Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said that New York City authorities will send an as yet undetermined number of immigrants to them of the thousands who have arrived in recent weeks.
He added that even though you know this will incur costs and you don’t yet know where they will be placed, they will not be turned away.
“While we don’t yet know where they will be housed, I have been assured that the costs associated with their housing, food and other support services will be paid for by New York State or New York City,” he said.
“They come here are enduring the most difficult situation of their lives, something we should all consider, and they deserve our respect, compassion and dignity as they work to start a new life in our country,” he added in a statement.
The Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, has pointed out on multiple occasions the migratory crisis that is being experienced by the massive arrival of immigrants.
This week he estimated that some 5,800 arrived in the last seven days.
On the other hand, the municipal council is expected today to approve a petition to suspend the law that obliges the City to give shelter to new arrivals in less than 24 hours.
