Two Republican border-state governors who are investing billions of dollars on immigration enforcement and hours at the podium blasting the Biden administration policies have found two unlikely allies: Democratic mayors Muriel Bowser of Washington, D.C., and Eric Adams of New York. The mayors' recent overtures for federal aid is a response to Texas and Arizona busing migrants away from the border, a months-old practice that has been long on political theater and short on practical impact.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced the launch of a student debt relief program for mental health professionals. During a press conference Sunday, Adams said the Behavioral Health Loan Repayment Program was funded by an anonymous $1 million donation and is designed to help attract and retain healthcare providers.

Under the program, New York City health and hospitals will offer psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists and licensed clinical social workers who work three years in the hospital system between $30,000 and $50,000 of debt relief.  Applications for the program begin Monday and run through November 25 and will reopen in January for a second round.
