Adams: Migrant Surge Has Had ‘Major Impact’ on Economic ‘Recovery’ and Safety Net
Breitbart ^ | 01/13/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 01/14/2023 7:16:15 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) stated that the large number of migrants who have arrived in the city has had a large impact on not only the city’s safety net, but also its economic recovery in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Co-host Geoff Bennett asked, “I want to start with the request you issued today to New York state to help with the burden, the influx of migrants, asylum seekers who have found their way to your city. More than 800 asylum seekers arrived in one day last week, more than 36,000 since this past spring. How has this affected the city’s social safety net and how do you aim to address it?”

Proof that they aren’t coming here to fill jobs Americans won’t do; they’re coming to collect welfare.

Mayor Adams: Those who voted for you are getting exactly what you promised and they voted for - to keep New York, according to you, “a sanctuary city.”

Words - and votes - have consequences.

Enjoy the Suck.

They aren’t migrants, they are illegal aliens....better said.... “they are ‘Invaders’..... ask them what they want.....they want a job, housing, medical care, your daughter.....they are no different than the mongrel hoards of yesteryear and should be treated as such.

Yet Mayor Adams stated “We provided for them housing, food, money, healthcare....education”....and now wants US taxpayers to foot ‘his’ bill....the Dem reaction to illegal overflow is to always ask for more of ‘someone else’s money’!!!!

Migrants staying at $500-a-night Times Square hotel are 'trashing rooms, drinking all day, smoking marijuana and having sex in the stairwell' - with worker calling them a 'disgrace'..... Most of the illegals can't speak English & have no job skills. The US will be supporting them FOREVER.....we cannot recover from this invasion.

How has this affected the city’s social safety net and how do you aim to address it?

Would somebody please send another Million or two Illegal Aliens to New York

The population that is left, that hasn’t fled, will fight over the scraps. That and a shrinking tax base should seal the deal - hope the feds don’t bail Adams out.

I expect violence, lots of it, race based, as the newcomers are put up in hotels, given food, perks, etc, and the “natives” don’t like it one bit, not one bit...

That clothes pile would require about eight pieces of luggage, so I assume they are getting clothing donations?

Tons of food thrown out daily they refuse to eat - demanding - "we don't want sandwichs we want "Hot food"...

Illegals arrive at the Stewart Hotel in Manhattan on January 5, 2023.

“Mayor Eric Adams (D) stated that the large number of migrants who have arrived in the city has had a large impact on not only the city’s safety net”

Maybe he’s worried the home grown criminals will have too much competition in perpetuating their crime spree.
