Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The mayor called on the federal government to tighten border control, provide funds to cities overburdened by the influx of migrants, and to get other cities to accept the immigrants.
51% : U.S. border guards are grappling with a surge of migrants crossing from Mexico.
44% : Since April, New York has set up 42 emergency shelters, enrolled 5,500 children in public school and tried to help the asylum seekers connect with family and resources.
38% : But we didn't get the support and information we asked for, and now, New York City is being forced to bare far more than its share of this national crisis.''Our right to shelter laws, our social services, and our values are being exploited by others for political gain,' the mayor added, criticizing the current busing program.
