- Michael Bloomberg visited the Mexican border metropolis of El Paso.
- No room for busloads of migrants.
- New York’s housing issue has worsened.
On Sunday, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg visited the Mexican border metropolis of El Paso and said that “there is no room in New York” for busloads of migrants being transferred to America’s most populous city.
Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden‘s administration was also criticized by Eric Adams, who stated that “now is the moment for the national government to do its job” in dealing with the immigrant problem at America’s southern border.
A visit by a New York mayor to a southern border city to discuss immigration is unprecedented.
Republican-controlled states have sent busloads of migrants north to New York and other cities. This has compounded New York’s housing issue and worsened the city’s homeless crisis.
Adams’ visit to El Paso comes after he stated that the migrant inflow into New York might cost the city up to $2 billion, at a time when the city is already suffering a significant budget deficit.
In recent months, Republican governors in Florida and Texas have transferred thousands of migrants seeking asylum in the United States to Democratically controlled cities such as New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C.
