NextImg:Mayor Adams warns migrant crisis will ‘destroy’ NYC during town hall

Mayor Eric Adams believes the raging migrant crisis will destroy New York City, saying he doesn’t see an end in sight as the city received over 110,000 migrants since last year.

“I’m gonna tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this.” Adams said at a town hall on the Upper West Side Wednesday night. “This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City.”

During his opening remarks, Hizzoner boasted about the accomplishments his administration has accomplished in the 20 months since taking office, but they are all overshadowed by the mass influx of undocumented immigrants.

“Go item for item on what Eric Adams ran for as a candidate and look at what we accomplished in 20 months we turned this city around in 20 months and then what happened?” Adams asked.

“Started with a madman down in Texas who decided he wanted to bus people up to New York City,” referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who bussed illegal border crossers to New York and other liberal cities beginning in April 2022.

The first migrant-filled bus from Texas arrived at Midtown’s Port Authority on Aug. 5, 2022, and thousands more in the rest of the five boroughs in the following months.

“110,000 migrants we have to feed, clothe, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets, give them everything they need, health care,” Adams said.

Texas has sent over 13,000 migrants to New York, according to data shared by Abbott earlier this week.

A large majority of New Yorkers share the mayor's feelings on the crisis as 82% say it is a serious problem for the city while 58% want to stop the flow from the southern border.

“Month after month I stood up and said this is gonna come to a neighborhood near you. Well, we’re here, we’re getting no support on this national crisis, and we’re receiving no support,” Adams remarked in an apparent dig at President Joe Biden.

The mayor said the Big Apple receives around 10,000 migrants a month, at first from Venezuela but then Ecuadorian nationals and Russian-speaking individuals came up from Mexico as time went on.

“Now we’re getting Western Africa, now we’re getting people from all over the globe that made their minds up that they’re gonna come through the southern border and coming to New York City,” Adams added.

The financial cost alone has reverberated throughout the city as the government is spending millions to house the migrants.

The Department of Homeless has given $35 million to two NYC hotels to house migrants.

“Everyone is saying it is New York City’s problem. Every community in this city is going to be impacted. We have a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut. Every service in this city is going to be impacted, all of us,” Adams said.
