The Democratic mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and New York say they are ready to travel to meet President Joe Biden next week as they press for $5 billion in funding to help cope with the surge in migrants arriving in their cities.
In a letter released Wednesday, they say they are having to get by with little help from his administration. Such is the urgency, that they are proposing to travel to Washington, D.C., for a crisis meeting within days.
With fewer available work authorizations, these migrants cannot find work that would allow them to get into proper housing.
