New York City officials are continuing their demands that the Biden administration and Gov. Kathy Hochul do more to help with the city’s migrant crisis.

A New York City committee hearing, officially titled The Experience of Black Migrants in New York City, was held on Tuesday to address the migrant crisis currently plaguing the city, specifically in regards to the high influx of Africans arriving and in need of housing and other government services. The hours-long hearing was also rife with accusations that African migrants are given worse treatment than their Spanish-speaking counterparts.

“[African migrants] may face increased scrutiny, xenophobia, and racism just by nature of being a black immigrant,” said New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams on Tuesday, as he called for equitable treatment for all migrants. He added that he wanted “to push for the White House to do more and Gov. Hochul to do more, because they are not.”

“New York City cannot handle this by themselves” he continued.
