New York: New York City Mayor Eric Adams has said that some migrants have contributed to the city’s crime and also acknowledged other factors saying the grand larceny auto and other crimes are committed by New Yorkers from all backgrounds.
During his weekly press conference, Eric Adams expressed his grave concerns about the potential impact of an environment where migrants are unable to work and are left idle, suggesting this could contribute to criminal behavior.
Adams urged neighboring municipalities to continue to comply with executive orders that were put in place last week to manage the flow of migrants into the city.
New York City has received a staggering 161,000 migrants since spring 2022 and expects a further surge.
Last week, Adams office said that more than 7,000 asylum seekers had arrived in the city over the last two weeks, as reported by CBS News.
Adams had deplored in December about the minimal federal assistance to handle the migrant crisis in New York City.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s policies were singled out for criticism, with Adams accusing Abbott of intensifying the situation.
