New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Sunday said the influx of tens of thousands of migrants will bring a "financial tsunami" as departments across the board are forced to slash budgets to accommodate the new arrivals.
The mayor’s dire warning came during an appearance on PIX 11’s "PIX on Politics" days after he predicted that the crisis "will destroy New York City."
Adams said it was his job as mayor, to be honest and transparent with New Yorkers about the reality of the crisis they are facing.
"We are about to experience a financial … tsunami that I don’t think the city has ever experienced," Adams said. "Every service in this city is going to be impacted from child service to our seniors to housing. Everything will be impacted.
He warned that women and children may soon have to share spaces with single men, and public safety could be threatened, alluding to a brawl that broke out at a migrant shelter in Brooklyn Thursday morning.
Responding to criticism that his words were deemed "reckless," Mayor Adams said the reality on the ground "was not an academic exercise."
"This is not a utopia. New York City cannot manage 10,000 people a month with no end in sight," he said. "That can’t happen, and that is going to undermine this entire city."
The mayor further warned that every city department will likely see budget cuts to address the anticipated $12 billion price tag of the migrant crisis.
Several major U.S. cities have struggled with an influx of many thousands of asylum seekers who have filled up homeless shelters after entering the U.S. New York City's shelter system has been especially overwhelmed.

You can omit “most likely” with the RINOs; it’s redundant.
Its working - Texas, order up more busses for another 50K illegals heading to NYC
“ We could pretty much secure our border in 3 weeks.”
That’s the ridiculous part. This isn’t even hard.
Someone needs to send him an extra 100,000 illegals...
New York State has the unilateral power to allow them to live on tents on upstate farms and to use outhouses on those farms.
I really wish Trump would go to the Bronx and give an immigration speech. He won’t win New York but he shouldn’t let the hacks pretend that he hasn’t been saying this for 8 years. He should speak up for and to the people in the Bronx and queens as well. He won’t win New York but this would drastically help with the national conversation. Even team up with Adam’s and amplify his voice.

In 1979 a lawyer named Robert Hayes, who co-founded Coalition for the Homeless, brought a class action lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against the City and State called Callahan v. Carey, arguing that a constitutional right to shelter existed in New York. In particular, the lawsuit pointed to Article XVII of the New York State Constitution, which declares that “the aid, care and support of the needy are public concerns and shall be provided by the state and by such of its subdivisions….”
"This is not a utopia. The USANew York Citycannot manage 10,000 people a month with no end in sight," he said. "That can’t happen, and that is going to undermine this entire NATIONcity."
“The aid, care and support of the needy are public concerns and shall be provided by the state and by such of its subdivisions, and in such manner and by such means, as the legislature may from time to time determine.”

Fly them back.
When the populace elects a man, because of his skin color, to be Mayor of any city the results will not be good. Eric Adams is “Exhibit ONE,” in this regard.
Unskilled, thinly educated, excuse prone, blamer of all but him or herself, it is the recipe for disaster. We see it in New York, Chicago and all of the other Democrat run cities.
This tragedy is sure to repeat itself when the hordes of immigrants arrive to get the vote.
Our culture is facing a tragic change. It is not only Biden’s fault. It is the RINOS, and never Trumpers too!.
Have a nice day......
God bless CC and its vanilla suburbs.
Might have been a rather factual article, but that last sentence is a complete and total lie....
Of course, the dems expect Texas to manage 10,000 a day.
I am yet unable to come to a real understanding of why this is. The very people who are in charge of keeping a nation running smoothly seem to all be pro illegal alien invasion. I would think it a basic fundamental instinct to wanna protect your nations sovereignty and the quality of life of those who put their trust in and voted you to perform on their behalf, not to mention your children’s children.
The democrat party and all its voters are the greatest threat in this world.
Does anybody care?? Is anybody there??
“financial tsunami”? How can that be when everything is going along great according to the Biden White House and their Inflation Reduction act.
Exactly! It’s Texas’ fault, or the “Federal Government’s” fault, but never once does he pin the tail on the Joe Biden donkey...
