New York City plans to distribute fliers at the southern border warning migrants there is “no guarantee” they will receive help if they come there. The BBC reports Adams now is handing out flyers at the Mexican border telling illegal immigrants ‘ We Have No Mo re Room‘. Adams wants is for Americans in the rest of the country to help underwrite the city’s progressive folly. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli last week warned the city could face a $40 billion budget shortfall over the next three years-most of which doesn’t stem from costs of caring for migrants. Meantime, to prevent evictions from soaring rents, the City Council last month voted to expand housing vouchers, which will cost as much as $36 billion over five years. This doesn’t include the cost of food, medical care and social services, which adds another $127 a day per migrant family. Some hotels, like a Holiday Inn Express in Brooklyn, are making upward of $300 a night housing migrants. Naturally, the result will be higher demand and prices for rooms at hotels, including those where the city is paying $256 a night on average to shelter migrant families. The home-sharing site estimates the new “de facto ban” will eliminate 95% of its revenue in the city. How rich considering that city regulations set to take effect next month will effectively prohibit New Yorkers from renting out their apartments on Airbnb. Adams recently floated the idea of sheltering migrants in private homes. “We need every New Yorker that has something to offer to play a role.”Īpparently, paying the nation’s highest taxes isn’t enough. This is the job of the people of the city of New York,” he said last week. As New York politicians do, he’s begging the feds and ordinary city-dwellers to open their wallets. Mayor Eric Adams last week groused that local hotels and shelters are overrun with migrants whose care will cost the city about $5 billion this fiscal year. Adams later said in a statement: “It is in the best interest of everyone, including those seeking to come to the United States, to be upfront that New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border.”Īlso consider Eric Adams and the Se l f-Imposed Crisis of a Sanctuary City He specifically asked for language that would ease the city’s obligations if it “lacks the resources and capacity to establish and maintain sufficient shelter sites, staffing, and security to provide safe and appropriate shelter.” Mr. Adams petitioned a state judge to modify the city’s right-to-shelter obligations under the 1981 consent decree in Callahan v. don’t have a right to shelter-anything like New York’s-New York has the much larger migrant crisis,” says Stephen Eide, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. The city has at least 176 emergency shelters in such places as school gyms and churches, and the number keeps growing. It delivers a “range of legal, medical, and reconnection services, as well as placement, if needed, in a shelter or humanitarian relief center,” according to a city press release. Most of its occupants are families, but it functions mainly as an intake center for new arrivals. On May 13, Mayor Eric Adams deemed the Roosevelt an arrival center for migrants. More than 81,000 migrants have come to New York from the southern border since last spring. The Wall Street Journal explains Why New Y ork Is a Magnet for Migrants After having rolled out the welcome mat, New York City Mayor Eric Adams now tells illegal immigrants to look elsewhere.
