'Help is not on the way': Mayor Eric Adams speaks out after DC meetings on migrant crisis

https://abc7ny.com/eric-adams-migrant-crisis-nyc-dc-meetings

The mayor says he has no choice but to move forward with painful budget cuts to cover a $7 billion deficit.

Adams met with Congressional leaders and members of the Biden administration on Thursday.

The mayor says Washington should help cover the cost of housing hundreds of thousands of migrants. However, he said he left the meetings "with the cold reality that help is not on the way."

"We did not walk out from D.C. with any level of optimism that anything is going to drastically change," Adams said. "It is clear that for the time being this crisis is going to be carried by the cities."

He went on to say that "help is not on the way in the immediate future."

I’m just thinking out loud but I would think if we had a system that made it easy to track them and then deport if they end up being a burden they go. 1,000…  Read more

Someone needs to tell him we’re a nation of immigrants and diversity is our strength.

How would you feel if your city's budget for public services was cut to accommodate the needs of new migrants?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

Do you think it's fair for individual cities to shoulder the burden of the migrant crisis without federal assistance?
