Eric Adams on Biden border policy shift: 'We still need long-term' migrant reform
Over 35,0700 migrants have come to New York City since the sping.Mayor Eric Adams slammed the federal government for failing to enact strong border policies that’s now draining New York City’s financial resources – but stopped short of blaming Biden himself.Adams noted that Biden needs to do more to control the immigration surge.
“We appreciate this administration’s partnership and response to our request for action, and we are hopeful this policy will help better control the flow of asylum seekers arriving at the southern border. At the same time, we still need a long-term and proactive strategy to manage the crisis we are seeing,” Adams’ statement continued Thursday.
“This must include legislation that will allow asylum seekers to legally work while waiting on their asylum applications, a true decompression strategy and resettlement program that ensures asylum seekers are being spread out across the nation and not just sent to a handful of cities, and emergency financial relief for our city.
“Finally, we ultimately need a bipartisan effort to deliver true, long-awaited immigration reform so we can offer people a safe, legal path to the American dream.”
