Mayor Adams Urges Action on NYC's Migrant Crisis and Budget Cuts

New York City Mayor Eric Adams warns residents that they cannot prevent migrants from sleeping on the streets as the city grapples with an escalating migrant crisis. Adams reveals that over 140,000 migrants have arrived in the city since last year, with thousands more arriving each week. Despite budget cuts in various departments, the visible signs of the crisis are becoming increasingly apparent. Adams blames the federal government for abandoning the city and demands that they take responsibility for the national problem. The city has called for more funding and a "decompression strategy" to address the situation. The mayor's office has announced cuts across government agencies, including the police force and education, due to the significant costs incurred by the migrant crisis.
