Amidst the rising number of migrants flooding into New York City, Governor Abbott of Texas has made a pledge to further increase the traffic along the border-to-Broadway pipeline. This move is likely to exacerbate the already difficult situation faced by Mayor Adams, who has expressed concerns that the current influx of arrivals will lead to the destruction of the city.
According to the Customs and Border Protection Agency, from April to the conclusion of July, a staggering 125,000 individuals have made their way to New York City through the border, which is more than one and a half times larger than the state capital, Albany. This information was revealed in a report, which indicates that the number of border crossers is steadily increasing.
It is projected that there will be a surge in the number of migrants in the upcoming months. According to Mr. Abbott in an interview on the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show, the busing of migrants will be increased even further to prevent them from staying in Texas. He emphasized that the state lacks the capacity to accommodate them, hence the need to transport them to other locations.
According to Mr. Abbott, even though New York City claims to be at its full capacity, he argues that if the largest city in America, with its vast size and population, cannot bear the burden of the current situation, what hope do smaller towns along the border like Del Rio and Eagle Pass have? The Governor questions how these towns will manage the massive influx of people.
In a recent statement, Mr. Abbott emphasized that the border simply cannot accommodate any more people. To address this issue, they are currently arranging for additional buses to transport individuals outside of Texas. The goal is to prevent the state from being overwhelmed by the consequences of the current border policies under Joe Biden’s administration. Mr. Abbott’s words reflect the gravity of the situation and the urgent need for action to be taken.
According to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, New York City has welcomed more individuals than any other city since last spring, with a cost of $40,000 per person. The City Council’s Republican leader, Joe Borelli, has stated that the total expenditure exceeds the entire budget of Boston.
According to Mr. Adams, there is a significant financial crisis on the horizon that will negatively impact low-income individuals in New York City. The constant influx of 10,000 people per month without any resolution in sight will further exacerbate the issue. Additionally, the mayor’s efforts to revise the city’s “right to shelter” policy will present additional challenges in addressing this problem.
According to the 40-year-old consent decree, the city is obligated to provide shelter to any homeless individual who enters the city, regardless of their circumstances. This decree was originally intended to assist homeless New Yorkers, but now it applies to anyone who steps off a bus in the city. Brooklyn Borough President, Eric Adams, has acknowledged that this requirement presents a challenge when it comes to recent waves of migrants who cannot be turned away like ineligible arrivals were once rejected at Ellis Island.
During an interview with WPIX, Mr. Adams expressed his concern about the suffering of migrants and asylum-seekers who are forced to undergo such a difficult situation. He also highlighted the impact on long-term New Yorkers who rely on revenue generated through legal entry. Mr. Adams went on to suggest that President Biden should consider implementing a “stay in place” order to prevent the influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico until they can be granted legal entry.
Mayor Adams has instructed all agencies to implement spending cuts ranging from five to 15 percent. This move aims to address the projected $5 billion cost incurred by those taking advantage of Gotham’s sanctuary city status by the end of the fiscal year. Despite requests for comment from the Sun, the mayor has remained silent on the matter.
According to Mr. Adams, the cost of sending additional buses will significantly increase, which could potentially cause irreparable damage to New York City. He recently addressed a group in Manhattan, where he expressed his concerns over the current financial state of the city. With a staggering $12 billion deficit, he warned that all services in the city would be affected. In a plea to Albany, he urged them to assist in easing the burden on the city.
According to Mr. Adams, the issue at hand cannot be solved by the federal government alone. He emphasizes the importance of the state in taking action as well. As New York City serves as the economic hub of the state, it is unfair to burden only its residents with the responsibility of resolving the problem.
According to Mr. Abbott, his constituents have been bearing the brunt of the border crisis as their state has the longest portion of the border with Mexico. This is in contrast to the situation in New York, where the impact is not as severe. The need to transport people to other parts of the country is a result of the dire circumstances that are being faced, a situation that Mr. Adams now understands all too well.
Both New York City and Texas acknowledge that the existing state of affairs is not viable for American citizens and is inhumane for the migrants arriving. It is only the federal government that has the authority to come up with a resolution. The message has been conveyed to Mr. Adams, and he is well aware of it. Mr. Abbott seems determined to keep sending busloads of immigrants until Mr. Biden takes notice.
