New York City Democrats Demand‍ Action on ‍Migrant Crisis

A group of passionate New York City Democrats gathered outside​ City Hall to express their frustration with the Biden ⁣administration’s handling of the overwhelming migrant crisis.

The politicians rallied together, ‌demanding ⁤more support from the federal government, as reported by the New York Post.

“Our city needs ​help from the White House,” ‌emphasized rally organizer and Democratic state assemblywoman ‍Jenifer Rajkumar, a close ally of⁢ New York City mayor Eric Adams‌ (D.). Democratic city councilman Robert Holden boldly declared that President Joe Biden is ⁤”asleep⁤ at the wheel” when it⁣ comes to addressing this crisis.

The rally took place amidst the city’s ongoing struggle to accommodate the massive influx ⁢of illegal⁤ migrants from ‍the⁣ southern border and Africa. Shockingly, dozens of migrants were‍ left with no ⁣choice but to⁣ sleep on‌ the sidewalks outside the Roosevelt Hotel due to insufficient shelter capacity.

Mayor Adams and other concerned city officials ‍have repeatedly ⁤appealed to the ‌federal government for assistance⁢ in providing shelter for the nearly 100,000 migrants who have arrived in the city since‍ 2022. However, ⁢the federal government has only committed $143⁣ million so far, which is a⁢ mere ⁢fraction of the⁤ estimated $4.3 ⁢billion that Adams’s budget office ​has projected the⁤ crisis will cost the city, according to the⁢ Post.

The mayor ​has expressed his dissatisfaction ‌with Biden’s offer of a single liaison between the city and the Department of Homeland Security, stating ​that it falls short of what is⁤ needed.

“We ⁣need​ to allow ⁣people ⁣to work.⁣ There’s nothing‍ more‌ anti-American than being denied the opportunity to‌ work! We⁤ must regain control of our borders,” Adams⁣ passionately told reporters on Monday.
