NYC mayor Eric Adams, NY Governor praise Biden for granting work permits for half a million migrants

by

The federal government is clearing the way for a large number of New York City’s asylum seekers to live and work in the country legally.

President Joe Biden is granting temporary legal status to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who are already in the country.

It is a game changer and something Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have asked the federal government to do for months.

Officials estimate about 40% of the migrants in New York right now are Venezuelan.
