Mayor Adams urges New Yorkers to go to Washington and complain about migrant crisis, budget – New York Daily News
Mayor Adams called on New Yorkers to go to Washington, D.C., to voice concern about the citys migrant crisis and budget cuts hes blamed on the influx of new arrivals.
The heart and soul of who we are as Americans is to go to our center of government and raise our voices when we believe government is not responding accordingly, he said Tuesday at a City Hall press conference. Im not pushing this off on New Yorkers. Im saying to New Yorkers: Youre angry and Im angry and the source of our discontent lies in Washington, D.C.
Adams statement came less than two weeks after a poll showed his popularity has declined steeply amid budget cuts and no end in sight to more migrants flowing into the five boroughs.
Since shortly after Adams took office,more than 150,000 asylum seekers have streamed into the city, pushing agencies to their limit.
Adams and top officials in his administration have demanded both the federal and state governments provide more help and the mayor has repeatedly called on his fellow elected officials to lobby President Biden and federal lawmakers for help him toward that end.
On Tuesday, Adams extended that call to everyday New Yorkers. How willing they are to take him up on it is unclear, though.
Caring for the migrants has significantly hit the city in the pocketbook. The mayor has estimated that managing the crisis will cost the city $12 billion by the end of fiscal year 2025, leading to budget cuts to essential services like the NYPD, the Sanitation Department and libraries.
The situation has begun to seriously cut into his polling numbers. A Quinnipiac University survey put out on Dec. 6 showed that Adams approval rating hit an all-time low of 28%.
On Tuesday, he brushed aside the idea that hes foisting responsibility for the migrant crisis on ordinary New Yorkers.
Say to the national government, This is not fair, whats happening to New York City,' he said. It is my role to educate them. This is who is responsible for what were seeing in the city of New York.
