In Chicago and across the country, public services like transportation, healthcare, and education are already under pressure. The demands of families who have been here for the past 7 months have put a significant strain on every aspect of city services.

Migrants at the southern border have realized that little has changed. Deportations are minimal compared to the daily influx of people crossing the river. They know that if they arrive, they will likely be released into the country with a court date, as the system is heavily backlogged. The Biden administration's warnings against illegal crossings and encouragement to use legal pathways are being ignored. In the past five days alone, there have been 45,000 encounters with migrants at the border, averaging almost 9,000 per day. This number is significant when compared to New York City Mayor Eric Adams' statement that the city cannot handle 10,000 migrants per month.

Immigration and migration are often seen as recent phenomena, but they have been a part of Britain's history for centuries. Even before the 19th century, people from different backgrounds were settling in Britain. The Romans, for example, left behind a significant number of African settlers when they departed. In George and London, there were also thousands of black people. Britain has always been a country of migrants, as one committee member of the Migration Museum Project pointed out. However, it is interesting to note that the UK does not often acknowledge or tell this story.

In 2017, Caucasian Americans of European descent will become a minority in the US for the first time due to continuous immigration. This shift is seen as a positive and a source of strength for the country.

Throughout history, the percentage of foreign-born individuals in Britain has varied. Under the Romans, it was 3%, while under the Normans and Vikings, it increased to about 5%. However, for the next 1000 years, it remained around 0.5%. In 1851, it was still 0.5%, but by 1951, it had risen to 4%. In 2001, it reached 8%, and currently stands at around 14% to 15%. The latest census results, expected to be released soon, will reveal the most up-to-date figures.

Illegal immigration hit record lows under border patrol services. However, after a change in leadership, around 20 million people entered the country. The data shown is a few months old, but the impact is clear.

The area was filled with migrants, but they were moved inside when filming began. Signs offer free travel tickets out of New York City in multiple languages. The migrants disappeared when approached for questioning.

I'm shutting down the migrant facility at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan. Since 2023, this hotel has been the arrival center for migrants seeking asylum. When the hotel opened to migrants in 2023, we were receiving up to 4,000 migrants a week. In total, about 232,000 migrants have sought shelter in the city, with the Roosevelt Hotel serving as the front door for about 75% of them. Thanks to our policies, new arrivals are down to an average of about 350 each week. While we're not done caring for those already here, this marks progress in turning the corner on this unprecedented international humanitarian effort. These activities will continue in New York City, just not at this location. We'll be spreading these efforts to other facilities around the city.

Ninety percent of people coming into the country are trying to do the right thing. Currently, some people who shouldn't be are being removed from the country, including those with visas.

Our diverse communities, including Muslims, Africans, Asians, and Hispanics, contribute to America's strength. Immigration continues nonstop, with Caucasian Europeans becoming a minority in 2017, making up less than 50% of the population. This shift is seen as a positive source of strength.

We used to handle immigration differently in the past. Nowadays, it's harder. Take a nice woman with kids, for example. She shouldn't be here, but the children are beautiful. Back in Dwight Eisenhower's time, nobody complained. Our country was different then.

After I left office, illegal immigration hit an all-time low, according to government data. However, when the current president took over, the number of illegal immigrants surged, with around 20 million entering the country. This chart, though a few months old, clearly shows the drastic increase in illegal immigration.

We invite people to come here, regardless of their background or circumstances, assuring them that they will be safe and cared for. New York is a place of refuge, with open arms and big hearts. However, we must spread the word that we have limited capacity and cannot accommodate everyone. It is advisable to apply for asylum before leaving your country, as it is the smartest choice.

New York is a place of refuge, but we lack enough hotel rooms. It's important to spread the message that if you're leaving your country, consider applying for asylum before going elsewhere.

Mass immigration into the U.S. does not reduce world poverty. The U.S. takes in 1,000,000 legal immigrants every year, while there are 3,000,000,000 people in the world making less than $2 a day. Immigrants are not typically pulled from the poorest populations because they are too poor, sick, and disconnected. Immigrants tend to come from countries with average incomes lower than Mexico, which accounts for 5,600,000,000 people. Taking in 1,000,000 immigrants does not tackle world poverty and impacts the unemployed, working poor, vulnerable members of society, and natural resources. Even doubling immigration to 2,000,000 a year would not make a noticeable difference. The million immigrants taken are among the most energetic, better educated, and dissatisfied people who could be agents of change in their countries. Impoverished countries add 80,000,000 more people to their populations each year. Immigration can never be an effective way to deal with the suffering people of the world because they have to be helped where they live.

Immigration has become a hot topic for various political groups recently, despite being a long-standing issue. The increase in numbers over the years, particularly in illegal smuggling, has caught people's attention. The State Department estimates that there are currently 40 to 75 ships involved in bringing people into the country illegally.

Venezuela has been emptying its prisons and rehabilitation centers, sending people to the US. DHS confirmed this, with millions arriving in the US. Officially, 10-11 million have come, but estimates suggest 15-18 million.

We have a large population here that is not sustainable. New York City is replacing regular students with migrants. We are planning the biggest deportation effort in our country's history, sending everyone back to their original countries. We have no other option.

Democratic mayors and governors in cities like New York, Washington DC, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are acknowledging the crisis of illegal immigration. Even the mayor of New York, Eric Adams, admitted that it is destroying the city. However, he hypocritically blames Texas Governor Greg Abbott for the problem, as Abbott has sent some illegal immigrants to blue jurisdictions. But the number of immigrants being transported from Texas is just a fraction compared to the massive influx on the southern border. Texas has seen around 7.2 million illegal immigrants during the same period that New York has had around 110,000. The southern border receives about 9,000 people daily, which is equivalent to what New York considers a crisis in just 12 days.

Approximately 15,000 immigrants moved to a town of 60,000, representing a 25% population increase. This influx of new residents may present challenges related to integrating a new population, language, culture, and dietary preferences.

New York is a complex city that offers a wide range of experiences. From tragic events like the 9/11 attacks to the joy of witnessing new businesses opening, every day is unpredictable. Despite its complexities, New York remains the greatest city in the world.

The Statue of Liberty inscription reflects our values, welcoming people from all backgrounds and circumstances. New York offers a safe haven, providing housing and protection to those in need. We encourage the world to send us those seeking comfort, as we have big hearts and open arms. However, we must also convey that our capacity is limited, and we cannot accommodate everyone. It is advisable to consider other destinations or apply for entry properly.
