Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday applauded President Biden’s latest crackdown on migrants from several Caribbean, South and Central American countries attempting to cross the southern border into the United States, amid tens of thousands of those migrants continuing to arrive in New York City for the better part of a year.
But, Adams said, there’s still far more that the White House can do to help the city handle the influx of migrants.
Biden’s sweeping policy change would effectively prevent any migrant coming from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua or Venezuela from entering the U.S. and seeking asylum here by crossing the southern border, according to a published report. Those who violate the rule, will be promptly expelled to Mexico, which has agreed to accept up to 30,000 migrants each month.
