Maybe a migrant version of this show could be in the works, lol.

New York City shelters are so overwhelmed by the migrant crisis that Mayor Eric Adams is considering using cruise ships as temporary housing.
“We examined everything from the legality of using any type of cruise ship for temporary housing,” Hizzoner during an interview on WCBS Sunday.
“We’re looking at everything to see, how do we deal with this?”
Adams made the suggestion just hours before The Post reported that a record number of 9 buses carrying migrants traveled into the city.
Each bus typically carries between 40 and 50 migrants.
The influx is crippling the New York shelter system. Full-time facilities are being pushed to the brink and affecting the quality of life of the neighborhood and the city has opened 23 emergency shelters, but there are still not enough beds.
Cruise ships could help alleviate the stress, according to Adams, and were once an alternative the Bloomberg administration considered during its own migration surge.
Adams did not disclose any further details regarding the potential floating shelters but slammed federal policy of barring migrants from working in the US before obtaining work permits.
“We’re saying, ‘You could come here, but you are not allowed to work.’ That is unbelievable,” Adams said, noting the shortages in various sectors, including food, healthcare and transit.

And who’s payin’?
Theyre not jabbed will they have to be tested as the American citizen passengers have to be ???
I hate liberals.
Another USNS Comfort fiasco in the making? /s
Take em out 50 miles and pull the drain plug
Cruise ships: Sure, $500 per night per “migrant” and they can have steak & lobster, open bar and a free show every night!
Good idea, but I figure the cruise ship owners, would tell the mayor to F himself.
They would find cruise boats that are at the end of their productive ‘careers’, and some monthly rental fee would be in the deal...maybe a captain and basic crew to operate. Chow would be probably limited to some cheapo situation.
I would imagine right now, there’s probably twenty vessels to fit this description and easily dispatched to NY City in a matter of a couple of days.
New York City couldn’t handle that many ships. It isn’t the port it used to be.
Hey DUMBASS, tell your EVIL President to STOP THE INVASION!!!!
YOU think this is a good idea??? GOOD FREAKING GRIEF!
I don’t know too many foreign-flagged cruise companies that would take an order from a mayor and release cruise ships for uses as housing. If there were some derelict ships around, I suppose they could be moored at Wallabout Bay…just like the British prison ships during the revolution.
Maybe a migrant version of this show could be in the works, lol.
I’m sure the cruise lines have spare ships right now, and this is a good way to make a little cash. Well, probably a lot of cash. During the Gulf Wars, they had cruise ships for R&R the troops in Bahrain and Dubai. I turned down a 3 day pass on the Cunard Princess because, well because I had a lot of work to do. I’m sure the cruise line was making a mint from us.
I’ve seen this idea pitched in Germany (2016 period with refugees). It gets openly discussed and the sanitation experts always advise against it, because you need massive daily cleaning efforts to prevent disease.
Same thing will happen here in NYC. Once the disease prevention folks get all hyped-up, this idea will be dropped.
Drag queens - three shows every day. Mandatory attendance required.
I doubt it. The illegals would probably sue over it, and win. They would then have to be provided 1st class housing. Who knows for sure?
