New York City Mayor Eric Adams has torn into the migrant crisis crippling the Big Apple - which he warned will 'destroy' the city without urgent action.
Speaking to furious residents at a town hall meeting on Wednesday, he admitted he doesn't see a solution to the problem as he slammed the lack of help from Joe Biden.
'Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don't see an ending to this,' he conceded. 'This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City.'
The former top cop grew emotional as he talked about buses of migrants arriving on a near-daily basis, with over 10,000 arriving every month. Upwards of 110,000 are littered across the metro, and Adams' office has estimated the issue will cost New York City $12billion over three years.
Authorities are concerned that without an exit ramp, the situation could soon reach boiling point as furious protestors have clashed on the streets of the Five Boroughs while more and more migrants are left homeless by the limited space.
The migrant crisis has plagued Adams' time as mayor since he took office in January 2022, and the former police officer warned Wednesday the problem is only getting worse.
'We're getting 10,000 migrants a month,' he said. 'Now we're getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they're going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City.'
The city has a legal obligation to give shelter to those to make their way to the metro, and Adams has desperately turned to a variety of city landmarks, makeshift shelters and temporary housing as short-term solutions.

Texas and Florida should sent billing invoices for the bus service to those sanctuary cities.
But.....it’s a Sanctuary city.
We live in an age of ridiculous problems.
************
And in an era of general cultural deterioration, which makes fixing our problems and implementing workable solutions nearly impossible. Nobody wants to do what is necessary to fix them.
Deal with what you voted for and supported!
The Republicans are what they are. They are never going to change. It is a soulless party devoid of convictions or desire to lead.
But if you say anything suggestive of a new party you will get bashed and trashed right here on FR.
Wonder what answer Eric Adams got when he called Biden for help.
Embrace the suck, Air-Ick, and welcome to the border!
Now even they cannot ignore the chaos, violence and dysfunction they have created.
*************
Those are the conditions that Democrats thrive in as they design new taxes, spending programs and bureaucracies to “solve the problems”. Dysfunction is their friend.
There is a tipping point. I believe they have reached it.
Gov Abbott caused this. God bless him.
“There is a tipping point. I believe they have reached it.”
************
There’s so much craziness surrounding us its hard to tell if a tipping point is even possible. You would think that out of control crime, looting, anarchy and rampant drug use would be tipping points, but that hasn’t happened. The Democrats are very good at sweeping problems under the rug or blaming others for them.
Wake up Eric. That’s what they want. Destroy our once great cities. Now is the moment to shine. Will you seize it?
Wonder what answer Eric Adams got when he called Biden for help....
Biden will not help with any of this. To send help would be admitting that we have a problem with illegal immigration.
To Mr. Adams: Boo frikking Hoo. We have been dealing with illegals here in Texas for 50 years with ZERO help from DC.
[’The city we knew, we’re about to lose’: Eric Adams says New York City’s migrant crisis will DESTROY the Big Apple as he warns that 10,000 illegal asylum seekers arriving EVERY month will flood EACH of the five boroughs]
You wanted to have a “sanctuary city” Mayor Eric Adams.
Enjoy.
Signed, the Southern States
Notice this idiot doesn’t say “close the border Mr. Chomo.” He just says, “send more money Mr. Chomo.”
We have been dealing with illegals here in Texas for 50 years
Time for the rest of the country to understand what and why the problem still exists.
Trump is the ONLY chance of help we have.
Does this mean that the Dims will FINALLY vote for Trump?
As if the same thing has not happened all across the country and more in Texas. Suck it fools.
Screw NYC. EVERY little hamlet, city, area anywhere in this country is and has been blanketed with these illegals and has to suffer the enormous added costs they bring: schools, teachers, County health and medical resources, criminal activities and the policing needed for it, and competition for low income housing, social services like SNAP and EBT......
Take your medicine, NYC. It’s your day in the barrel.
Law of holes: if you’re in one, stop digging.
NYC should:
1) redefine “illegals” as “CRIMINAL ILLEGALS”
2) immediately drop the notion of being a “sanctuary city.”
3) encourage citizens to turn in illegals asap
4) conduct massive sweeps, ship them all back to DC.
