New York City Mayor Eric Adams, in his State of the City address on Wednesday, expressed strong support for using city resources to help illegal immigrants, even amid a rising public outcry over the disruption of New Yorkers’ daily lives. The mayor sees a role for the federal government in this effort to help migrants adjust and assimilate.
Throughout the hour-long speech at Hostos College in the Bronx, Mayor Adams, who in the past has publicly complained about the Biden administration’s failure to take effective action, called the situation a crisis but stopped well short of calling for tougher enforcement of immigration laws.
