As more than 100,000 migrants arrived in New York City over the past year after crossing the border from Mexico, Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul have begged President Biden for one thing, above all others, to ease the crisis:
Increasingly impatient leaders of Biden’s party in other cities and states have hammered the same message over the last month, saying the administration must make it easier for migrants to get work authorization quickly, which would allow them to pay for food and housing.
As frustrations have mounted, Hochul has said her office is considering whether the state could offer work permits, though such a move would almost certainly draw legal challenges. The White House has dismissed the idea. In the meantime, migrants unable to get work permits have filled up homeless shelters in several cities.
Republicans have seized on the discord, putting Democrats on the defensive ahead of next year’s presidential elections.
