He’s said the city is receiving around 500 migrants per day from border states, and his office expects those numbers could double with the end of Title 42.

The New York mayor has urged the administration to better coordinate response efforts and speed up federal financial assistance and work permissions for migrants. “It wasn’t easy to make this decision, to leave our home and entire family back in Venezuela,” Tonito said in Spanish. They’re now among dozens of young migrant families staying at a La Quinta Inn in Queens as they wait for documents to be able to live in the US. Pedro Tonito, 43, and his family have been in the US for two weeks after a months-long journey from Venezuela that involved a dangerous crossing of the Rio Grande, he told Bloomberg News. It’s also placed Biden in a standoff with Republican and Democratic leaders at the state and local level who say they need more federal help to handle the influx. The situation is poised to worsen with the US government losing its power to quickly expel migrants using a pandemic-era measure known as Title 42 that’s expiring on Thursday. In New York, Mayor Eric Adams has lamented the pressure on his city’s already-strained budget - with people camped out in cheap hotels and bus terminals - and Chicago leaders have been forced to house migrants in public buildings and even police stations. In El Paso, Texas, they’ve declared a state of emergency as hundreds of men and women are sleeping on sidewalks, but the crisis has spread to America’s largest cities. (Bloomberg) - An expected surge in migration at the border with Mexico is setting off alarm bells in states and cities across the US - and stoking tension between Joe Biden and fellow Democrats just as the president’s reelection bid gets under way.
