Mayor Eric Adams Announces New Restrictions for Arrival of Immigrants in New York City Amid Immigration Crisis

Mayor Eric Adams announced Wednesday a series of measures with which he hopes to control the arrival of new immigrants in New York City.

This comes after a flight carrying asylum seekers was diverted to Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Five buses then transported immigrants to the Big Apple. According to Eric Adams, it was a decision by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

In a virtual meeting with Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, Adams specified what the new restrictions were.

The 4 measures for the arrival of new immigrants to New York

  • Buses that transport immigrants must have a contract from the state of Texas
  • They can only arrive from Monday to Friday, between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm
  • The arrival of immigrants must be in an exclusive place and with prior agreement
  • New York must be informed 32 hours before new immigrants arrive
  • Adams’ meeting with the other mayors was also intended to obtain funding from the federal government so that the immigration crisis does not ruin their cities.

    More than 300,000 migrants could cross the southern border before the New Year

    Our reporter Rolman Vergara, from Univision 41, reported that a “human wave” is expected to cross the southern border of the United States, even before the New Year. The scenario would put the bilateral relationship in check.

    According to data from the Border Patrol (CBP), almost 70,000 migrants are detained, but they estimate that the number will increase to 307,000 in the coming days, with 75,000 of Mexican origin.

    Immigrants with children can only stay 60 days in New York shelters

    From the New York City Hall in lower Manhattan, a group of activists and community leaders spoke out on November 19 for Eric Adams to eliminate the 60-day rule in immigrant shelters.

    Liza Schwartzwald, director of the New York Immigration Coalition, one of the groups that organized Tuesday’s march, told the AP that time limits only serve to uproot families who have already made the dangerous journey to cross the border. .

    Immigrants who are alone can only stay 30 days in the shelters.
