Upstate NY county blocks NYC’s bid to move homeless north to ease migrant shelter crisis
NY Post ^ | 10/01/2023 | Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

An upstate county is blocking New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ bid to shunt Big Apple homeless residents north, calling the move yet another flagrant attempt to shift the migrant crisis elsewhere.

The Democratic mayor announced last week that city housing vouchers for the homeless could now be used outside of the five boroughs — to open shelter space for the wave of migrants flooding into the city from the country’s southern border.

But Republican Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente fired back with an emergency order saying no voucher would be accepted on his turf without his say-so — and then only after needy locals get first dibs at any open slots, according to a report by the Oneida Daily Dispatch.

“This is just a veiled attempt by Mayor Adams to pass New York City’s migrant crisis on to upstate counties,” Picente said. “This action is due to the complete failure of federal government policy and lack of leadership in Albany.”

Upstate counties have already been pushing back hard against Adams’ earlier attempts to relocate asylum seekers by busing them to other areas of New York.

He is not a democratic governor. He is a Democrat governor.

There is a big difference.

Tolerant and compassionate New York City Mayor Eric Adams graciously took time from looting the city budget to lovingly shunt Big Apple homeless residents northward, out of the city......

Adams nobly decreed that city housing vouchers for the homeless could now be used outside of the five boroughs — to open shelter space for the wave of migrants flooding into the city from the country’s southern border.

Unfortunately, the gracious Mayor faced one of those dang truth-telling Republicans.

Calling the move yet another flagrant attempt to shift the migrant crisis elsewhere, Republican Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente fired back with an emergency order saying “no city voucher would be accepted on his turf without his say-so — and then only after needy locals get first dibs at any open slots,” according to a report by the Oneida Daily Dispatch.

“This is just a veiled attempt by Mayor Adams to pass New York City’s migrant crisis on to upstate counties,” Picente said. “This action is due to the complete failure of federal government policy and lack of leadership in Albany.”

I was opposed to TX and FL shipping illegals.
I was wrong.

I lived upstate for a few years in the ‘70s. New York would be as lovely state if somehow SMOD happened to hit Albany and NYC.

New York is beautiful. I don’t know what SMOD means, but if it means less liberals, I’m for it.

Chicago is winterizing tents so the illegals can stay in them year-round. A permanent tent city to house dependent, unproductive populations.

30 years ago, +-, there was an earthquake in San Francisco. 3 people died from heart attacks. A week later, an earthquake of slightly less magnitude happened in Iran, and 30,000 died. That happened because their mud huts fell on them.

Maybe instead of tents, the sanctuary cities should put all of their pet illegals in mud huts. Then Chicago can wait for the New Madrid fault to act up again, and then have a mass burial
