Biden's Lack of Action on Migrant Crisis Puts NYC at Risk

New York City Mayor Eric Adams admitted that he has not spoken to President Joe Biden since 2022, despite previously being considered one of Biden's top surrogates. Adams, who is seeking federal help for the city's migrant crisis, stated that while he supports Biden's reelection, they have not conferred since Biden's visit to New York last year. Adams has been critical of the White House's handling of the asylum-seeker situation, but recently softened his tone and requested assistance from the federal government. The fraying of relations between the two comes as New York City takes on a growing role in the migrant crisis, with Adams estimating that the city could spend up to $12 billion on services for arriving asylum-seekers.
