New York Leaders Push Biden Administration for Federal Aid as Migrant Influx Overwhelms City Resources

Over 100,000 migrants have arrived in New York City in the past year, filling shelters to capacity.
Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul are pressing the White House for financial assistance and access to federal facilities to house migrants.
Hochul criticized Texas Governor Greg Abbott for busing migrants to Democrat-led cities and burdening New York's resources.
New York officials emphasize the need for expedited work permits to allow migrants to legally work and transition out of crowded shelters.
Adams estimates the mounting cost of handling the influx could reach $12 billion for the city by 2025.
