Mayor Adams is in Mexico as part of his four-day tour of Latin America to learn more about the migrant crisis.
The president spoke from the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe about the difficulties that motivate people to seek the American dream.
But he also sought to end what he calls “propaganda” about the living conditions of migrants in New York.
The mayor visits the city of Puebla this Thursday.
On his Twitter account he published this message:
– The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe means so much to so many people around the world, especially in New York City. I felt firsthand the power of faith and the service it inspires.

An expert on political issues told us that about his trip to several countries.
Somehow he says that he is not going to invest anything in this trip, that he is going to pay for it, but he is using city resources through the NYPD, because they have to review the security protocol. And it would be interesting to see if he is going to meet with senior United States officials who will be in Mexico these days… “they say.
Manuel Castro, Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs in the city, accompanies the mayor and wants immigrants to understand that the situation is difficult and that there is not room for everyone:
Regarding Adams, he said that it is a very important moment to be with the immigrant community on their journey through Mexico, Latin America, and also to entrust ourselves to the Virgin of Guadalupe to support them in these difficult times and to take care of everyone on the journey they are taking. .
The tour includes the cities of Quito, Bogotá and the Darién Gap, the passage between Colombia and Panama.
