According to a report from The Daily Wire, Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams and Empire State Governor Kathy Hochul are pointing fingers over who’s to blame for the state of the city in the wake of record-breaking migrant arrivals.

Attorneys for Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul sent a letter to attorneys for New York City on Tuesday addressing a letter the city sent the state last week with a list of requests, according to The New York Times, which obtained a copy of the letter. The city’s Democratic mayor, Eric Adams, has grown outspoken about the lack of help he says the city has received to care for tens of thousands of immigrants.

Adams has directed most of his intraparty criticism at President Joe Biden and the White House. The Democratic mayor has also leaned on Hochul for aid and the state government for action in regards to the burgeoning humanitarian crisis in New York City as more immigrants arrive.

Hochul’s administration lashed out at Adams in the letter sent Tuesday, blaming the city for lapses in working with the state and for failing to follow through on requests. The letter also faulted the city for not taking full advantage of aid already offered to the city.

“In some instances, the City has failed to accept the State’s offers of assistance or recommendations for State facilities. The City has not made timely requests for regulatory changes, has not always promptly shared necessary information with the State, has not implemented programs in a timely manner, and has not consulted the State before taking certain actions,” the letter states.

“While Governor Hochul and [Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance acting commissioner Barbara Guinn] appreciate Mayor Adams’s public acknowledgement of the State’s significant role in the crisis response, the City can and should do more to act in a proactive and collaborative manner with the State,” it chided.

Adams is doing his best to downplay the tension, telling media outlets “People want to see the governor and I fight. That’s not going to happen,” he said. “I like her. She likes me. And the things that we can learn from each other we are going to do together.”

Nearly 100,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022 as of early August.
