While hosting a question-and-answer with the media at City Hall on Jan. 18, New York City Mayor Eric Adams urged President Joe Biden to appoint a border czar and send taxpayer dollars to help the city deal with an influx of illegal aliens.

Adams made the request even though in March of 2020, President Biden appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to serve as the point person for the administration in matters involving the southern border.
