<p>After <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-york-city">New York City</a> Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/eric-adams">Eric Adams</a> bemoaned the arrival of roughly 10,000 asylum seekers to the Big Apple each month, a journalist shot back with statistics that indicate how that number compares to what officials see at the U.S. border with Mexico.</p>
<p>Fox News reporter Bill Melugin shared on Monday a post to X from John Modlin, chief patrol agent of the Tucson Sector, saying that last week there were <a href="https://twitter.com/USBPChiefTCA/status/1700256540568010920">10,700 apprehensions</a>, 526 rescues, nine human smuggling events, five narcotics events, and five firearms seized.</p>

<p>&mdash; Bill Melugin (@BillMelugin_) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillMelugin_/status/1701255025329414146?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 11, 2023</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;NYC Mayor Eric Adams says NYC cannot handle 10,000 migrants per month,&#8221; Melugin said. &#8220;Border Patrol&#8217;s Tucson, AZ sector just had almost 11,000 in one *week*. And that&#8217;s just one of nine sectors along the southern border. Sanctuary cities get a tiny fraction of what&#8217;s coming across border.&#8221;</p>
<p>Melugin&#8217;s post attracted the attention of X owner Elon Musk, who responded, &#8220;<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1701340151115309372">Wow</a>,&#8221; and other commenters, some of whom called for more migrants to be sent to New York or for the border to be shut down.</p>
<p>Adams, a Democrat, announced over the weekend &#8220;steps&#8221; to stabilize his city&#8217;s finances to contend with the cost of taking care of more than 110,000 migrants.</p>
<p>&#8220;Today, with approximately 10,000 asylum seekers still arriving each month, the city estimates this mounting crisis will cost taxpayers $12 billion over three fiscal years — an amount that will continue to grow without federal and state intervention and support,&#8221; Adams said.</p>
<p>In remarks last week, Adams said the migrant surge could &#8220;destroy&#8221; New York City and he took an apparent swipe at Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott <a href="https://twitter.com/theblaze/status/1699809602643140713">while chastising red states</a> for busing migrants to blue cities in an effort to alleviate their border communities and challenge &#8220;sanctuary&#8221; policies.</p>
<p>&#8220;We turned this city around in 20 months and then what happened?&#8221; Adams <a href="https://twitter.com/theblaze/status/1699809602643140713">said</a>, alluding to his city dealing with the COVID pandemic. &#8220;It started with a madman down in Texas who decided he wanted to bus people up to New York City: 110,000 migrants we have to feed, clothe, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets, give them everything they need — healthcare.&#8221;</p>
<p>Modlin, during a congressional hearing earlier this year, <a href="https://www.c-span.org/video/?525780-1/chief-patrol-agents-testify-us-southern-border">told lawmakers</a> that he needed more personnel at the border. &#8220;I certainly know I do not have enough agents within Tucson sector to deal with the flow that we’re dealing with now,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>In a CNN interview on Monday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/department-of-homeland-security">Homeland Security</a> Secretary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alejandro-mayorkas">Alejandro Mayorkas</a> lamented how officials are dealing with a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/broken-system-mayorkas-responds-to-nyc-mayors-siren-about-migrant-crisis">&#8220;broken immigration system,&#8221;</a> but insisted that the Biden administration has &#8220;responded with a model approach that has proven to work.&#8221;</p>
