New York City has taken in at least 95,000 migrants so far in 2023 despite its clear struggles dealing with the huge influx.
The city has welcomed more than twice as many migrants than Los Angeles, Miami and Houston since Title 42 was lifted in May following the end of the pandemic.
A total of 41,277 people listed New York City as their destination when they crossed the border into the US, according to data from Syracuse University’s TRAC immigration database.
They were handed Notices to Appear (NTA) in front of an immigration court in the city, which has a legal obligation to shelter those who arrive.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has pleaded for state and federal aid as it is estimated the migrant crisis will cost the city $12billion over the next three years.
