New York mayor to a southern border city about the issue of immigrants is unprecedented.
Busloads of migrants have been shipped north to New York and other cities by Republican run states. That has exacerbated a housing crisis in New York and a worsening homeless crisis in the city.
