A cadre of over 70 pols led by City Council Member Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan) joined Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul in demanding the White House expedite work authorizations for the tens of thousands of migrants in New York City through a letter to President Biden on Tuesday.
The mayor has spent the last couple of months pleading with the White House to take steps he says would immediately allow more migrants in the city to legally work, with the governor joining in with his call at an event late last month.
