Democrat-led cities across the United States are seeing turmoil and dysfunction as response to thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the US-Mexico border into the United States.
In an exclusive report by Daily Caller, it was revealed that “Migrant encounters in fiscal year 2022 were up more than 41% over 2021, and as border states and towns have been overwhelmed, some have shipped thousands of migrants to major cities far away from the border.”
In addition, Washington D.C, Illinois and New York City also declared states of emergency over “Latin American migrants arriving in their cities in recent months, tensions erupted in New York City’s government over their handling of the crisis and several liberal enclaves began preparing for an influx of migrants out of fear they may be the next destination for migrants being bussed out of Texas,” the report added.
Recent data also revealed that New York City is currently struggling to provide housing for the 21,000 Latin American migrants who just arrived this year.
Meanwhile, a small border town in the Eagle Pass, Texas has also seen at least 450,000 illegal crossings this year.
However, despite the controversies, “Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams still haven’t spoken in four weeks amid a spat between their offices over the handling of the 21,000 migrant arrivals since spring,” according to Politico.
Politico also added that the “speaker has complained about a lack of resources to address housing and other issues for the migrants, and the mayor accused the City Council of complaining without offering solutions.”
Furthermore, NYC Mayor Adams also declared and revealed his plans to “create an intake facility for migrants minutes before Speaker Adams addressed reporters at a separate press conference; she apparently had not been informed of the plans and was unprepared to answer questions,” the report added.
“As we try to find hotels, I cannot tell you how many Council people, local electives, that are yelling, ‘House people’ but saying, ‘Not in my district. The loudest have been the least benevolent … You can’t have it both ways. Either we’re in this together, or we’re not,” the mayor said when he declared a state of emergency over the crisis,” the mayor said as he declared a state of emergency over the crisis.
