The mayor of New York, Eric Adamsthis Sunday he asked federal authorities for help in the face of what he hopes is a massive arrival asylum seekers to the city as a consequence of the end of a policy that allowed it United States of America expel most of the people who cross the southern border of the country.
According to Adamsthe Big Apple It is preparing to receive “from today” a large number of buses arriving from the border and more than a thousand arriving in the city every week asylum seekers higher than normal.
This year they finished New York tens of thousands of people in this situation, mostly Venezuelans and many of them sent on buses chartered by Texas by the republican government Greg Abbottwho opted for this measure to share the burden and criticize the Administration’s immigration policies Joe Biden.
“We have already received more than 31,000 asylum seekers in our city and we currently have 60 emergency shelters open, 4 humanitarian assistance centres and 2 reception centres. We have put thousands of children in schools and spent hundreds of millions of dollars taxpayers to clothe, feed, house and sustain this very needy population,” Adams said in a statement.
According to the mayor, now New York it needs “urgent help” from state and federal authorities, which it has accused of having “largely ignored” requests for support made so far.
“Our reception system is full and we are almost without money, personnel and space”, insisted the democratic politician, who asked Washington Possible floors to move into asylum seekers to other cities, to allow them to work or to “send aid to the cities that have borne the brunt of this crisis”.
United States of America is preparing for the end of Title 42a health standard established by the former president Donald Trump (2017-2021), and maintained by the current government, which has so far allowed the deportation of most people crossing the southern border.
The government of Joe Biden must comply with an order of a federal judge in Washington DCwhich in mid-November ordered the repeal of the regulation, defined as “arbitrary and capricious”.
The end of this rule, which forbade most of the asylum applications at the border, lead to an increase in the number of people arriving south of United States of America hoping to seek refuge in the countryside.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has already outlined the strategy it will follow to deal with a greater arrival of migrants, but has assured that the US system “is not designed” to deal with the migratory flow actual.
