'We Need to Control the Border': Adams Calls for State of Emergency as Chaos Erupts in NYC [Watch]

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is calling on the Biden Administration to control the border as New York City shelters reach critical mass under the weight of the migrant crisis.

“We need to control the border. We need to call a state of emergency, and we need to properly fund this national crisis,” Adams said during a recent press conference. “We need help. And it’s not going to get any better. From this moment on it’s downhill. There is no more room. I was at the Roosevelt on Saturday, and I went there on Sunday. They lined up around the block, hurting the businesses there; this is not going to get better. We put buses there for cooling systems, but it is just not sustainable.

Footage from the Roosevelt Hotel went viral as migrants attempted to rush the doors.

100s of migrants are sleeping outside of the hotel due to no more rooms at the hotel. Some have been out here since 10 am . This is extremely dangerous, and NYC can't handle this migrant crisis.

From Breitbart News:

In the coming days and weeks, Adams said his office will unveil the “next phase” for the city’s handling of illegal immigration that ultimately grapples with the fact that “there’s no more room indoors.”

“I can assure you that this city is not going to look like other cities where there are tents up and down every street,” Adams said.

Also on Monday, local officials and Queens residents held a protest in opposition to plans by Adams’ office that would have 1,000 single male migrants put into a tent city on the grounds of the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center.
