 In New York, migrants at a city-run shelter grumble that relatives who settled before them refuse to offer a bed. In Chicago, a provider of mental health services to people in the country illegally pivoted to new arrivals sleeping at a police station across the street. In South Florida, some immigrants complained that people who came later get work permits that are out of reach for them across the country. Mayors, governors and others have been forceful advocates for newly arrived migrants seeking shelter and work permits. Their efforts and existing laws have exposed tensions among immigrants who have been in the country for years, even decades, and don't have the same benefits, notably work permits. And some new arrivals feel established immigrants have given them cold shoulders. Thousands of immigrants marched this month in Washington to ask that President Joe Biden extend work authorization to longtime residents as well. Florida, people live in Florida coming and relocating to the Carolinas. My focus has been in newcomers, but in different departments, the focus has been to serve everybody. So we try to keep a balance of doing both. People who have been here for years and people who are just arriving. And so far we have been able to serve everybody. In a way that I almost dare to say discriminatory, the fact that no attention has been given to people who live in this country for 10, 20 or 30 years and are still doing all the work of this country. To us as Mexicans, we don't have much the opportunity to take the papers. It's very difficult. We all have the right to come to this country, to progress a little bit, right? The only problem is that they have arrived and they give their documents quickly. And some of them have been here for years and some of them don't want to give them anything.
