New York City mayor Eric Adams issued a grave warning on Wednesday as he told the nation the city will be destroyed by the current migrant crisis - but the Democrat was singing from a very different song sheet only a year ago.
Last August, Adams went to Port Authority to welcome a bus full of asylum seekers sent from Texas by Republican governor Gregg Abbot, who argued progressive cities should also bare the costs of the influx of asylum seekers crossing the southern border.
Speaking to reporters at the time, the mayor said: 'As the mayor of New York, I have to provide services families that are here, and that's what we're going to do - our responsibility as a city, and I'm proud that this is a Right to Shelter state, and we're going continue to do that.'
But the buses kept coming, and a year later, Adams is pleading for federal and state aid - asking a judge to suspend the Right to Shelter policy as the city struggles to find room for the 110,000 asylum seekers that have arrived since the Spring of 2022.
In May he made major changes to the 40-year-old 'Right to Shelter' law that guarantees a bed for anyone who needs it in the city, as his government asked for federal and state help to deal with the surge of migrants that he now says could destroy New York as we know it.
With Executive Order 402, Adams suspended aspects of the law, meaning the city no longer had to provide migrant families with their own room and could direct them to a communal shelter instead.
In July, he told migrants the city was out of room, and to said it would distribute flyers at the US-Mexico border telling newly arrived migrants...

REVEALED: NYC’s $4.7BN migrant bill is equal to cost of critical services like sanitation, parks and fire department COMBINED - as Mayor Eric Adams warns crisis will destroy the city, with schools already overwhelmed

Can’t wait for the flooding from the next few storms.
Did NYC actually do anything about the drainage issues they had from Sandy?
Or were the funds diverted and vanished as usual?
The city is “out of room”? All of this over 110,000 people?
According to the US Census, the boroughs of Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, and Brooklyn have lost 236,000 from 2021-2022. They still have room for twice as many.
Diversity is our strength.

I figure they are even, 110K new citizens to replace the 110K billionaires who packed up and left lol
Biden and his goons have been flying illegals into New York for a long time. It’s not just Texas and Florida ... Mayor Eric Adams needs to go to HIS President Sniffer and demand the border be closed. Border states have ZERO sympathy for Adams and his liberal idiots.
Inarticulate, dumb ass virtue signaling moron rang the dinner bell for this human garbage and now he’s begging the taxpayer to bail him out from the consequences of his own big stupid mouth .
That means all of us are supposed to cough it up for the upkeep of these invaders.
How do people as dumb as Adams get this far in life?
Eric Adams is just another Democrat idiot, moron, hell bent on destroying our nation. The people of New York get what they continue to vote for. F them!

Hell I’ll say it.
HEY NYC, THIS is exactly where Affirmative Action gets you. YOU voted for this incompetent fool. ENJOY THE SUCK!!!
Another fine example of Democratic Party incompetence.
I've been in DoD for almost 50 years (military, contractor, and civilian) and every time I encounter an idiot in charge of something it's evident they were the beneficiary of the 'fail upward' program.
FTA—— migrants who had been settled in other cities have
also taken advantage of the Mayor’s self inflicted dilemma.....
Thanks to sap-happy Mayor Adams, they creep into NYC to
get Adams’ free shelters and to get out of having to pay rent.
Eric Adams is just another Democrat idiot, moron, hell bent on destroying
our nation. The people of New York get what they continue to vote for.
Reality check.......
After he managed to win and started governing, some of the Wall Street types who $$$backed him said he conned them bigtime........lied thru his teeth, said he was “different,” promised to do things he never delivered on.
The proposed Biden solution is to force the “migrants” to remain in ........ the border state they entered: CA, AZ, NM, TX, FL
Note to Gothamites: You have RCV now for a reason. Wanna save your city? Get rid of RCV and electronic voting machines before it’s too late.
Hey Mayor Adams — NYC is a Sanctuary City. That’s YOUR brand. Now suck it up and stop bitching.
As Kerry taught, paraphrased, “I was for it before I was against it.” This is the Democrat’s “go to” game.
Just like when Pelosi said “Hug a Chinese person” during COVID.
Adams should be a dog catcher, he doesn’t do well as a pol. Adams was banking on big bucks from the Feds to support the illegals so he could pocket some of the money, but the’re isn’t any money coming. Biden and the Marxist Dems have spent it or given it all away.
