President Joe Biden met with a series of world leaders this week, but he never made it to city hall.
Biden returned Wednesday night from New York City, where he attended the General Assembly of the United Nations, made speeches, and attended fundraisers with well-heeled Democratic donors.He did not meet with New York Mayor Eric Adams, who became a Biden critic as more than 110,000 immigrants arrived in his city over the last 18 months.
The White House has so far resisted calls to speed up work permits, reportedly over concerns about lawsuits and the likelihood of such a move to draw more immigrants to the border. The White House did not respond to a request for comment, but press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to a press briefing question from the Washington Examiner by stressing that the Biden administration was in touch with Adams.
The harshest comments from Adams came earlier this month when he described illegal immigration as an existential crisis for his city.
