In an unprecedented visit, New York Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, visited the border city of El Paso on Sunday and told migrants that "there is no room" for them in the Big Apple.
Adams called on the federal government of Joe Biden to intervene in the current situation that has put social care services to the limit.
For months now, Republican governors of border states have been sending crowds of migrants to Democratic cities in a strategy to put pressure on the migration crisis.

Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington are going through a similar problem after receiving the trucks sent by states like Florida and Texas.
