New York City Mayor Eric Adams has declared a state of emergency in the metropolis due to the thousands of Latin American migrants who have been bused into the city in recent months from the southern US border, Reuters reported.
City officials are expected to spend $ 1 billion to manage the flow of asylum seekers, Adams said. More than 17,000 migrants have arrived in New York since April. Since the beginning of September, an average of five to six buses loaded with migrants have arrived in the city per day. Only yesterday nine buses brought Latin American migrants to New York, Democrat Adams pointed out.
