The mayor’s reaction reflected his frustration over a crisis that he has increasingly asserted is not the city’s responsibility to fix.
More than 110,000 migrants have arrived in the city over the last year, according to administration officials, straining the shelter system and costing the city billions.
Early on, experts urged city officials to invest more time assisting migrants with the asylum application process. Migrants have only one year to apply for asylum with the federal government, after which they must wait six months before they can be considered for a work permit. And filling out the application is not easy. It consists of 12 pages, all in English, and requires fees of more than $400.
At a briefing earlier this week, city officials said only a small minority of migrants decline the asylum process when asked. They said they did not know how many migrants had already missed their one year deadline to apply. In a call with reporters on Tuesday, a senior Biden administration official claimed a “critical mass” of migrants admitted to the country under a special program are immediately eligible for work permits.
