New York City Mayor Eric Adams toured El Paso this weekend, where he surveyed the border crisis for himself and called on the federal government to play a bigger role.
"We’re pointing the finger … at our national government," Adams said."This is a national problem. We must have real immigration reform, and we must immediately have a short-term fix of making sure that the cost of this does not fall on our local cities.
"We have to give people accurate information," he said, adding that the burden should fall on the federal government to educate migrants about the realities they are going to face. "Our cities are being undermined. And we don’t deserve this. Migrants don’t deserve this. And people who live in the cities don’t deserve this," Adams said."We expect more from our national leaders to address this issue in a real way."
