New York City's struggle to care for about 110,000 migrants who have arrived in the city since last year is having political repercussions for President Joe Biden, more than 200 miles away in Washington, D.C.
But the political ramifications for Biden are not only emanating from New York City, but also other Democratic-run cities, including Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia, before next year's election.What is unfolding in New York City regarding migrants is"a prime example of what happens when you combine bad local policies with poor enforcement of federal immigration laws," according to Republican strategist Lanhee Chen.
While the White House cites legal constraints concerning its response, Republican governors, from Govs. Greg Abbott to Ron DeSantis , sending migrants to the likes of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, has exacerbated a situation in which more people then travel to where their family and friends have been bused or flown.
"For over a generation, Congress has failed to enact comprehensive immigration reform, like the 2013 Border Security and Immigration Modernization Act that passed the Senate by a wide bipartisan margin," he added."Then-House Speaker John Boehner failed to bring it to the House floor for a vote. It should be revisited by the current Congress."

The deal appeared to mark a resolution in the city's battle to rid the publicly-owned green of its association with the former president. A previous effort to scrap the contract with the Trump Organization following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the capitol was rejected by a judge. Inquiries to the Trump Organization and Bally's were not returned. The terms of the lease transfer weren't immediately available
