"Former NY Gov. Paterson warns of 'revolt' over migrant crisis as NYC seeks federal permission to house migrants"

Former New York Governor David Paterson warned of a potential "revolt" by US cities against the federal government over the migrant crisis, criticizing the Biden administration's handling of the issue. Paterson expressed concern that other cities may face similar problems as New York City and suggested that a city versus country revolt might be necessary. He emphasized the need for the federal government to address the crisis with a well-thought-out plan and adequate funding. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has also pleaded for federal aid as the number of migrants in city shelters is expected to double by 2024, with an estimated cost of $12 billion over three years.
