• Cuomo highlights the strain on NYC, which has received over 175,000 asylum seekers since spring 2022, leading to increased costs for housing, education, and medical care.
• The former governor argues that the federal government's policies have encouraged migrants to come to the U.S., while the state has directed them solely to NYC, exacerbating the city's challenges.
• Cuomo calls for federal assistance to alleviate the financial burden on NYC taxpayers, who are already facing high taxes and other urban issues.
• Despite his controversial past, Cuomo receives support from congregants during his speech at a Bronx church, with some expressing a desire for his political comeback.
