Democratic politicians are not rolling back the welcome mat to immigrants despite the toll the surge of border crossers has taken on cities and states.
More than 2 million immigrants have been released into the United States from the southern border since 2021, and many have chosen to move to immigrant-friendly cities up north. The influx of arrivals to cities including New York City, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., has led the blue cities to call in, and even demand, federal assistance, but their open-arm welcome has not quite diminished despite the hardships.
Hundreds of localities have adopted sanctuary policies over the past decade. The term generally refers to a local jurisdiction that will not work with federal immigration officers. For example, the New York Police Department will not detain an illegal immigrant arrested and jailed in New York City to transfer to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Adams's office said immigrants released into the U.S. have documents and thus would not need to seek out a sanctuary city despite Abbott's claim. "Most migrants arriving to the border probably have no idea what [sanctuary] means," Brown said."They're looking to settle in a place that has jobs. They all want to work, or maybe they're going to a place where they know where [other people from their country] have gone and found jobs."
"That is just not sustainable. It’s not realistic. ... That’s not fair to New York City residents," Adams said."It’s not that the District has offered too many resources, but rather that we need assistance from the federal government in the way of financial resources, help with housing, and work permits," White said in an email."No jurisdiction can manage international migration by itself, but collectively we can do better.
"Yes, there are very real logistical challenges; it comes down to funding and coordination to be able to provide resources that address the basic and legal needs of the thousands of new arrivals we are seeing each month," Chan wrote in an email."But I do see a lot of people coming together to do their part to help and rising to meet the challenge, including nonprofits, community-based organizations, the private bar, and members of our community.
