It's imperative that we've been holding these conversations throughout the five boroughs. It's about quality of life. It's about this direct communication and interaction. This is the best part of the job. Education is the way. If you don't educate, you will incarcerate and you will devastate the lives of people who are abandoned along the way.

More than 17,000 asylum seekers have been bused directly to New York City. New York City has helped them all. But although our compassion is limitless, our resources are not.
