New York City Mayor Eric Adams expressed his dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden during a press conference on Tuesday, citing inadequate assistance amid the ongoing migrant crisis.
Adams stated that he had made ten trips to Washington D.C., pleading for help, all of which were unsuccessful.
Furthermore, he revealed that he has yet to meet with Biden since last year despite the influx of illegal migrants into his city.
Adams concluded his statement by expressing bafflement over Biden’s lack of action.
“It baffles me. You know, New York City is the economic engine of the state and the country,” the Democratic politician continued.

Adams also commented that New York’s difficulties are not unique, saying, “I am really pleased that we are now getting a chorus of other cities that are joining us, who are now part of our coalition.”
“That coalition is going to continue to grow because these cities deserve better. I’m not only talking about New York. Chicago, Los Angeles, El Paso, Brownsville, you know, all these cities. Houston. You know, cities should not be handling national problems,” the mayor stressed.
“The federal government said to New York City, ‘We’re not going to do our job, you do our job. You take care of 4,000 people a week, Eric, you and your team,’” Adams later said.
“What’s fascinating is that those who should have been helping us in government every step of the way, just critiqued us. I’m not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel from the federal government,” the mayor concluded.
Just two days prior to Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s urgent warning that the “entire country is now at stake” unless the Biden administration provides more resources for migrant management, Adam’s remarks were met with strong criticism from local politicians.
On Wednesday, Fox News reported that the Adams administration is bussing migrants to areas outside of the city, an action which has generated “fury” among local leaders.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus noted a recent occurrence in which two buses with New York City police escorts arrived at an Orange County hotel.
Similarly, Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy expressed dissatisfaction over the lack of advance notification prior to sending busloads of migrants and remarked that it caused “anger” among those affected.
