During the visit to El Paso, Texas, where he verified the conditions prevailing in the border city, Eric Adams, mayor of New York, invited immigrants not to be fooled and better to investigate what life is really like in New York for illegals, since several websites promote the idea that upon arrival they will live peacefully in hotels with all the comforts, something totally out of reality.
“It was important to come here, because we discovered that there are websites that advertise that in New York City…basically the streets are paved with gold. That there is a job, that you are automatically going to live in a hotel. So we have to give people accurate information,” he noted.
The objective of Adams’ trip was to identify why so many people are arriving every week in the “Big Apple” to the point of producing a real immigration crisis, which is already reflected in about 26 thousand immigrants who are provided with food and shelter. .
“People are being explained that in New York they are going to live in congregate environments, because there is no more space,” said.
The mayor of New York is clear that in order to try to solve the problem of immigrants, the same position must prevail among the cities involved in the social problem and also the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) must participate.
“It is wrong that El Paso has one answer and New York has another. We cannot have these unconnected answers; a coordinated response is required and that must be through the support of FEMA, since this is a national emergency, a crisis that must be addressed, ”she emphasized.
Adams was blunt in indicating that cities like New York, El Paso, Washington, Chicago, Houston and Los Angeles, which have been impacted by the wave of immigrants, do not deserve to bear the problem alone.
“Our cities are being undermined. And we don’t deserve this. Migrants don’t deserve this and neither do people who live in cities. We expect more from our national leaders to address this issue in a real way,” he concluded.
