LNew York mayor tells Puebla residents his city is ‘at full capacity’

New York City Mayor Eric Adams told residents of the Mexican state of Puebla on Thursday that although the city welcomes migrants, it is now “at full capacity.”

“We’ve had over 117,000 migrants and asylum seekers from several different areas. Over 65,000 are still in our care,” Adams said at a press conference in the state capital, referring to the past year.

“What we want to tell people on this trip is to let them know the realization that if you come to New York City, you’re not automatically allowed to work, the living conditions are not in hotels as people expected and it is really at the point that we have reached full capacity,” he said.

Adams is in Mexico for the first stage of his trip that will include Ecuador, Colombia and Panama to learn more about the situations causing the flow of thousands of migrants who have arrived in the American city in the past year.

The official denied that there is any plan to stop the entry of migrants to the city and said that New York was built thanks to migrants and welcomes them.
