New York City Mayor Eric Adams said his city is bracing for another influx of buses carrying thousands of migrants from the U.S. border with Mexico, as a Trump-era health edict is set to expire this week.
The rule, known as Title 42, allows federal officials to prevent asylum seekers from entering the country during public health emergencies. The Trump administration invoked the rule during the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
But with the pandemic waning, the Biden administration is poised to let the rule expire on Wednesday. A federal appeals court on Friday cleared the way for the lifting of Title 42, unless further court action authorizes a delay.It could produce a new surge of migrants entering the country from the southern border, further inflaming the national debate over immigration.
“With the expiration of Title 42 just days away, we need the federal government — both in the administration and in Congress — to share their plans to move asylum seekers to other cities, to allow asylum seekers to work, and to send aid to the cities that have borne the brunt of this crisis,” Adams said in a statement Sunday.
The city says it has absorbed more than 31,000 asylum seekers, putting further stress on emergency shelters.The federal government is sending asylum seekers to New York City with the hope of a better life - but the system has left many on the streets and struggling.
