Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) asked President Joe Biden on Thursday to provide federal resources to New York amid the migrant crisis facing the city.

In a letter, Hochul requested the federal government help provide funding for education, transportation, healthcare, and housing assistance for more than 100,000 asylum-seekers who have flocked to the city since last spring.

"For over a year, I have called for federal assistance and support for New York as we manage the unprecedented number of asylum-seekers arriving in our state," Hochul said in a statement. "New York cannot continue to do this on its own. It is past time for President Biden to take action and provide New York with the aid needed to continue managing this ongoing crisis."

The governor claimed part of the costs associated with the crisis were all the necessities the city and state had to provide, including transportation, food, and lodging. Hochul said the only thing stopping the immigrants in New York City from getting work was red tape from the federal government, which has fallen behind on approving work authorizations.

"Asylum seekers are looking for jobs, and employers are looking for workers — all that's missing is the legal work status to make that a reality," Hochul said in a series of posts on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. "The federal government must expedite work authorizations so that people can immediately begin working."

Hochul also requested reimbursement for supplying nearly 2,000 national guardsmen to the city and access to federal facilities in the state to house the immigrants.

The governor's call for aid comes after New York City Mayor Eric Adams predicted the price of the migrant crisis in the city could reach $12 billion by 2025 if the flow of immigrants remains the same. Hochul did not provide a price tag in her request, but the state has provided more than $1.5 billion to the city so far and could be required to pay another $4.5 billion next year, based on current estimates.

"Without any capacity or responsibility to address the cause of the migrant influx, New Yorkers cannot then shoulder these costs," Hochul wrote. "I cannot ask New Yorkers to pay for what is fundamentally a federal responsibility and I urge the federal government to take prompt and significant action today to meet its obligation to New York State."

The federal government has contributed $145 million in direct funding to New York's migrant crisis and approved lodging for asylum-seekers at Floyd Bennett Field on Monday.
