A new report by advocacy group "One City Rising" takes aim at New York's policies dealing with the migrant crisis and lays out a number of suggestions for how the city can reduce costs and alleviate the burden on the overcrowded shelter system.
Those recommendations include calling for more federal dollars to cover the cost of the crisis, requiring oversight from the city comptroller's office on contracts signed by outside vendors to address the crisis and demanding the private sector play a larger role in ensuring the needs of new arrivals are funded.
Maria Danzilo, executive director of "One City Rising,” joined NY1 political anchor Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” Thursday to talk more about the report.
“Our right to shelter policies are definitely acting as an open door…to come through our southern border,” Danzilo said.
