New video shows trainloads of migrants cheering as they head to the U.S. southern border

WASHINGTON (TND) — As the number of migrants trying to cross into the U.S. illegally through the southern border continues to rise, new video emerged on Sunday showing a train full of migrants cheering as they approached through Mexico.

The images come as communities struggle to handle the incoming surge of migrants.

Friday in New York, protesters heckled Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats during a news conference they held on the migrant crisis there. The lawmakers were barely audible over yells from the upset crowd.

People in cities have been losing patience with their leaders over the issue. Leaders like New York Democratic Mayor Eric Adams blame the White House. Adams is demanding more federal money to deal with what he sees as a national problem.

We’re saying this condition has a real destructive part to it that is going to have a rippling effect throughout our entire city," Adams said during a Sunday interview with MSNBC.

Sources close to Hillary Clinton, a former Democratic U.S. senator for New York, told NBC New York she’s siding with Adams, urging President Joe Biden to do more to ease the burden on New Yorkers.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott continues to draw attention to the crisis by sending migrants to self-proclaimed sanctuary cities such as New York and Chicago. During a recent interview with Axios, progressive Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass voiced fears her city might be the next target.

While migrants have been bused to Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Denver, New York is the only state with a right to shelter law, meaning it must care for the migrants who arrive there. Mayor Adams predicted the care will cost New York City $12 billion over the next three years.
