Sen. Chuck Schumer insists he is pressuring the White House to speed up migrant work permits and boost federal aid to combat the Big Apple’s asylum-seeker crisis — as some fed-up New Yorkers claim the top pol and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries have been nearly “invisible” on the issue.

“The record is very clear that I have been working at the highest levels, delivering funds for New York and am still fighting for more,” Schumer, the 72-year-old Senate majority leader from New York, said in a statement to The Post on Sunday.

“I’ve publicly pushed the administration to accelerate and expand work authorization so that immigrants can support themselves and have repeatedly communicated this to the White House as recent as this past week,” the Democrat added.

But some constituent critics have argued that both Schumer and Jeffries (D-NY), the House minority leader, are failing them as tens of thousands of asylum seekers continue to pour in and overwhelm the city’s already struggling shelter system.

“They need to step up,” said Ronald Rose, a 67-year-old retiree from Brooklyn. “Jeffries and Schumer should help with work permits and federal money. They can do something. They can do a lot.”

Matt Ross, a 34-year-old sculptor, chimed in, “It’s such a loaded issue, silence is compliance — like not doing anything.

“To me, that’s like they are negligent,” he continued. “They’re not taking any accountability. They’re not doing [their] job. It’s ridiculous.”

Jeffries did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

But Schumer insisted he hadn’t been silent on the growing crisis, pointing to an appearance at the State Fair in Syracuse last month, when he vowed that streamlining the process to allow migrants to get jobs quicker was his top priority.

He also helped the city secure $104.6 million in grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in June to cover migrant expenses.

But some critics say that money is a drop in the bucket compared to the $12 billion that New York City Mayor Eric Adams predicts the crisis will cost the Big Apple over the next three years.

“It’s an absolute disaster. Schumer is a disgrace,” said Mike, a 35-year-old Manhattan worker, who only gave his first name. “Migrants get everything. New Yorkers are getting hosed every day, day in and day out. I think it’s a shame. He’s doing an injustice to the people of New York, a real injustice.”

Frank Cresci, 60, a Manhattan-based accountant, questioned why Congress in general couldn’t just get its act together.

“I don’t know why Congress can’t get together with a coherent plan one way or the other, either have closed borders or tighten up the controls that we already have in place,” he said. “They can’t come up with a consensus.”

A 35-year-old, who only gave her first name, Holly, said, “I don’t know why Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer have been quiet on these issues, but it’s horrible.

“Give these migrants jobs so that they are not stuck doing nothing all day.”

Stacie Fishman, a 43-year-old consultant, added that allowing migrants to get work permits faster would help with the perception that they’re draining the city’s resources, arguing: “These people need work.”

Still, it wasn’t just locals piling on. GOP lawmakers were quick to accuse their Democratic counterparts of being silent, too.

“We have heard nothing but crickets from the Senate and its leadership,” said City Councilman Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island). “For someone who enjoys the cameras, it’s odd that Sen. Schumer is now hiding from them when it comes to the migrant crisis.”

House GOP Chairwoman Elise Stefanik of upstate New York said, “Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have failed New Yorkers as they do nothing to stop the illegal immigration crisis nor take accountability for their own support of radical policies such as sanctuary cities that only incentivize more illegal immigration.

“It’s their own open border policies that have caused our borders to see an unprecedented and historic surge in illegal immigration.”

More than 110,000 migrants have poured into the Big Apple since spring last year, with the city shouldering the majority of the costs to house, feed and educate them.

While Mayor Adams has repeatedly ripped President Biden for ignoring his pleas for help, he staunchly defended Schumer and Jeffries on Saturday over criticism — saying the pair were working hard behind the scenes to battle the crisis.

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

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