New York City Struggles with Migrant Crisis Costing Billions
$49 Million Federal Aid Falls Short City Calls for More Support from State and Federal Levels
According to NEW YORK POST, New York City faces a huge problem with migrants that could cost $10 billion next year but the government only gave $49 million federal aid out of the $150 million they promised. City Budget Director Jacques Jiha says the city needs more than $49 million federal aid from both the state and federal governments because they’ve already spent $4 billion to help over 170,000 asylum seekers since 2022 .

City Leaders Call for More Than $49 Million Federal Aid Funding Amidst Strained Resources and Migrant Crisis
Mayor Eric Adams and other city leaders want more than $49 million federal aid from Washington and Albany to deal with this crisis. Governor Kathy Hochul has promised $4.3 billion to help but it’s still not enough. Councilman Justin Brannan blames House Republicans for not giving more help saying it’s not fair for the city to handle this big problem on its own. Jacques Jiha says the city needs to reduce the number of migrants to ease the financial burden. They’re trying things like limiting how long migrants can stay in shelters to 30 or 60 days but they still need more support from everyone to solve this problem for good.
