New York City considering housing asylum seekers at shuttered federal prison
UPDATED ON: AUGUST 18, 2023 / 9:17 PM / CBS NEW YORK
NEW YORK - New York City wants to house migrants at a closed federal prison that once jailed mobsters.
That’s not the only location the city is considering as they struggle to find housing for thousands of asylum seekers.
So far, the city says it has opened more than 200 sites, including 13 relief centers.
Friday afternoon, the city said over 101,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the crisis began, and that number continues to go up.
“We have opened up 200 sites and we are out of space. Good spaces, OK spaces. These are spaces available. All options are on the table,” Deputy Mayor for Communications Fabien Levy said.
Oh, no! 101k! A crisis!
The rest of us have been dealing with the libs’ mess for decades.
This is greatly ironic.
New York City is a sanctuary city.
New York’s mayor is a Democrat. The president is a Democrat. The Democrat president’s policies created this problem. The Democrat mayor of a sanctuary city is pleading with his own Democrat president to help deal with the problem created by the policies of a president of his own political party. Yet his city proclaims it is a sanctuary city, so theoretically they welcome any and all illegal aliens.
Democrats from top to bottom own this problem.
I wonder if they will blame any Republicans for this somehow.
In today’s NY Post, “NY threatens schools with legal action if they try to block or even hinder migrant students from registering”. Great, huh? They are the very definition of “glutton for punishment”. So incredibly brainwashed that they’d walk off a cliff, smiling.
This happys me

Sure they will. DeSantis and Abbott for busing these illegals to Gracie Mansion.
Exactly right! That’s a spit in the ocean for the NYC metro area.
What happened to all the compassionate “Refugees Welcome” and “We are a Sanctuary City” crapola?
I would suggest using the mayor’s residence, Gracie Mansion. The mayor’s family could live on the second floor. Reserve the first floor for the illegals. You could easily fit 50 people in there.
Plus there is ample space in the yard for tents and such.
What say you, Mayor Adams? Lead by example!
Residents are saying this is a giant "f-u" to SI - the closed school where the migrants are being bused to is city-owned property:
Kudos Gov. Abbott. SEND MORE!!!! If you need bus drivers holler!!!
5 arrests were made during violent migrant crisis protest outside Gracie Mansion
Guardian Angels leader Curtis Sliwa was arrested.
Sliwa had criticized Mayor Eric Adams.
Adams said “he would welcome a few migrant families into Gracie Mansion..... if allowed.”
The next day Adams flipped his script and said he can’t do that.
“Who told you you can’t do that? You’re the mayor,” Sliwa said.
“But we just had the rugs cleaned.” Adams whined.
Instead of a monetary collapse of the “system” this is Cloward & Piven using human beings.
Screw Abbott. Send them back across the border.
Not gonna happen until we get Trump back in. Until then transporting them like cattle to blue states, states like NY, makes them bluer, who cares for now. Just get them out of red states ASAP.
Abbott to Adams, they are winding up in red pro-Trump Staten Island.
The political pressure from the left to stop the madness increases with each bus load. Enjoy the show.
God bless Gov. Abbott.
“House” these invaders in Mexico.
“Not gonna happen until we get Trump back in. Until then transporting them like cattle to blue states, states like NY, makes them bluer, who cares for now. Just get them out of red states ASAP.”
Yep, the holier-than-thou hypocrites in the blue states need to experience first hand the consequences of their “pathological compassion”. They might rethink how they vote next time.
We are falling into a trap! There is no Constitutional mandate that the govt must provide for foreign invaders. Just because Democrats invited them to 'come on over' does not provide justification for such a mandate. Now they are facing the consequences of their posturing words; they are facing the consequences that they had wished upon their distant neighbors.
I warn that this will end badly. I suspect that an autocratic govt will 'mandate' that citizens who have habitable residences must take in and provide for 'migrants'. The Bolsheviks faced this same problem and solved it this way. There was massive disease, massive starvation, massive theft - massive death.
Of course their 'MSM' never reported on this sort of miscalculation.
