Mayor Adams term has been mired by squabbles with White House over migrant influx and border crisis

"Help is not on the way," Adams told reporters after meeting with Biden to discuss the crisis back in December 2023 - and ever since his rhetoric towards the White House has only grown grimmer.

"The national government has turned its back on New York City," he said months later, adding that "every service in this city is going to be impacted by the asylum seeker crisis."

Adams has called Washington's refusal to fork over more cash 'baffling,' explaining how over the course of numerous meetings with the Biden administration he has failed to be given a concrete commitment for greater help.

"I am lost. I am confused on this topic on why we still, almost 20 months later, we're still talking about this issue and it has inundated the city," Adams told Fox 5 in December 2023.
