New York fundraisers told NBC News that dissatisfaction with the president’s handling of the migrant issue was a recurring issue.
temporary protected status to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan migrants who crossed the border without legal documentation came after heavy lobbying from New York’s top Democratic officials, particularly Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul.
“Hearing from donors at his fundraisers about how much damage was being inflicted on the city and state budgets as a result of the failure of the federal government to act, the humanitarian issues associated with people being in a federal process for years without being able to work and support themselves, I think that had to be pretty compelling,” Wylde said.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said the decision on migrants was “based on extraordinary and temporary conditions in Venezuela that prevent their nationals from returning in safety.” Two sources involved in fundraisers during Biden’s visit said the reluctance was pervasive enough that the Biden campaign distributed a list of talking points on the administration’s migrant policies to event organizers to use in conversations with donors. A third person not involved in the fundraisers also shared the talking points.
The three sources also described phone conversations between donors in recent weeks during which they discussed withholding their contributions as a strategy to get the Biden administration to use the powers it has to put migrants to work more quickly. “The campaign has been told by the people who are major donors in the New York area that this is a problem for fundraising efforts,” the Democrat organizer said. “The immigration problem in New York City is impacting the ability to raise money in this quarter.”said the recent influx in migrants is a “serious problem.”
