Eric Adams touched down in El Paso for a weekend trip to the southern border, a day after he claimed New York City has reached the 'breaking point' with the inflow of migrants.

Adams' spent the weekend visiting shelters, encampments and common areas where migrants cross the border. He also met with Mayor Oscar Lesser who recently declared a state of emergency over the ongoing crisis in the border city.

The mayor's impromptu weekend came after he submitted an emergency mutual aid request to the state and Gov. Kathy Hochul asking for immediate help to house the incoming migrants as 400 arrive each day.

Adams called for a 'national solution' and claimed he was on the frontline of the crisis along with the border states as the Big Apple reaches about 40,000 asylum seekers since last spring.

'On the ground in El Paso last night,' Adams tweeted on Sunday. 'This is a national crisis and we need a national solution. Mayors like @OscarLeeser and I are on the front lines and we need federal support.'

Adams' call for help from Gov. Hochul comes a day after New York received more than 800 migrants on Thursday.

'We are at our breaking point,' Adams said. 'Based off our projections, we anticipate being unable to continue sheltering arriving asylum seekers on our own.

'Our initial request is for shelter to accommodate 500 asylum seekers, but, as New York City continues to see numbers balloon, this estimate will increase as well.' 

Adam's office noted that the city has received more than 3,100 asylum seekers in the previous week, averaging about 400 each day.

'All this is pushing New York City to the brink,' Adams said. 'Since last spring, the city has stepped up to welcome approximately 40,000 asylum seekers, providing them with shelter, food, and connections to a host of resources.

'We have opened 74 emergency shelters and four humanitarian relief centers at breakneck speed, and done this almost entirely on our own.'

Hochul responded to Adams' call for help on Saturday after not mentioning the crisis at her State-of-the-State address last week.

'This is an issue that is heartbreaking for all of us to see these individuals who traveled so far under such difficult circumstances just in search of the American dream,' Hochul said on Saturday, according to CBS. 

'I told the mayor I'd be continuing to help him. We've been helping him for many months. We'll continue to give him support.'
