More than 100 business executives - representing almost every sector of New York's economy - are throwing their weight behind Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams in begging for help.
"Bipartisan action by Congress and the Administration is ultimately the way to resolve immigration issues, but that will take time," the business leaders said."In the interim, we urge you to take immediate action to better control the border and the process of asylum and provide relief to the cities and states that are bearing the burdens posed by the influx of asylum seekers."
Mayorkas pointedly told Adams and Hochul that the agency has identified 11 federal sites throughout New York state that can house asylum seekers, but that just exacerbated tensions between the two top Democrats.
