Should Mayor Adams reach out to Latin American countries regarding migrant crisis?

New York City mayor, Eric Adams, has been vocal about the multitude of hardships facing the Big Apple in regards to the migrant crisis that has seen over 120,000 asylum seekers and migrants arriving in NY. Some estimates have said that there can be up to 1,000 people per day seeking refuge in the city. Images out of New York showed migrants sleeping on the streets because there was no room to house them. Unable to find the support he was looking for from New York Governor, Kathy Hochul, and Biden’s federal government, Adams took the unconventional step this past...

As a sanctuary city, New York city has drawn large numbers of migrants seeking refuge. Since last spring, New York city has taken in about 100,000 asylum seekers. An influx that large would put a strain on any city and the Big Apple is reaching its limit. As NYC Mayor Eric Adams put it “Our compassion may be limitless, but our resources are not.“ Sheltering 100,000 people, while compassionate, is still a daunting task that is seeing tent cities being utilized in some cases and people sleeping on the streets in others. Some groups are calling for a fast-track to...
