Adams says Hochul 'wrong' on NYC migrant crisis, urges 'real leadership' to push asylum seekers across state
Fox News
New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized Gov. Kathy Hochul's approach to the migrant crisis, demanding communities across the state help "absorb" asylum seekers.
But Adams also went after his own Democrat governor. Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more. Story tips can be sent to danielle.wallace@fox.com and on Twitter: @danimwallace.
"You think I enjoy displacing children playing soccer on Randall's Island? I don't enjoy disrupting the community in Staten Island. I don't enjoy watching this happen to New York City residents. But we are required to provide basic care," Adams said. "And that's why Governor Hochul has been a partner on subway safety, on crime, on a host of things. But I think this issue, I think the governor's wrong. She's the governor of the State of New York. New York City is in that state. Every county in this state should be part of this. We have 0.05 of the landmass in this state, and we have almost 99% of the migrant asylum seekers."
