Adams Drifts to A Political Island as New York’s Migrant Crisis Grows

NEW YORK — Days after winning his mayoral primary last year, Eric Adams declared ambitions to play a national role in the Democratic Party. Now, 10 months into his first year as mayor, he’s been thrust into the position he coveted — but not for the reason he’d hoped.

Adams’ city is buckling under pressure to accommodate tens of thousands of Latin American asylum-seekers — many bused here by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is making a public show of sending border-crossers to New York, Washington and Chicago.

It’s also isolated the moderate Democrat mayor, whose political allies are piling on while he’s at war with the GOP and liberal critics protesting his every move.

 
NY is finally becoming the place we all dreamed it would:



(dreamed in our nightmares) 😨

On Oct. 10, 2022, the census indicated that 62,174 individuals were in the NYC shelter system. The number does not include certain subcategories of the DHS such as Safe Havens.

“The increase in the shelter census is fueled by rising numbers of people entering the system, by bureaucratic bottlenecks precluding residents from transitioning into permanent and safe affordable housing quickly, and, most notably, by the City’s continued failure to create anywhere near enough affordable housing for the New Yorkers who need it most,” said the Legal Aid Society and Coalition for the Homeless on Oct. 12. “The average length of stay in DHS shelters has risen to all-time highs, with single adults spending an average of 509 days in shelters, families with minor children spending 534 days, and adult families spending a staggering 855 days.”

Both organizations said that New York City Mayor Eric Adams needs to take definitive and swift action to move homeless New Yorkers into permanent housing – starting by accelerating the housing placement process.

what seems to be your problem?
62,000 isn't even 1% of the total population of NYC
lets see NYC has 8,8 MILLION people and 88000 would be 1 % and you are talking 62,000?
I have not done the research but I would venture to say there are a lot of other cities that have a larger percentage of their population in shelters then NYC has.
WHY do you have to keep trying to tear down Biden and the USA as a whole?
Have a nice day
 
Darned shame we don't have control of our borders. Maybe someone should do something about that?
Why don't you ask McConnell and the Republicans?
the Dens wanted to put something like 26 Billion dollars in the budget back in 2017 to build the wall IF McConnell and the Republicans would work with them on the Dreamer / Birther issue and McConnell said NO , and basically it was because it would make the Dems look good because they were doing something good for the country and McConnell couldn't let that happen
so NOW the Republicans are putting all the blame on the Dems and NOT admitting McConnell and the Republicans were the ones that screwed everything up
they had their chance
Have a nice day

I'll bet many Texas cities have higher percentages than this. Funny how it wasn't a problem until it started affecting the Center of the Universe, Manhattan.

Right Democrats would only agree to build a wall to protect our border if they received something for it. There's a word for that. It's called extortation.

Biden is. People who enter illegally are being deported. People who seek asylum are being allowed to do so. Two different aspects of adhering to the legal obligations in place.

Good. I hope they get overwhelmed, then maybe they'll understand the plight of Texans.

OH so they wanted to HELP resolve an Issue the US has had for YEARS and STILL has. and it is " EXTORTION" ?
NO McConnell didn't want the Dems to look like they were doing something GOOD for the country
and he couldn't let that happen,
IF he would have sat down and talked about the Dreamer / Birther problem they could have NOT only got the 26 Billion for the wall but get the Dreamer / birther issue fixed

Amnesty or else.

and we have never given " amnesty " before ?
and for a lot more people?
these people didn't have a choice , they were brought here back when they were YOUNG kids and have grown up he do not know any other language but English and if they were sent back to where they came from they probably could not survive,
NO the Dems would have not only put the 26/28 Billion for the wall in the budget and got the Dreamer / Birther issue resolved
McConnell is the one that stopped it and now the people on the right can't admit McConnell messed up
Have a nice day

I wonder if migrants were bused to Montana in similar fashion whether that state would be dealing with issues as well. NYC has to deal with illegal immigration through visa overstays versus migrants arriving en masse, so how that's managed is more spread out than border states. What compounds the shelter crisis right now is the increase in people priced out of housing as the rents continue to rise quickly.

Democrats have already gotten their one time amnesty deal in the 80's and we are still waiting for the secured borderthat they promised in exchange. Secure the border and then and only then can't discuss amnesty.

Who's fault is that?

Hyperbole isn't going to work but I give you points for trying 🤣

Whatever harm caused to the dreamers from being denied amnesty you can fairly blame the Republicans for. Whatever harm being caused by our unsecured border belongs to the Democrats.

Montana supports a border wall and the remain in Mexico policy. New York welcomes them.

for your info there have been a few Presidents that gave amnesty
and it was NOT the dreamer/ birthers fault they were YOUNG kids give them a break.
YEP blame the DEMS for not offering 26. / 28 Billion for the wall when they did
HAVE a NICE day
 
Meh.....cant see it from my house.

let these poor souls have their crack at a better life I say. Nothing more American than that.

That wasn't the point; it's a question of a state's ability to deal with an issue compared to another that might not be in the same manner. I wouldn't expect Vermont to be the best prepared state for hurricane preparedness and response the way I would Gulf of Mexico states.
