Squad member and New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D) took aim at his party leader President Joe Biden in recent remarks on the worsening crisis at the southern border and the migrant crisis in New York State; “We need leadership from President Biden, period,” Bowman says.
“We need that leadership right here in New York State, because you know, New York State is struggling,” Bowman added, according to a video captured by NY1. “We’re struggling to provide housing and all the support that the migrants need.”
“Here’s the thing, Democrats are looking bad right now in New York State, and that’s unacceptable when we have to win at least four congressional seats to take back the House,” Bowman said. “So hopefully the president is listening.”
From Fox News:
Illegal crossings at the southern border are down overall from when Title 42 was lifted in May. However, more than 93,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since last spring, straining city resources to a critical point, Mayor Eric Adams’ office said last week.
People have been sleeping on Manhattan sidewalks as locations that have been turned into migrant processing centers, like the Roosevelt Hotel, have quickly reached capacity.
Dozens of New York Democrats have pleaded with Biden to declare an emergency and authorize more federal funds to help deal with the crisis.
