Will Mayor Adams’ calls for help on migrants get answered?

Off Topic/On Politics

New York City is currently spending $9.8 million per day on the migrant crisis, according to Mayor Eric Adams. At a press conference this week, Adams announced that nearly 100,000 migrants have arrived in the city since spring 2022, and more than 57,000 remain in the city's care. He stated once again that the city is long past its breaking point and called on the Biden administration to declare a state of emergency. NY1 political reporters Bobby Cuza and Kelly Mena, and Mornings On 1 anchor Pat Kiernan, discuss the situation, and whether the federal government will come to the city’s aid. The team also breaks down a lengthy profile of the mayor in this week’s New Yorker magazine. They also look at his tricky relationship with the press and how some of his actions have been perceived by the media. Finally, they talk about whether anyone will challenge Adams when he seeks reelection.
