NYC migrant crisis escalates as Adams warns of devastation and protesters disrupt Democrats

  • Over 110,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since spring 2022, with Texas Gov. Abbott exacerbating the situation by busing migrants to the city.
  • Mayor Adams has warned the crisis could "destroy" the city, leading to budget cuts and reduced services, and has criticized the lack of federal support.
  • Protesters have disrupted Democrats like AOC as tensions rise over the strain on city resources to house and support migrants.
  • Adams and other leaders are pushing for expedited work permits to allow migrants to be self-sufficient amid a lengthy federal process.
  • There are calls for the federal government to provide funding and declare an emergency, but the Biden administration has shifted blame and provided limited aid so far.
