The mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York are pressing to meet with President Joe Biden about getting federal help in managing the surge of migrants they say are arriving in their cities with little to no coordination, support or resources from his administration. The Democratic leaders said in a recent letter that while they appreciate Biden’s efforts so far, much more needed to be done to ease the burden on their cities. Migrants are sleeping in police station foyers in Chicago. In New York, a cruise ship terminal was turned into a shelter. In Denver,...
