New York Mayor Eric Adams has issued a fresh warning about the illegal immigration crisis gripping the Big Apple, saying that the “cold reality” is that federal help to deal with the influx isn’t coming anytime soon and cities have to bear the burden alone.

“We did not walk out from D.C. with any level of optimism that anything is going to drastically change,” Mr. Adams said at a Dec. 8 press conference in New York City, a day after returning from the nation’s capital, where he asked for help with funding for the throngs of asylum-seekers that have flooded New York City.
