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’?”
Hopefully only New Yorkers.
Assuming they’re not hauled back to where they came from, what will their permanent housing be?
(You stole my post - but I forgive you.)
.
Is this a great country, or what?
Immigrate illegally, flout the laws - and get a free cruise.
Who would NOT want to come here?
And rather than teach these new arrivals about America's
founding documents and the values and ethics that built
this country - better to first teach them that: "Crime Pays".
They will then surely become fine, upstanding, productive citizens.
Right?

The Mayor is sure smart compared to a toad......
Somehow the government would find a way to pay more than what it would cost to actually send them on a cruise with all of the food and drink that come with it.
Hmmmm.
I read this and my first thought was,

Where will the bilge pumps be emptied? Should create a beautiful harbor Visit. We went from truckloads of dead bodies to boatloads of trapped people.Leave NYC now it is killing itself with stupidity.
He can’t think that far ahead his mouth works but brain doesn’t.
Bring them ashore as needed during elections...
Sure, but better keep them all on the poop deck.
Voyage of the Damned Stupid.
Meanwhile, there are thousands of empty apartments vacated by those who have left the city.
