NYC Dems criticize Biden Admin over migrant crisis, call for assistance.
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.
