New York NOW

The State of Immigration in New York

Listen Later
On this week's edition of New York NOW (7/21/2023):
  • Thousands of migrants seeking asylum have traveled to New York over the past few years in an effort to restart their lives.
  • But that influx has overwhelmed officials in New York City and state government, who've struggled to house and provide basic necessities for those migrants.
  • We'll give you a full explainer on the state's role in immigration, and what makes asylum seekers different than refugees and other immigrants.
  • Then, Dr. Dina Refki from the SUNY Institute on Immigrant Integration Research and Policy and Murad Awawdeh from the New York Immigration Coalition join us with their take on immigration in New York today, including how the influx of asylum seekers has been handled.
