"Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not," Adams said at a press conference during a stop in Puebla in central Mexico."They deserve a more dignified environment than we are able to give." But in recent months, Adams and some other Democrats have said their cities far from the southern border are now also being strained by a surge of new arrivals, many of whom are fleeing violence and economic distress in Venezuela.
The New York Immigration Coalition and other advocacy groups have criticized Adams' trip as an ineffectual use of time and money when Adams is slashing city budgets, saying New York's mayor has no influence on international policy and that the city has mismanaged the existing shelter system. They have said his remarks last month that the migrant crisis will"destroy New York City" are inflammatory.
Joshua Goldfein, a Legal Aid attorney, said it was unclear whether physically traveling to the Darien Gap might help with the crisis in New York City, and there was more the mayor could be doing without leaving his hometown.
