NYC and Other Sanctuary Cities Demand Federal Action As Migrant Influx Strains Resources

Over 100,000 migrants have arrived in NYC in the past year, with thousands more continuing to arrive weekly.
NYC has opened over 200 shelters and spent billions to provide housing, food, and services to migrants.
Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul have declared emergencies and repeatedly called for federal assistance, faster asylum processing, and work permits.
The White House has provided some aid but shifted responsibility to NYC, offering only vague recommendations for improving migrant operations.
Frustration is growing as NYC struggles to accommodate migrants while the federal government refuses to take decisive action to secure the border or provide substantial relief.
