Eric Adams expresses concern over his city’s financial strain as asylum seekers arrive each month.
New York City mayor Eric Adams estimated incoming migrants would cost the city US$12 billion over three years.
He said 10,000 migrants are arriving each month “from all over the globe” and that 110,000 people have shown up since Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas, began sending migrants to New York aboard buses. Other Republican governors, and some Democrats, have followed suit and began transporting migrants out of their jurisdictions.
Mayor Adams, a Black former police officer who hails from the moderate wing of the Democratic Party, estimated last month that providing support services to the incoming migrants at US$12 billion over three years.While describing Abbott as a “madman,” Adams on Wednesday also repeated complaints that the federal government currently under his party’s control was not adequately addressing the issue.
