New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams blasted President Biden Friday, saying that the White House’s policies on the border issue has turned the city into a disaster.
“The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” the mayor said during a panel discussion hosted by the African American Mayors Association.
Adams has reportedly asked for assistance multiple times from the federal government as New York City deals with an influx of illegal immigrants who have made their way to the city.
“Every service in this city is going to be impacted by the asylum seeker crisis,” he added.

The mayor traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with officials at the White House on Friday after putting Biden on blast. Adams met with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients and Julie Chavez Rodriguez, director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs, according to Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. He was also scheduled to meet with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell while in the nation’s capital. “I don’t have details on what came up in the meetings,” Jean-Pierre said. “I’m sure a range of issues will come up and he’s a partner on many issues.” There are at least 34,800 illegal immigrants currently being housed in shelters throughout New York City, according to the latest data from City Hall, the Post reported. Last year, Governor Greg Abbott (R-TX) began sending buses of illegal immigrants to leftist “sanctuary cities” across the U.S., including New York.
