Mayor Eric Adams (D-NYC) and the New York City Council announced a massive new project to house 1,000 border crossers inside an empty five-story office building on Long Island.

The building on Austell Place, close to a train yard near Queens, has been designated a “humanitarian response and relief center” and is the city’s 16th large-scale migrant housing center, according to Crain’s New York.

In less than 90 days that building will be unfit for human habitation.

I get what you're saying, but in this particular case the building is already unfit for human habitation.

Only a thousand?

That’s a couple of hours worth of crossers.

Need to send another 15,000!

See how fast Adams can expropriate dilapidated buildings.

NYC will hand the Feds a huge invoice for their incompetence. Congress should pass legislation to unfund ALL NGOs. Private donations only.

Imagine the stench, trash, and crime that will be emanating from that structure in no time at all.

Its Long Island City, not Long Island. The title is misrepresented. LIC is right near Astoria, right over the Triborough Bridge. A ways from Long Island.

Of course this is part of AOC’s district so i’m all for it. Long Island City was supposed to be home to a massive Amazon warehouse and its’ 30,000 jobs, until AOC had it pushed out. Now it will be home to thousands of illegals. Gotta love it.

“house 1,000 border crossers inside an empty five-story office building”

Might as well set up a call center, if they are going to give them cubicles and turn the power back on.

BS politispeak! They are ILLEGAL ALIENS! Nothing else. They only have moral rights here and are to be EXPELLED! There is no need for asylum where they came from.

Turn the UN building into a homeless migrant shelter

It’d be a better class of grifters and junkies than the current occupants

I wonder where NYC will get all the additional garbage men and police officers needed to service that housing project.
Or maybe they won’t.

All Breitbart had to do was look at a map, but they screwed that up. This is not in Long Island.

Border crossers? Even Breitbart won’t refer to them as illegal aliens.

If Adams gets too pissed off he might send some to Martha’s Vinyard, lol.
