New York City, where nearly 200,000 migrants have arrived seeking assistance since mid-2022, has spent more than $5 billion responding to the Biden border crisis.

The city has housed, fed, and clothed upward of 212,000 migrants who entered the United States illegally by crossing the southern border, making it the hardest-hit city nationwide as migrants look to resettle in a welcoming place while they navigate immigration court proceedings that are years down the road.
