New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the city has "no more room for migrants" and "our cup has basically runneth over," after it welcomed approximately 90,000 migrants since April 2022.

"We stated several months ago that we have reached full capacity and that full capacity was verbalized, and now New York is just going to be visually actualized. We’re going to see how much of our cup has basically runneth over. We have no more room in the city, and we need help," Adams said in a press conference Wednesday.

Adams admitted that offering temporary shelter, placing migrants in hotels, school gymnasiums is "not sustainable," saying that its "wrong" that the Big Apple is "carrying the weight" of the ongoing migrant crisis.

"This cannot continue, is not sustainable, and we're not going to pretend as though it is sustainable," the mayor said. "This is wrong that New York City is carrying the weight of a national problem."

He’s shipping them upstate, total loser liar. Upstate isn’t a sanctuary like NYC.

What an ignorant moron!

He complains about having to handle 90,000 illegals and doesn’t give a damn about the millions that border states have to deal with.

Adams has to think out of the box.....all those Universities have thousands of empty dorms that could provide housing for illegals. Haavard, Yale, Princeton to name a few.

So is NYC no longer a sanctuary city? I’m pretty sure Texas isn’t a sanctuary state and has been screaming for the last two years the SAME THING!

But, it’s okay if border cities are overrun by illegals? Screw this hypocritical a-hole. If he has a problem with too many illegals being in his city, he can demand the Biden regime close the borders.

“This is wrong that New York City is carrying the weight of a national problem.” - NYC thug-in-chief Adams.

Texas has been carrying the weight for decades, ya maroon.

I work in New York City. There is still plenty of room.

We could easily fit a million of them in Central Park. Make it the world's largest tent city. You could do that and the Upper East Siders will still have plenty of room to walk their dogs.

Give us your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free

Hahaha
I wish he had to endure the misery personally.
Just another phony politician acting like they understand how bad things are. In actuality, he made it worse.

Damn straight, there’s plenty of commercial real estate waiting for several 100,000’s of uneducated, diseased immigrants looking for a new place to crap.

I’d bet there’s a bunch of unused rooms in Gracie Mansion waiting for occupants too.

Finally, Eric Adams in the role of NYC Mayor makes DeBlasio look like a genius.

Yep, half the office buildings here have been empty since the big COVID scare back in 2020.

All the illegal immigrants should be stuffed in those empty spaces as well.

There's already people crapping in the streets here so what difference would it make?

Dear Mayor,
your cup is only half full with the over flow from the rest of the country. Quit your sniveling.

Right.

There’s a word for that:

hypocrisy.
