New York Mayor Eric Adams speaks during the New York Democratic Party 2022 state Nominating Convention, in New York on February 17, 2022. AFPPIX: Eric Adams, the Democratic mayor of New York, sounded the alarm this week over the financial strain his city faces as thousands of asylum seekers arrive each month – many sent by Republican governors after crossing the southern US border.
“We have to feed, cloth, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets, give them everything they need, healthcare,” he said. Sending migrants to Democratic strongholds has become a political cudgel for the American right as a means of denouncing President Joe Biden’s immigration policy, which they say has allowed undocumented migrants to cross the border with Mexico in large numbers.
“This dangerous rhetoric is something you’d expect from fringe politicians... not the mayor of a city that has always welcomed and celebrated its diverse and critically important immigrant community,” the Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless said in a joint statement Thursday.
