NYC declares state of emergency over migrants

New York City's mayor has declared a state of emergency over the thousands of migrants being sent from southern Border States. Mayor Eric Adams said Friday that the demand being put on the city to provide housing and other assistance is "not sustainable."

He says by the end of its fiscal year, the city expected to spend $1 billion helping the new arrivals. Adams called for state and federal financial aid, federal legislation that would allow asylum seekers to legally work sooner, and federal plans to fairly distribute asylum seekers throughout the country.
