New York City officials are slamming President Joe Biden for his handling of the migrant crisis, which has swarmed the city and could have drastic effects on local elections.
Local leaders claimed there were three people responsible for the influx of more than 100,000 immigrants since last spring; Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Gov. Kathy Hochul , and the president."There are three people that bear the brunt of responsibility for this problem. One lives at Pennsylvania Avenue down in Washington.
The voting power comes from a city law that was passed in 2021. It allows noncitizens to vote locally if they legally have a job and have been a resident of the city for more than 30 days. Adams and Hochul have both attempted to put pressure on the federal government to send more aid to New York City, and Adams is also seeking additional state resources. Adams has predicted the migrant crisis will cost the city $12 billion by 2025 if the flow of immigrants remains the same. The city is currently seeing an influx of 10,000 immigrants every month, which it needs to provide housing and resources for, according to state law.
