Mayor Eric Adams, Governor Kathy Hochul, and President Joe Biden have recently been at odds over the handling of the New York migrant crisis. This as Mayor Adams is heading on a 4-day trip to Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia to “learn more” about the root causes of the situation. In night one of a two-night special report, we discuss the impact that the arrival of over 100,000 migrants has had on the city’s resources and neighborhoods, and how much will this end up costing taxpayers. Joining MetroFocus to discuss the issues are: CeFaan Kim, a reporter for WABC-TV New York; Rommel Ojeda, a community correspondent for Documented; Joe Germanotta, performer Lady Gaga’s father who is an Upper West Side resident and small business owner of Joanne Trattoria; and Ilze Thielmann, the director of the nonprofit organization Team TLC NYC, which assists migrants and asylum seekers in New York.
