Adams administration eyes more than 3,000 NYC sites to house migrants — but won’t say if Central Park is included

Mayor Adams’ administration is looking at over 3,000 sites to place asylum seekers — and would not say whether the possible locations include Central Park — in the wake of the mayor’s comments that the migrant crisis is “coming to a neighborhood near you.”

There are nearly 108,000 people at 194 shelters across the Big Apple — pushing city officials to get creative when looking for places to erect new migrant housing.

Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom skirted around whether migrant tents would be set up in Central Park, telling reporters on Wednesday that while there is a “constantly refreshing” list of possible sites, the situation is “at a breaking point.”

“Over 3,000 sites have been reviewed throughout the city to place people,” she said, without giving specifics on what sites they were looking at.

This is a stalling tactic. Adams has been ordered by the Feds to put on a helpless face while the Feds redistribute these illegals to red states and suburban areas.
Remember when Chief Moose was giving those incompetent press conferences during the DC Sniper while the Feds were doing the real work? Same dynamic.

Why are we continuing to let these freeloaders in if we have no place to stack them. We don’t need anymore ghettos!

I hope southern border states up the pressure and enforce existing laws and enact new laws that force illegal aliens out of their states to further north. I live in Wyoming and it is being swamped by illegal immigration and we’re in the middle of nowhere.

Every New Yorker I’ve met loves to virtue-signal about their love of “social justice,” open borders, drug-culture, etc...

Now they get to show their love!

It took 40+ years, but life eventually does imitate art.

Snake Plisskin, pick up the white courtesy telephone.

Yup...Central Park West is a good spot. Tribeca is also good. But why should NYC carry the *entire* burden? Scarsdale,NY...New Canaan,CT...Alpine,NJ also have plenty of room.

And let's not forget The Botox Queen's gated neighborhood in San Fransicko.

After all,we've seen the kind people of Martha's Vineyard open their arms to those 51 poor "migrants".

Mostly military age males without women or kids.

Those aren’t migrants.

Hurry up, Mayor!

More a likely coming due to the Biden Open Borders policies.

[It is kind of nice for all of these sanctuary cities to now be getting their ‘fair share’ of illegals who cross the border.]

Movie’ on up to the East Side!!!!

Now they need to do a Jeffersons remake using OPOC - other people of color.

They have no problem changing history by changing the race of historical figures so maybe they need to remake the series and call it ‘The Jeffersanchezes’ and have Jorge Jeffersanchez, Luisa Jeffersanchez and Florencia the maid.

cut down all the trees, use them as lumber to build WW2 style barracks to house the homeless over the entire area of Central Park.

What part(s) of Wyoming? How many?

I heard your new congresslady that replaced Liz the swamp lizzard warned that the deep state believes as few as 200,000 new illegals can flip low population states like Wyoming or the Dakotas.
