Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday expressed confidence that Gov. Kathy Hochul will give the Big Apple sufficient help with managing the migrant crisis in 2024, on the heels of the governor barely mentioning the influx in her State of the State address this week.
During the hour-long Tuesday speech, where the governor laid out her policy agenda for the coming year, she only once mentioned the migrant influx, which has seen over 160,000 newcomers flow into the five boroughs over nearly two years. She only brought up the crisis to note that she would detail how she plans to address it during her executive budget rollout next week.
