Just 2k migrants in NYC have applied to work — with none approved to earn a paycheck
Amere 2,100 migrants in the Big Apple’s care have applied for work permits â with not a single one yet to receive federal approval, city officials admitted Wednesday. Â
City Hall also has no solid figure for how many of the more than 40,000 adult asylum seekers it is housing are even eligible to legally work here, officials conceded at a city council hearing.
The revelation frustrated even Mayor Adams’ fellow Democrats on the council.
“This migrant strategy is going nowhere fast: We have to secure the border,” Council Member Robert Holden (D-Queens) said.
So far, the city’s migrant help center has submitted 444 work applications and another 1,700 were filed with the help of the feds stationed in Lower Manhattan.
None have returned with a federal stamp of approval, officials conceded.
