Mayor Adams of NYC Criticizes Gov. Hochul’s Migrant Policy as ‘Incorrect’
The article discusses the ongoing battle between New York City Mayor Eric Adams and New York Governor Kathy Hochul regarding the transportation of illegal migrants. Adams disagrees with Hochul’s call for New York City to stop moving illegal migrants to other parts of the state. Upstate New Yorkers have criticized Hochul for the busing of migrants out of the city and have urged New York City to keep and house them instead. Adams had called on Hochul to prevent communities from blocking the transportation of migrants to their areas, but Hochul argued that the right to shelter mandate of New York City only applies to the city, not the other counties in the state. The situation has caused tension among sanctuary city, state, and national Democrats as New York City struggles to accommodate over 100,000 illegal migrants.
