New York City is "at a breaking point" after more than 90,000 illegal aliens have arrived in the city since last spring, according to city leadership.
A group of 54 NYC Democratic elected officials, including state senators and assembly members, sent a letter to President Joe Biden Wednesday asking him for "help."
"Our City is experiencing an unprecedented migrant influx, with a surge of asylum seekers arriving here in numbers never seen before in history," the letter reads.
"We take pride in New York being a beacon of hope for immigrants, but the influx of migrants is so great that the city is running out of resources," the Democrats told Biden. "New York City is being forced to reduce services to its people."
The New York City officials ask Biden to declare a federal state of emergency in response to the influx of migrants, expedite work authorization for migrants, "distribute migrants fairly" across the country, and provide the city with more federal funding to "manage the tens of thousands of asylum seekers we are hosting."
The state officials told the president they "take pride in welcoming immigrants" but added that "the current unstructured state of immigration policy and response needs to end."
New York City Mayor Eric Adams met with Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas Thursday to discuss the city's immigrant crisis. The New York Post reports the meeting resulted in an agreement from Mayorkas to provide NYC with a liaison to "strengthen 'communication' between City Hall and the Biden administration."
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries were present for the meeting, which is reported to have lasted about an hour.
After the meeting, Adams said he appreciated "Secretary Mayorkas' commitment to visiting the city and designating someone at DHS to serve as a point-person on our asylum seeker needs. We look forward to his visit and learning more about DHS' plans for how this role will operate."
According to Adams, NYC continues to "do more than any other city in the nation, but we need additional support from our federal and state partners."
Adams' meeting with Mayorkas comes about a week after the mayor announced that NYC will begin distributing flyers at the U.S. southern border asking illegal aliens to "consider another city" besides the Big Apple.
The bright yellow flyers, which are also written in Spanish, tell illegal aliens "Housing in NYC is very expensive," and "There is no guarantee we will be able to provide shelter and services to new arrivals."
In an effort to create shelter space for families with children, Adams announced last week that the city will give "60 days' notice to adult asylum seekers already in our care to find alternative housing."
The Center for Immigration Studies released a report in April claiming that the Biden administration has released 2,020,522 illegal aliens into the U.S. The report added that an additional "1.3 million known got-aways" have entered the U.S. interior during the Biden presidency.

Suck it up NYC. You voted for them now you get to pay for it as they give illegals all the free stuff you were hoping to get. And the sadest thing is they will just keep voting dems in.
I don’t understand why people persist in going to the president with this problem. If you want real solutions, they need to come from Congress.
True, but if you want cash fast, a national emergency declaration from the president can get money faster.
He could also us DHS dollars to transport migrants awaiting immigration proceedings from along the border farther inland to alleviate the current overcrowding there.
Actually, Brandon is in charge of the enforcing the border and our immigration laws. He is doing neither.
His DOJ is doing a wonderful job preventing border states from enforcing our borders. First by forcing Arizona to remove their container and razor wire wall. Then having the BP cut holes in Texas razor wire to allow illegals through. So much for having to enter the US at a "legal port of entry". Now that Texas has moved onto buoys (since the DOJ said no razor wire on federal land)- they are trying to sue to get that removed as well.
At least his AP to preregister sucks (typical of all government run applications and websites on start up). Brandon isn't in a big rush to fix it either.
As for Congress- Democrats want amnesty to be a part of any immigration reform. They can fuck off.
Judgmental Democrat run bastions of stupidity sanctuary cities and states have long criticized border states for complaining about the cost of having illegal immigrants are now crying when they receive a fraction of the amount. And like Martha's Vineyard they are shipping their problems off to surrounding communities that didn't sign on to their stupidity. Typical leftist elitist nimby's.
Democrats were ringing the dinner bell all during the 2018/2019 primaries about ending Trump's border policies. They switched to gong once Brandon took office. Brandon tried to end stay in Mexico with one of his first EO's. Then fought a federal judge ruling to keep it in place all the way to the Supreme Court. He has turned the BP into paper pushers. Sex trafficking, drugs, and gun running have all increased under his watch.
Democrats created this mess; and Democrats need to be the ones to fix it- since they have done everything in their power to sabotage border states efforts.
Wide open borders and amnesty is not an immigration policy. It is an effort to drag the US down to Third World status.
" It is an effort to drag the US down to Third World status."
Why do they want to do that to our country?
Same reason they want to federalize laws on all elections; pack the Supreme Court; and have turned the FBI, DOJ, and IRS into arms of the Democrat Party.
To get one party rule and stay in power.

New York City has been broken for years.
