The Big Apple’s shelter population has now surged to nearly 100,000 – doubling in size since last year — as a never-ending flow of migrants continues to flood into the city amid what has fast become a humanitarian and fiscal crisis.
As of this week, 98,400 people were being housed in city-run shelters — a population roughly equal to the size of Albany, according to City Hall’s latest headcount.
Nearly half of them – 48,700 – are asylum seekers.
In the last month alone, 13,000 migrants have been processed solely at the historic Roosevelt Hotel ever since it was repurposed into an asylum seeker welcome center.
But it’s not just the sheer number of migrants that’s staggering.
It costs roughly $385 a night to put up a migrant family in one of the city’s shelters, officials said – meaning the asylum-seeker crisis is setting taxpayers back about $7.9 million every day.
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, warned the growing crisis will only set taxpayers back even more.
“The problem New York City is facing aren’t really Mayor Adams’s fault,” Krikorian told The Post on Friday.
“It’s Joe Biden’s fault. The root cause of these problems is sitting in the Oval Office.”

Solution: provide zero services. Zero. No shelter, no cash, no healthcare, no schooling, no food. Absolutely nothing, except return passage to their nation of origin. See how fast they disappear.
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer. Thanks to corporate monopolies, corporate politicians, and the corporate branch of the supreme court.
Oh, but wait. Let's have a "war on woke" so the corporations and politicians can continue with their theft while the Sheeple are distracted and entertained by shooting Budweiser cans and deciding if they should be called she/he/it or whatever.
Sad ...
NYC looks like a scene from a third world country.

I’m still waiting for everyone to drop dead from taking those vaccines…,
Maybe Dr NPC_doofus could provide a timeline?
$800M says the NT Post is lying…
Lets get this straight: They aint migrants, these aint pilgrims as the churches claims!
These are locust turned their home country's into toilets, most by refusing birth control and now have broke into this country, criminals, who broke many laws including trespassing in this country. Id say based on what I have boots on the ground seen 1/2 of the males are alcoholics, 1/2 of the females as young as 15 years old remain perpetually pregnant till their uterus falls out or they dies from obesity and diabetes.
What the hell do these people eat? they are all mostly overweight, unhealthy and sure look well fed to me.
90% of these, the adults will be impossible to educate, will never hold a job, learn English just like the people that came here in the 1960s. Those people, their children and grandchildren account for more then 40% of your government tit Section 8s and EBT brat cards today.
Why would these people be any different, actually the are WORSE!
They deserve NOTHING, taxpayers owe them nothing.!
This free for all is going to bankrupt New York and make healthcare impossible, unaffordable unless you hold a multimillionaire's salary have a private doctor and can self insure!
Die in the street next to a trashcan or in a hospital hallway next to a Snickers machine.
How about: "Jose holding a birdcage & bag of 5 cent deposit cans pissing in your doorway asking for "money" "a room" or "birdcage for sale" are two examples.
Dont laugh its happening, ask anybody who lives near a homeless shelter or hotel
Do you want that stupid democrat voters?
Get it straight, forget what your told on TV. The only people happy for this lawless invasion is less than 2% of the country's population. (this as the remaining 98% working stiffs and homeowners will foot the astronomical $$ cost, monitory damage in fallout)
Dont laugh, Its already happening especially around homeless shelters.
Democrats looking for perpetual democrat votes, millionaires looking for cheap domestic help, the church, hotel and restaurant owners.
All with one think in common and whats that?
TWO WORDS "Special interest"-that only benefits themselves.

Lets’ be honest, here. The bulk of those migrants are here because the creeps in TX and FL sent them here cynically.
Half of the approx.78,000 have moved on and this city is now providing bus tickets to places where they originally intended to go.

Hey, for $385 a night, they can stay at my place.
Just remember you got what you voted for!
Some things will never change in NYC the populace won't question democrat rule until their living like cavemen.
More proof the insane have gained control
A very sad clown show.
One more nail in New York City’s coffin.
Eric Adams is the WORST Mayor of New York City. Beyond sad...
Don't forget, grocery prices are half what they were in 1960, all because of Joe.
Adams may not be the originator of open immigration or the brains behind importing all these people here but all he has to do is sign an executive order abolishing the sanctuary city and let ICE deport all the illegals then problem solved.
But he can't because his bosses won't let him. Adams has the title of mayor but really, he's just an apparatchik with no say in, or control over policy.

Now that's some woke equity.
People need to realize Joe Biden and Eric Adams are the same. Stop blaming one or the other. They are both to blame for this situation. Joe can't keep the borders secure and Adams keeps boasting we are a sanctuary city. Keep saying that they will keep coming. They both don't care and both are using Taxpayers money our hard earned money to deal with this nonsense. People if you like the current living conditions keep voting DEMOCRAT otherwise if you want change you need to vote for someone who isn't a democrat.
We the NYC Tax Payer cannot pay for all of this. Everybody with a working brain knows this
NYC paid for 1'000's of plane tickets for migrants to Florida and Texas after Mayor Adams ripped those states for sending them to the once Empire State.
Adams and the other Marxist Dem0rats in New York City have repeatedly accused Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of playing politics by shipping asylum seekers northward but they are doing it too.
Sheeple laughed when Alex Jones broke down this issue 4+yrs ago.
America is at a time when they would welcome a skeptic for President.
RFK Jr is that anti-corruption candidate.
He makes perfect sense and is a truth-seeker.
Sheeple will continue to vote for these Marxist that promise them everything and deliver nothing while blaming others for their failures that's the dem0rat credo.
Never underestimate the stupidity of the DemonRat voters.... FJB
Trump tariffs caused inflation
Am I the only one getting real tired of having a box of assorted crap junk food shoved in my face when sitting on the subway? They were either given that candy & gum by their virtuous zoo keepers or bought it with our tax dollars via the cash cards they're given. Why not give the candy back to us since we already paid for it! Dragging children with them for the sympathy purchase or strapping babies on their backs as they walk through the subway cars and go between the cars to get to the next one is dangerous and child abuse. Why don't the laws apply to the Democrats invaders? What ever happened to ZPG Zero Population Growth? We don't need or want these replacements - send them back to the county they came from asap.
The amounts of money that are being wasted are staggering. Expect not only taxes to go up, but a large cut in City and State Services for the taxpayer to cover up budget shortfalls. It will take NYC many years to recover from this nonsense.
Adams is being duped by Biden and Kamala. He is the only mayor stupid enough not to say no. Why is he so proud to have the highest number of migrants and be so proud to waste taxpayer money ? Why is he so happy to shove 500 hundred more people on another neighborhood and overburden schools without any idea how this affects people already there. We need to know how many of them are going to be denied asylum and why NYC is being forced to support them. And on top of that slapping a congestion tax on working commuters and continuing his hiring of family and friends and paying them extravagant salaries.

Well Rob, while it might be true that Florida and Texas sent them here, nyc is the one who CLAIMS sanctuary status. Why should only those two states suffer the burden of the illegal problems when we are supposed to be "united"? Plus biden started shipping them on planes in the middle of the night IN THE FIRST PLACE. And your idiot president REFUSES to close off the borders. Why? Because he probably got paid by China to NOT close the borders so it can bring us down as a country and economic power. China owns biden and he has to do anything they say. So if you want to blame anyone, blame your idiot president who does shady dealings and should be prosecuted for treason.
And if you think this is going to hurt NY, just wait until the "reparations committee" gets done with their made up, out of this world figure.
