Mayor Eric Adams, along with 39 other mayors and county executives from across the country, renewed his call for President Biden to grant work authorization to both newly arrived and long-standing undocumented migrants in a Thursday letter to the White House.
The missive, co-authored by big city executives such as Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago and Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston, urges the Biden administration to allow millions of undocumented migrants to work. The letter comes as new arrivals continue to flow into the country and overwhelm many jurisdictions.
