The statewide survey by Siena College revealed 83% of New York voters view the migrant crisis as a serious issue, with over half considering it very serious.
Regarding political parties, 77% of Democrats and 95% of Republicans see the influx of migrants as a significant concern.
City shelters in New York are strained as over 119,700 individuals are in care, including 65,300 migrants, with only a fraction of working-age migrants being employed.
The costs associated with accommodating migrants in taxpayer-funded shelters are significant and could reach $10 billion over the upcoming fiscal year.
