NEW YORK CITY DECLARES A STATE OF EMERGENCY DUE TO MIGRANT CRISIS

  • 08/10/2022

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has declared a state of emergency to deal with a "crisis situation" caused by a migrant influx.

Since April, more than 17,000 people have entered the city from the south.

In recent months, Republican states such as Texas, Arizona, and Florida have been sending migrants to Democratic areas.

It's part of a dispute with the White House as record numbers of people cross the US-Mexico border.

Mr Adams stated at a press conference on Friday that an average of five to six buses have arrived in the city each day since September. According to him, one out of every five people in the city's shelter system is an asylum seeker. Many of those arriving are families with school-aged children and are in serious need of medical care, he said.
