AOC Questions Biden's Handling of NYC Migrant Crisis, Urges Review of Adams' Budget Cuts

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez agrees with Mayor Eric Adams that President Biden needs to do more to address the migrant crisis in New York City but questions the need for budget cuts to essential municipal services. Ocasio-Cortez believes that the federal government has not allocated enough resources for shelters and services in cities like New York and Chicago. While she agrees with Adams on the lack of federal support, she wants to "check the math" on the proposed budget cuts and believes further analysis is needed. Adams' plan includes significant reductions in funding for various city departments, including the NYPD, sanitation department, FDNY, and Department of Education. Ocasio-Cortez argues that slashing essential services is not the solution and suggests exploring revenue raises instead.
