NYC migrant crisis spirals as federal aid lags, shelter costs soar past $12B

Nearly 100,000 migrants have arrived in NYC since spring 2022, overwhelming city resources.
Mayor Adams declared a state of emergency, requested expedited work permits, and federal reimbursements.
Projected costs for housing and services could reach $12 billion by 2025 without additional aid.
New shelters and tent cities are planned, but advocates question the city's handling of the crisis.
Adams continues pressing the Biden administration for comprehensive solutions like border security and immigration reform.
