As New York City’s Mayor Eric Adams continues his calls for federal assistance to house immigrants in New York City, saying that shelters are overwhelmed, some immigrants are being moved to the Hudson Valley for better room and board accommodations. Once in the United States, immigrants try getting employment, but the path to citizenship is difficult.
