Mayor Adams met with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Thursday — who promised to send a staffer to the Big Apple to help with its relentless migrant surge, The Post has learned.
The meager offer came in response to Hizzoner pleading for months for federal help in handling the mounting crisis that’s left city shelters brimming with 56,000 migrants in their care.
Adams was joined in Washington, DC, by powerhouse leaders of New York’s delegation, including US Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, for the more than hour-long meeting with Mayorkas.
A source familiar with the Capitol Hill meeting described the New York-based DHS liaison as a way to strengthen “communication” between City Hall and the Biden administration.
“This person would be the bridge,” said the source.
A City Hall spokesperson confirmed Thursday’s meeting in a statement to The Post and said the local leaders had a “productive conversation” with Mayorkas.
“Not only did we discuss the city’s federal funding needs, we also re-emphasized how crucial it is to expedite pathways to work authorization for those who are arriving and are already here,” the spokesperson said.
“Asylum seekers arriving to our country are seeking to build the American Dream, so it’s time we finally give them a shot at it.”
In September, Adams warned that the city was “nearing its breaking point” as migrants flooded in daily from the southern border.
“We are in urgent need of help, and it’s time for our state and federal partners to act — especially those in Congress who refuse to provide the financial resources or issue temporary work authorizations necessary for these individuals to live properly,” he said at the time.

New York Post? I bed $800M that it’s a lie!
I am sick of our Electurds policing EVERYTHING EXCEPT CRIME AND CRIMINALS!
Truth-tellers had their voices silenced, while the liars had their voices amplified. A crime against humanity. Who are the real Fascists now?
The gaslighting by the two of them and their Dem cohorts has been terrible, they are always reframing, & pitting people against each other !
Most are not Asylum seekers !
Build the wall !
This government doesn’t want you to be taught how to think, but to be told what to think. And far too many people are willingly lining up.
He’s got 500 years worth of illegal immigrants and their descyto remove from the city, including himself.
@“Asylum seekers arriving to our country are seeking to build the American Dream, so it’s time we finally give them a shot at it.”
Too late for that. The American Dream was built on slavery and free land. Slavery is rightfully illegal, and no good land left to steal from the natives. The last hope was Unions, but between Ronald Reagan and corruption, they were whittled down to nothing.
Corporations have monopolized everything, including farming, ranching, healthcare, transport, information, housing and food supply.
The next president, whether it's old man Biden, Thieving Trump, Fascist DeSanctimonious, Liar Kennedy, will be owned by the corporations, same as every president before.
Pick and choose your corporation, or vote Cornell West.
Hey, he's got a Fakriot pin on his suit. Are you sure he isn't a Putanist?
Mayorkas is one of the many, many Small Hat People in the Biden administration, the people actually running it. Everything happening is very much on purpose.
Only Donald Trump can save our country now.
Eric was blown off by Biden?
Biden to Adams "Drop Dead, talk to this slug instead".
Get used to it scumbag.
Look at his mug ! Guy looks weird very strange and unusual ...
Only Cornel West can save us now!
Dear NYC we are sending a few more bus loads your way. Please welcome them in your special sanctuary way! Hahaha
Keep voting democrat
New Yorkers should stop voting Democratic.
@"Only Donald Trump can save our country now."
Only Benedict Arnold can save our country now. Or is that the same thing?
Closing the border is such a simple minded solution to this problem. You can add to that, drilling for our own oil and returning this country to its independence.
Anyone heard from the border czar AKA the cacklebird. she’s doing such a great job...
Democrat Communists don't care about you
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders.

Hahahahahahha.. it's what you voted for..lol..hahahahahahah
If it makes your life worse than we ask that you vote Democrat.
Trolling the TDS mentally ill is the best hobby I've ever had .
IT'S ULTRA MAGA TIME TO SAVE AMERICA
This is the same dogshit we saw during the Iraq war.
People are tired of being defined by their party. We are looking for journalists who tell the truth.

As all of this evidence unfolds it is crystal clear that the radical leftists running our country have no conscience nor moral compass which, unfortunately, if they remain in power after 2024 our American democracy and personal liberty will suffer and possibly die. We are truly in a sad state of affairs and only a complete change in leadership can save our country.
Poor old Eric. He's just a low level bureaucrat with a sinecure and the fancy and now meaningless title of Mayor. He has no authority and can't rescind the sanctuary city executive order because the upper echelon bosses of the uniparty won't let him. That's why he gets so snippy with some old lady for yelling at him for his failed policies as his empty title alone is the last pathetic shred of his dignity. Eric is also too low on the managerial food chain to understand that this illegal immigrant crisis is a feature of the program and not a bug.
The managerial elite has to push this from the destabilization phase into the crisis phase before implementing whatever form of governance they have in mind during the normalization phase.

This is a self-created Democrat illegal invasion.
The old lesson : " Don't feed the pigeons. The stray cats. The squirrels. The raccoons. " I guess that lesson didn't reach Gracie Mansion. Oh WAIT ! - he's feeding them in YOUR yard, not HIS ......
Is it my imagination or has Kamala absolutely dodged every single question she’s been asked about the U.S. borders?
Every reform movement has a lunatic fringe.

Every major city in this country is on life support because they're controlled by the Democrat Party.
When are people going to wake the hell up?
What more do you require to change your irresponsible voting habits?
This is what a sane person would call: Failure.
Hey dumb New Yorkers, no pizza, no ice cream!
Only Tacos and Churros will rule!
Have illegals been rebranded as migrants ?
Why not close the border and they can seek asylum in Mexico? Duh.
The misinformation is obvious now.
Libs PANIC as the Migrant Crisis Costs Blue Cities BILLIONS!!!
