'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
Daily Mail ^ | 9/07/23 | Will Potter

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.

Typical liberal characteristic—they have the inability to forsee the consequences of their actions. Another way to put it is the are stupid beyond belief.

But they’re usually the first to ‘get it’. 💀

Adams whines, “They’re ILLEGAL.”

In a sanctuary city?

It’s liberal feelgood declaring one’s city a “sanctuary city.”

Virtue signaling at its best......but a liberal copout......NIMBY.......when they actually show up.

Where did Biden expect all the people to go?

We can't let millions of uncontrolled people to enter the country and then be surprised when the cities can't handle the sudden influx of new residents.

Yes, the consequences of a sanctuary city can be harsh.

As to, “.....he admitted he doesn't see a solution to the problem as he slammed the lack of help from Joe Biden......”

I have a solution. Hey New Yorker’s, vote in a Republican President, a Republican Senate, and a Republican federal House of Representatives, and your illegal alien problem will get solved relatively quickly.

New York is just the tip of the spear. the destruction of these United States of America is going according to plan. “The People” could stop this onslaught by a literal army of foreign agents...but so far no one of any consequence is doing anything to stop it other than expending hot air. the one guy who DID try is still suffering the consequences of crossing their line and slowing the march to pure marxism...by the marxists on BOTH sides of the aisle. you know...the ones called rino’s are just hidden marxists. such a shame not enough Americans can extrapolate what is now obvious to where the logical conclusion will lead but freedom to choose is also a license to be stupid. Enjoy America while you can. she may well be a footnote in history in the too near future.

His leftist brethren in Washington and Arizona welded the gates to the wall OPEN and just sued Texas to remove the buoys that were preventing “migrants” from arriving.

He’s feeling the results of these INSIDIOUS policies.

________________________________________
Go back and listen to Yuri Bezmenov on the subject of ‘useful idiots.’ They get their name as such because they are the ones who initially are the strongest proponents for the Commie philosophy - suckers - who swallow the hook, line, and sinker. Finally they wake up and get angry as hell but by then its too late to do anything about their predicament. They then are either put in jail, escape in exile, or summarily executed. It happens over and over again as Yuri points out. It’s the Communist playbook.

...he admitted he doesn't see a solution to the problem as he slammed the lack of help from Joe Biden.

Is he so stupid as to think that Biden would help with the very problem that Biden and his communistic cronies have deliberately created?

Of course he doesn't see a solution to the problem. He doesn't want the invasion of illegals to end, he just wants money from Uncle Sugar to deal with it. He refuses to admit that his own policies are contributing to the rot that is destroying a once great city.

They have plenty of empty commercial real estate to house the millions going into Texas.

Anyone facilitating illegal immigration into Texas should be arrested as a human trafficker.

If they can’t be stopped at the border, they need to keep moving to a sanctuary state.
