New York's Democratic mayor and the Biden administration are fighting over what to do about a surge of migrants

What to do?
How about for starters, we secure our border? How about changing our laws so people cannot enter the country illegally and claim asylum, when it's likely they are lying about their situation?

Tensions are rising between the New York City mayor’s office and the state and federal governments over how to handle more than 58,000 asylum seekers now in the city’s care, as the Biden administration resists a quick fix proposed by the state and city.

Many migrants, some of them shipped to New York by Republican governors to the south, have been sleeping on the streets after existing hotels and shelters reached capacity, and they are starting to fill new shelters converted from houses of worship and schools. Opponents of the new migrant shelters rallied this week at protests in Brooklyn, Staten Island and Queens.

Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has repeatedly blamed the Biden administration for not giving the city more resources to house the migrants and fast-track them for work authorization.

The longer the surge continues the more certain a Donald victory is next year. NY can sink under their extra weight as far as I am concerned . Just get ready to pay me out bookmakers .

Uncle RICO's band-o-turds have blown through all their discretionary spending money so any additional funds to those Yankee pukes will have to come through congress.....Good luck with all that.

Democrats have never thought of those things. Besides, there is no such thing as illegals - only asylum seekers.

This is what happens when two dipshit liberals try to make policy. With Democrats, everyone is so busy doing things that will benefit themselves that they completely forget about the country and the American people. MAGA. America first.

They didn't forget. They intended to harm the country.

Biden in 2019: The Fact​

A video clipping of Biden speaking at a debate prior to general elections in 2019 clearly shows him say, 'Surge the borders.' "I would in fact make sure that there is immediately a surge to the border. They deserve to be heard. That's who we are. "We're a nation that says, 'You want to flee, and you're fleeing oppression, you should come,'" Biden had told during a debate moderated by Univision's Jorge Ramos in 2019.
