Angry NYC Dems stage rally vs. Biden, rip him for being ‘asleep at wheel’ on migrant crisis
Story by Jack Morphet, Nolan Hicks • Monday
Furious Democratic pols rallied outside City Hall on Monday against President Biden, blasting him for being “asleep at the wheel’’ on a migrant crisis that is now forcing asylum-seekers to sleep on sidewalks.
“In the words of a famous singing duo, Simon and Garfunkel, who grew up in my district, to the tune of Mrs. Robinson — ‘Where have you gone, President Joe Biden? New York City turns its lonely eyes to you,’ ” said City Councilwoman Lynn Shulman (D-Queens). “Please help us Mr President.”
The protest came as local anger mounts over the Democratic White House announcing last week it would provide relief in the form of a single staffer to try to better coordinate the federal response with City Hall.
The paltry offer comes after a year of requests from Mayor Eric Adams and other top officials for billions of dollars in desperately needed aid, as well as a speedier process to get the recent arrivals work permits.
“The president’s asleep at the wheel on this one, folks, and I’m a Democrat,” said city Councilman Robert Holden of Queens.
