New York Gov. Kathy Hochul urged Biden to take executive action to expedite work authorizations for asylum seekers . She and New York City Mayor Eric Adams have been sounding the alarm for expedited work authorization for migrants and additional federal funds to manage the crisis since July . The White House says without congressional action the administration is limited in what it can do . The administration expects over million of that support to be made available in the coming weeks . Immigrant advocates argue that the Biden administration should expand the number of Venezuelans who make up many of the migrant arrivals in New York eligible for a form of humanitarianrelief known as Temporary Protected Status . The situation has also caused a divide between HochUL and the Adams administrations with the mayor having previously asked for migrants to be sent to other municipalities throughout the state not just stay in the state . The state must fulfil its duty to more than million of the states residents who call New York city home. The state has been steadfastly refused to use her own executive powers to force other counties to take in asylum seekers citing the ongoing legal law which has been an ongoing legal back-and-forth between the City of New York and other counties which is an agreement that does not apply to the city and the state. This is not an agreement with the city. The city does not agree to use an agreement. The mayor said the state does not want to use the legal back back-to-back-forth. The State is working with the back-forth and will not apply back-up-and forth. The City has been refusing to use back-out-andforth. It does not intend to force back-through-forth . The State will not agree back-off-forth
