Mayors bring President JoeBiden's border crisis to his doorstep and demand national solution
Democratic and Republican leaders who gathered a matter of blocks from the White House lamented how they had been left to foot the bill for costs associated with the border crisis, which has resulted in well over 1.5 million immigrants who crossed the border being released into communities since Biden took office.
Adams slammed lawmakers for leaving city and state governments to pick up the pieces of what he said was a federal problem that Washington had failed to address since the last immigration reform nearly three decades ago. Roughly 30,000 immigrants have been transported by Abbott's buses, according to his office's last update, which is a drop in the bucket of the 1.5 million immigrants who have been released at the border and traveled to places across the country on their own.
"Our call on the federal government [is] to help not just deal with the crisis, but solve the crisis, which I think are two different things," Suarez said during a press conference Wednesday."There's sort of the symptoms of the crisis and the crisis itself. And I think that's going to require a very comprehensive strategy."
Gloria called for the Biden administration to take a significant step forward by implementing a strategy to create more prosperity in the Western Hemisphere so that fewer people feel the need to flee their homes.
