Democratic-led states still grapple with housing migrants

The migrant crisis in major Democratic-led cities has eased in the year since it was a full-blown emergency. But the problem hasn’t gone away.

More than a year ago, a surge of border crossings — coupled with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott busing people to blue cities — led to a massive influx of asylum seekers into Chicago, New York, Boston and elsewhere. They slept in police stations and hospitals. New York City’s mayor proposed housing migrants on a barge. Democratic leaders even publicly blamed President Joe Biden for not doing enough.
