The dirty politics of busing migrants is officially an emergency

On Friday, New York Mayor Eric Adams (D) declared a state of emergency to address the flow of migrants bused north by the thousands, straining city resources. The declaration will, among other things, allow relief centers to be established more quickly and seeks state and federal aid.

“I’m here to support these people, to restore the dignity taken from them at the border,” Castro said in Spanish, answering a reporter’s question. “But most of all, I’m here because, as someone who crossed the border, I share some of the same experience as these migrants who are arriving and I want them to be treated as they deserve — as human beings.”
