Mayor Adams Addresses Immigration Crisis, Urges Migrants to Stay Away from NYC

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, during his Latin America tour, stated in Mexico that there is "no more room in New York" for migrants, emphasizing the strain on resources and the desire to avoid congregate shelters and false employment expectations. Adams highlighted the contributions of the city's migrant community during the pandemic and expressed the belief that borders should remain open but with a decompression strategy to handle the influx. He is on a four-day trip to Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and the Darién Gap, where leaders informed him of a significant flow of migrants heading to the U.S.-Mexico border.
