12 billion dollars more

NY Daily News  

New York City is on track to spend as much as $12 billion on managing the local migrant crisis by mid-2025 — a staggering price tag that Mayor Adams warned Wednesday will necessitate more “across the board” cuts to city services.

The new City Hall cost estimate — which was first reported by the Daily News ahead of its Wednesday morning release — eclipses the $4.3 billion Adams’ administration previously projected it would spend by July 2024 on housing, feeding and providing services for the tens of thousands of migrants who have arrived since last year.

Under the administration’s revised projection, which was prompted by a recent uptick in migrant arrivals, the city is expected to spend as much as $6.1 billion by July 2024. Costs are then set to surge further, reaching the $12 billion mark by July 2025, according to the projection.

“We are past our breaking point,” Adams said in a speech at City Hall, adding that it “breaks this city’s heart” that dozens of migrants resorted a few weeks ago to sleeping on a Midtown Manhattan sidewalk after being told there was no more room in the city’s overcrowded shelter system.

Hundreds of migrants are seen sleeping outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan early Monday, July 31, 2023. Asylum seekers are camping outside the Roosevelt Hotel as the Manhattan relief center is at capacity.

On average, Adams said, the city is already spending $9.8 million per day on accommodating migrants. There are currently more than 57,000 migrants in the city’s shelters and emergency housing systems, most of them Latin Americans who arrived in New York after crossing the U.S. southern border in hopes of obtaining asylum status, according to Adams’ office.

Due to the ballooning price tag, Adams said his administration is in the process of scaling back services being offered to migrants in the city’s care. Perks like free meals, laundry and hygiene products are likely to be on the chopping block, Adams said.

“Every service must be cut,” he told reporters in the City Hall Rotunda after his speech. “Some of the things we were doing we are not going to be able to do.”

Beyond migrants, Adams said services being offered to New Yorkers are also likely to be trimmed back. “Every service in this city is going to be impacted,” he said.

Adams has already slashed spending at nearly all city agencies over the past year due to fiscal concerns largely driven by the migrant crisis. That has resulted in drastic service reductions, like the recent closure of a city Health Department library that emerged as a key scientific research resource during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The only way the city can avoid further budgetary pain is if President Biden’s administration provides Adams’ administration with more financial and logistical aid, the mayor said.

“The White House can help us now,” Adams said.

Let's go Brandon, show us the money.

This idiot in mayor’s office is overwhelmed. He thought his new position was going to be so easy. Brace yourselves. If Adams is saying it will cost $12 B. Try $24 B by the time it’s over. New York is done.

What's woke about this. Corporations want cheap labor. This is what they get. Nothing to do with woke.
Like most TrumpTurds, you probably can't even define "Woke" even though it causes you to become completely deranged.

Of course not, he built "The Great Wall of Texas" which stopped all of this. Everyone is saying it.
This is just more fake news. There are no migrants. Everyone is saying that too.

Don't house them, don't feed them, don't let their kids go to school, don't give them healthcare. Give them NOTHING and then they'll leave. All the "asylum" claims are total bullshit anyway. Oh yeah, give them one thing. A free ticket back home.

Why not? The leftist loonies blame him for everything else.
Soon they'll blame Trump for not completing the wall.

I'm laughing at the news still. NYC is now calling for Brandon to close the border. They're honestly sounding MAGA.

What are you talking about? Trump already built the wall. The border is closed.

>>>>Corporations want cheap labor<<<


Corporations, even construction want cheap labor but no they CANT use any of these people, thats because most are totally illiterate in any language. Most all the females stay pregnant so they can get free stuff and never have to work.
Most these illegals the mayor has invited in cant even write their on name let alone read a ruler. The cant even be processed
Its woke democrat leadership, restaurant, hotel and catholic church that's driving this.
Especially the restaurant industry in New York, look how these cheap bastards are getting every perk possible including taking over public sidewalks and streets.
City Inspectors look the other way on health cards for kitchen and hotel staff.

The restaurants want cheap kitchen staff, Democrats want them for lifetime votes, and the failing Catholic church needs them for their ability to multiply, refuse birth control, fill wooden pews and collection baskets.
For some reason these people (especially the Mexicans are totally loyal obedient to the church, believe in the devil, saints, spirit's and such. A home run of religious easily controllable as far as the church is concerned.
According to Curtis Sliwa's people the Catholic church masses in Spanish, mobbed, every seat filled. Far contrast from the maybe one Sunday mass in English is maybe 20 grey haired white people, some with walkers and such.
Personally I hate the church, one of the most corrupt monsters out there.
These bastards tried to take my mother for $80,000 when my father died from covid in the nursing home. It was first "$80,000 for the last plot left if you want to bury him" then this: "we only have 2 side plots you will have to give us $160,000 for 2 if you want side by side plots.
I went friggin nuts and almost killed that priest and guy with him.!!
F_ing criminals, the Pope too!!

Please help me to understand, we have states/cities what have voted to be sanctuary places, have voted to welcome illegals, and now when they get the illegals they want taxpayer dollars to support them. I don't understand, you wanted them, you got them, you need to pay.

If Sliwa had been elected mayor, we wouldn't be having this crisis right now. He would have turned that very first bus around. And if illegals happened to get here, they wouldn't be given the red carpet treatment Adams is giving them.
