This is how New York faces its immigration crisis
“Right now, we have a migration crisis and a labor crisis. By connecting employable people to jobs and opportunities in New York, we can solve both and ensure a better future for all New Yorkers,” he stated.
Hochul and New York Mayor Eric Adams viewed Biden’s announcement to give work permits to Venezuelans as a huge relief, after months of intense intrigue with the White House demanding economic aid and work permits for immigrants to whom that the city provides shelter, meals and other assistance.
Adams has said the non-stop flow of immigrants “is going to destroy New York” and estimates that by next year the deficit he will face will be $12 billion, which will force him to reduce the services provided to the communities of the five boroughs.
According to data provided by Hochul, most jobs are concentrated in the city, where there are reportedly 9,801 available, followed by the Hudson Valley area, in the north of the state, with 2,896 and 1,294 on Long Island.
