NYC's Asylum Seeker Influx Overflows, Upstate Counties Struggle to Cope.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is sending migrants seeking asylum to a hotel in Rockland County, New York, which the top county official says is "not equipped to handle" the influx. The move comes as the mayor claims the cost of caring for migrants could climb to $4 billion through fiscal year 2024. Republican officials say the region lacks necessary services for the asylum seekers, while advocates for the migrants call it a "temporary fix." Adams has called for state and federal assistance, including financial aid, a national decompression strategy, expedited work authorization, and real immigration reform.
