Mayor Adams on Border Crisis: ‘Cities Shouldn’t Be Handling a National Crisis of This Magnitude’

EXCERPT:

ADAMS: "The overall fix is cities, El Paso, Bronwsville, Chicago, New York, cities shouldn’t be handling a national crisis of this magnitude. We’re getting an average — just think of this morning. There are weeks we get 4,000 migrants that come into our city. When you have inward of 2,500 to 4,000 coming in a week and you have to find housing, food, shelter, clothing, educating the children, health care, that’s not sustainable. It’s a $12 billion hole in the budget of our economy. It’s going to impact low-income New Yorkers and it's going to impact every service in the city. I said it last year, we’re going to start seeing the visualization of this crisis. We’ve done a great job, but we can’t continue to sustain this."
