Mayor Adams is in Texas getting a first-hand look at the migrant crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border and hoping to gather insight on how to deal with the influx of asylum seekers in New York City. Christinafantv reports.
"This is an issue that is heartbreaking for all of us to see these individuals who traveled so far under such difficult circumstances just in search of the American dream. I told the mayor I'd be continuing to help him. We've been helping him for many months. We'll continue to give him support," said Hochul. "The federal government could solve this problem overnight by allowing people work authorization," said Jack Goldfein, from the Legal Aid Society.
Adams is expected to conclude his trip by late Sunday afternoon and give an update to New Yorkers from El Paso before returning.
