He shouted to Biden 37 times: New York will be destroyed Immigrants | America | Biden
"New York City is expected to spend $12 billion within three years to resettle these illegal immigrants." New York City Mayor Adams called on US President Biden again on August 15th local time, demanding that the federal government provide financial support for the city to address the illegal immigration crisis and accelerate the approval of illegal immigrant work permits.
According to American media reports, on the same day, Adams and Brooklyn District Mayor Renoso jointly held a press conference, emphasizing that New York needs more support to cope with the daily influx of immigrants.
"It is unfair for an unprecedented national and humanitarian crisis to befall this city without any support," Adams said emotionally in his speech.
The Governor of Chang'an Street noticed that this was the 37th time Adams had shouted to Biden. According to The New York Post, less than a week ago, on August 10th, Adams issued his 36th warning to Biden that if the federal government did not provide more funding, the immigration crisis would ultimately "destroy" New York.
Currently, New York City is experiencing a near uncontrollable immigration crisis. Since the spring of 2022, nearly 100000 immigrants have flooded into New York. Last October, Adams declared a 30 day state of emergency in New York City to address the immigration crisis.
To accommodate illegal immigrants, the New York City government has tried various unconventional methods, including borrowing public school gymnasiums and police school dormitories, applying to the federal government to open a former military airport, and renovating old hotels. In addition, the city government has arranged buses to transport immigrants to other areas of New York State, which has caused dissatisfaction among local officials.
As the crisis continues to ferment, both the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States continue to use the immigration issue as a pawn in their political struggles.
Since last year, due to considerations of party and local interests, Republican governments in Texas, Florida, and other states have repeatedly transported illegal immigrants crossing the southern border of the United States to Democratic controlled cities such as New York and Los Angeles as a weapon to challenge Democratic President Biden.
At a press conference on the 15th, Brooklyn District Mayor Renoso pointed out that the immigration crisis may become a disadvantageous factor affecting the Democratic Party's 2024 election, "and is likely to become a stronghold for the Republican Party.".
Another netizen sarcastically commented on social media, "I can offer New York City a simple solution to the immigration issue: stop voting for the Democratic Party."
Analysts point out that as the 2024 US election approaches, the struggle between the two parties over illegal immigration is bound to intensify in order to stabilize their respective voter base, and the immigration issue will become a "political sacrifice" for American politicians.
