The mayor delivered his harshest criticism of the president yet for failing to help defray what is expected to be a multibillion-dollar initiative to house and help migrants.
Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.About a year into the migrant crisis, Mayor Eric Adams took direct aim at President Joe Biden, saying the federal government needs to provide the city with greater financial aid to address a surge of immigrants at the southern border escaping violence and poverty.
In similar blunt terms, he later added: “The president and the White House has failed New York City on this issue.” Since last spring, more than 50,000 migrants have been bussed to New York City from border states, according to the city’s estimates. Of that figure, more than 34,000 are currently receiving help from the city.
The mayor says he called for greater cuts to city agencies as a result of the crisis. Adams' critics have said he has been scapegoating migrants and insist that the city has funds available to properly respond to the crisis.
