Eric Adams, New York Mayor addressed illegal immigrants in New York during Sunday’s press conference. This sounds very much like what the leaders in the Southwest United States have been saying since a while.
“We can’t have the historical, ‘I believe people should be housed, but just don’t house them on my block.’ Everyone’s block is going to be impacted by this,” Adams said.
He continued:
“And so we have to add our advocacy with our ability to help our neighbors, and we need everyone on board with this. As I said last week, schools will be affected. The impact on our healthcare system will be significant. Infrastructure will be affected. But we’re willing to do our job, we gonna do our job, and we gonna need all New Yorkers to be with us on this.”

ABC New York estimates that 2,800 refugees have been bussed into the United States from Arizona and Texas, according to ABC New York.
His tone was similar to that of Muriel Bowser (Democratic Mayor of Washington D.C.), who faces an increase in the number of immigrants in her own city.
“Well, this is a very significant issue. The federal government has been asked to collaborate across states in order to ensure that people are not tricked into trying to board buses. We think they’re largely asylum seekers who are going to final destinations that are not Washington, D.C.” Bowser said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” last Sunday, Nick Arama reported.
They sound very similar, despite the fact that they are both the same as the state leaders and the local authorities in the border communities who have been raising the alarm ever since the crisis began.
Governors. The decision by Govs. Democrats across the country, including those in Texas and Arizona are being asked to speak out about the negative consequences of having a porous Southern border. Hopefully, they’ll bring the much-needed nationwide attention to the issue beyond only Republicans calling for action.
Adams may be right about the impact of an influx on his city. However, it’s possible to hope that Adams understands that this is more difficult in places with less resources.
