 New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced his intention to visit the southern border for the second time during his tenure. This trip comes as the city prepares for an increase in asylum-seekers this spring, with the mayor expressing concerns about the potential costs, which could reach as high as $2 billion. The influx of migrants has placed significant strain on the city's social safety net, with approximately 182,000 migrants passing through and nearly 65,000 still in its care.
