Amid a four-day junket to Latin America this week, Mayor Eric Adams said Friday there is no one “magic pill” that will solve New York City’s migrant crisis and that visiting a dangerous stretch of jungle Saturday that many migrants pass through will provide him with a greater insight into the problem.
Hizzoner explained what he hopes to accomplish by visiting the dangerous Darien Gap when speaking to reporters Friday following a virtual briefing from Quito, Ecuador. The Darien Gap is a region covered by rainforests and mountains between Colombia and Panama, which many migrants must pass through in order to get to the U.S.
