In an opinion piece, the former mayor said it's 'anti-American' to not grant the asylum seekers work authorization.
"To deny immigrants the opportunity to work - and force them to rely on public handouts - is as anti-American as anything I can think of. It is harmful not only to the refugees, but to our country - especially at a time when so many businesses are facing labor shortages," said Bloomberg.
Meanwhile, Adams defended his decision to ask city agencies to prepare painful budget cuts of up to 15% if the state and federal governments don't pony up more money to house, clothe and feed the asylum seekers. , and I must be honest with New Yorkers. I can't sugarcoat this, I can't try to be politically correct. I need to let New Yorkers know what we are facing," said Adams.
It's the very services New Yorkers depend on - police, fire, sanitation and schools - that will be on the chopping block. Adams also said he would have to start moving women and children into barracks, like"mega shelters," a move former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn called"simply unacceptable."
