"New Yorkers are working together to welcome asylum seekers and provide the necessary shelter and resources for these individuals who are simply coming to our state looking for a better life," Governor Hochul said.

New York City is preparing for an expected increase in migrant arrivals now that Title 42 has expired on the border. Mayor Adams' plans to help alleviate pressure on the city's shelter system by sending migrants to hotels in Rockland and Orange Counties has drawn strong pushback from local officials in those two counties.
Since last year, the Mayor's Office says that New York City has seen more than 60,000 migrants arrive and cares for over 37,000 of them. Adams has said that the cost of caring for the migrants is likely to cost the city over $4B over the next two years. that I have read and agree
