Eric Adams seeks court approval to suspend NYC’s ‘right to shelter’ rule in wake of migrant crisis
New York Post ^ | May 23, 2023

Mayor Eric Adams is seeking a suspension of the city’s “right to shelter” regulation as it struggles to provide housing, food and legal services to over 40,000 migrants with limited federal assistance.

The New York City Law Department submitted an application on Tuesday night requesting that the Big Apple’s decades-old “right to shelter” regulation is modified, explaining that the surge of migrants has placed “unprecedented demands” on the city’s resources.

“Given that we’re unable to provide care for an unlimited number of people and are already overextended, it is in the best interest of everyone, including those seeking to come to the United States, to be upfront that New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border,” said Adams in a statement, defending the move.

I guess that’s the polite way of saying ‘We don’t want to be no stinking Sanctuary city ant mo”.

Go ahead, Eric. Just say it. “Trump was right. Build the Wall. Close the Border.” Your butt will feel so much better after you are done squeezing it out.

Why doesn’t he just get the City Council to reverse it? He’s got a Democrat majority there: 45 Democrats and 6 Republicans. Why go to court?

NYS cost shares Medicaid costs with counties.

For anyone thinking of moving here: Don’t.

but...but...you are a sanctuary city. If you have a bitch, talk to Mr. Biden and suggest he close the border...for real! If you get Kamala by mistake, hang up. She’s totally worthless to anyone on anything, especially the border.

A dimrat politician will never admit that they were wrong or a repub was right. It’s tribal. The dims are loyal to their party first and everything else is a distant second by a mile.

Suspend? Rescind! But the Democrat majority would be saying they were in error, violating the sacred oath to never admit being wrong.

Song and dance alongside waiting for court dates and continuance is the substitute, but it won't last long.

Their Titanic has indeed had its hull breached. Taking on migrants fast now. Send out an SOS. Political lifeboats at the ready. This captain has no interest in going down with the ship of state.

“Any more”? No, the proper vernacular is ‘No mo’.

I read this morning that space in one of their prized public schools on the Upper West Side has been taken for the migrants, with the usual howls from the phony liberals. The Upper West Side votes 90+ percent for the Bidens of this world; let them reap what he sows. Ha, Ha.

All this open border policy amounts to just ONE THING:

The current administration is willing to PIGGYBACK the RIGHTS of the ILLEGAL INVADERS onto my back & the backs of ALL Americans.

I AIN’T PLAYING THAT GAME

We expect inner city collapse, aka Democrat Party failures, to be a slow sort of thing, until they're not. Rather like Hemingway's observation about going broke.
