"New York's Migrant Crisis: Calls for Bold Action"

The Biden administration is concerned that New York City is not adequately addressing its migrant problem, as a federal assessment found deficiencies in the city's handling of over 100,000 migrants who have arrived in the past year. Officials say the city lacks an exit strategy for migrants in its shelter system, potentially overshadowing the administration's immigration accomplishments. New York City Mayor Eric Adams acknowledges the difficulty in coping with the increasing number of migrants, calling it an issue that could "destroy" the city. The city argues that the federal government should take more meaningful action, while federal and city officials are working on collaboration efforts, including providing information to migrants on work authorization and asylum claims.
