With the growing financial toll of providing for over 100,000 illegal immigrants, New York City mayor Eric Adams said agencies will need to cut expenses, with some departments facing cuts of up to 15 percent.

“While our compassion is limitless, our resources are not,” Mayor Eric Adams said during a recorded address on Saturday. “We have not received substantial support from the federal or state governments to handle those costs or change the course of this crisis.”

“The simple truth is that longtime New Yorkers and asylum seekers will feel these potential cuts and they will hurt,” Adams warned.

Amid declining city revenues and a projected $12 billion migrant-related tab the Big Apple has been forced to pay in recent years, Adams is demanding municipal agencies trim as much as 5 percent of their upcoming three budgets, the first of which will be publicized in November.

In recent months, the mayor has become increasingly vocal that New York City’s problems have been exacerbated by the failure of the Biden administration and federal agencies to proactively address the migrant crisis. “I want to be clear: these tough decisions are a direct result of inaction in Washington and in Albany,” Adams added during his remarks, which were released on YouTube.

“But the die is not yet cast, and we can still avoid these cuts if Washington and Albany do their part by paying their fair share, and coming up with a decompression strategy that reduces the pressure on New York City, so we are not forced to manage this crisis almost entirely on our own. ”

“Since the large influx of asylum-seekers to our city began last spring, we have warned New Yorkers that every city service could be impacted by this crisis if we did not get the support we needed.”

Although Adams has insisted that such budget cuts will not translate to job losses, one source familiar with the situation told the New York Post, that such thinking is farcical. “There’s no scenario of a 5 percent cut at every agency without layoffs,” the individual said. “It will mean dirtier streets and crime could go up.”

City councilors weighed in and voiced their frustration. “Oh, my God! I don’t think any agency could take a 5 percent cut,” Gale Brewer, a Democratic representing Manhattan, reflected. “It would be detrimental to quality of life — no question.”

“We’re talking about programs that support essential workers, social workers, housing, health care. I don’t know if you could do it without layoffs.”

Across the aisle, David Carr, a Republican representative from Staten Island, insisted such budget cuts demonstrate the shortcomings of “carte blanche” asylum-seeking policies the city had long-embraced. “This is going to hurt services and new hires,” Carr told the Post. “I hope that everyone who has been in favor of an open-ended commitment to housing migrants as they come are thinking twice about that.”

New York City has opened over 200 emergency shelters to accommodate the influx of illegal migrants, the continued strain of which has prompted Adams to request city agencies incorporate cost-saving measures four times already.

“New Yorkers are angry and frustrated, and they are right to be. I am, too,” Adams insisted.
