New York’s Democrat Mayor Says Migrant Crisis Has ‘Destroyed’ The City, Biden Admin Has ‘Turned Back’

The Mayor of New York City says that the illegal immigration crisis has ‘destroyed’ his city, and noted that the Biden administration has done nothing to help deal with the problem they created.

“The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” said Mayor Eric Adams (D) in a Friday panel discussion hosted by the African American Mayors Association in Washington D.C.

Adams’ comments came one day after he signed an executive order which extended the state of emergency in NYC over the influx of illegal immigrants.

“The City now faces an unprecedented humanitarian crisis that requires it to take extraordinary measures,” reads the order.

According to city Comptroller Brad Lander in an April 7 report, the city has had to ramp up its provisions for shelter by over 75% due to the influx of more than 55,000 foreigners claiming to be seeking asylum over the past year.

Meanwhile, the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget says that the full cost of providing shelter and other services to refugees is around $1.4 billion this year, and will be $2.8 billion in 2024.

“New York State and (to a lesser extent) the federal government have begun to offer some assistance, though less than their appropriate share. But even with federal and state support, the current approach is beyond what the City of New York can reasonably sustain,” wrote Lander.

Adams on Wednesday slammed the Biden administration for leaving New York City high and dry when it comes to the influx of illegals.

“The national government has turned its back on New York City,” Adams said during a City Hall press conference. “We’re here today telling the White House we have been extremely patient. We’ve allowed the coordination of all of our agencies to come together to deal with this response.”

“This is in the lap of the president of the United States.“

Adams also expressed concern over the Biden administration trying to get rid of Title 42, a Trump-era policy that allows the US to rapidly expel migrants who have entered the country illegally, warning that “52,000 [asylum seekers] could jump to 100,000 if we don’t get this under control.”

Adams’ administration has proposed measures that include providing access to humanitarian parole for illegal immigrants, including expediting work authorization.

In his April 20 executive order, Adams said that the thousands of illegals which have flooded New York City have created an “unprecedented humanitarian crisis.”

Twitter/X owner Elon Musk announced Tuesday that he is going to visit the Southern Border later this week after speaking with Republican Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales.

Musk tweeted that he will visit Eagle Pass, where unprecedented numbers of illegal immigrants have crossed into the U.S. in recent days.

Musk noted that Gonzales told him “it is a serious issue,” and that “they are being overwhelmed.”

Musk has been tweeting and retweeting material in recent days concerning the border crisis, and seems genuinely concerned about what is unfolding.

What could Musk be planning?

According to reports, up to 11,000 illegals are crossing at Eagle Pass every day now.

The new head of the Border Patrol warned earlier this week that the agency cannot protect Americans because they are being forced to process illegal immigrants:

    Video: Border Patrol Head Says Agency Cannot Protect U.S. Because They Are Forced To Process So Many Illegals

    “In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it”

    Jason Owens, the new head of the Border Patrol has warned that the agency is unable to protect Americans from “hardened criminals” smuggling in weapons, drugs and gang members because it is so overwhelmed with processing thousands of illegal immigrants every day.

    Appearing on ABC News, Owens stated that the Border Patrol cannot lawfully send back people illegally trying to enter the country over the Southern border, and has to “enforce the laws that are on the books.”

    “In terms of flow and the threats that we’re seeing with Fentanyl and with the criminal organizations that are our adversary, it’s about as bad as I’ve ever seen it,” Owens urged.

    He continued, “This isn’t sustainable. This is up-and-down the system, everybody is overwhelmed. Even the government of Mexico, which have been great partners for us, the U.S. Border Patrol, a lot of times our facilities are already over capacity.”

    Watch:

    House Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner blasted the Biden administration Sunday, charging that they are “encouraging” unsustainable surges at the border.

    The GOP Rep. said that “the manner in which they have — have provided assistance to migrants, not really communicating that our borders should be closed. Instead, have encouraging an open border policy.”

    “You know, this is a national security and an economic security threat. On national security, we’ve seen individuals on the terrorist watch list be apprehended. We certainly see fentanyl and other drugs coming across the border. On economic security, you even have the mayor of New York saying that it’s destroying his city,” Turner added.

    He added that “the Biden administration just in the last 10 days took action to give 200,000 Venezuelans temporary protective status, which includes that they cannot be deported and work privileges.”

    “If we had the right policies, they wouldn’t be here. By providing them these — the open assistance, what you’re seeing is an encouragement for others to come,” he further asserted.

    Watch:

    Less than a quarter of American voters approve of Biden’s handling of the border, according to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.
