The city had taken over 103 hotels as emergency shelters. More than 14,000 migrant children had been enrolled in public schools., calling it “one of the largest humanitarian crises that this city has ever experienced, “ Adams said that that cost of assisting the new arrivals  had soared to $4.0 billion over two eyars, forcing him to make across the-board budget cuts in other city services. “the president and the white house have failed New York city on this issue, “ the mayor said, taking direct aim a U.S. President Joe Biden even though, as the democratic mayor of the largest city in the county , Adams was supposed to be one of his staunchest allies. – Reproduced
