Mayor Adams staunchly defended Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Saturday, insisting both are working hard behind the scenes to help the Big Apple deal with its migrant crisis. 

“They haven’t been quiet. I’ve been speaking to them on the regular; they’re fighting on behalf of New Yorkers,” said Adams while attending the annual Labor Day Parade in Midtown.

The mayor was responding to questions about a Post editorial Thursday, which accused both Schumer and Jeffries of “pure political cowardice” for remaining silent throughout the crisis and not using their clout to push President Biden to do more to alleviate the mushrooming crisis in the Big Apple.

Adams claimed his longtime allies and fellow Brooklyn Dems helped secure more than $800 million in federal dollars to deal with the crisis nationwide – only to see the city not get enough of the funding.

“They are partners,” he said.

“This is a national crisis, and we’re going to need national leadership to address it. They have been really advocating on behalf of us, so that New York City can get the resources they need.”

Adams has been openly furious with Biden over his failure to provide enough financial support to deal with the more than 110,000 migrants who’ve flooded the five boroughs in a little over a year.

Later Saturday, the mayor announced plans to implement 5% cuts at all city agencies in response to the ever-rocketing costs that have already totaled nearly $1.5 billion.

Adams has said dealing with the new arrivals could end up costing taxpayers up to $12 billion by July 2025.
