Schumer Pushes White House on Migrant Work Permits and Federal Aid Amid Criticism Over Response to NYC Asylum Crisis

Schumer insists he is pressuring the White House to speed up migrant work permits and provide more federal aid to NYC for the asylum crisis.
Some New Yorkers claim Schumer and Rep. Jeffries have been "lazy" and "invisible" on addressing the migrant issue.
Schumer says he's delivered funds and is still fighting for more, and has pushed for accelerated work permits.
Jeffries did not respond to requests for comment on the criticisms.
Schumer helped the city secure $104 million in FEMA grants, but some say more federal aid is needed given the projected $12B 3-year cost.
