The Mayor along with the usual gang of idiots

Mayor Eric Adams is opening another two big emergency migrant shelters as the southern border crisis continues to push New York City to its limits — and President Biden has still not jumped in to help.
One is set to open in Times Square’s vacant Candler Tower office building, which was once home to a 24-hour McDonald’s restaurant long billed as the busiest and most profitable of its kind in the US.
But the landmark fast-food joint was shuttered during the city’s COVID-19 lockdown in June 2020 and the building’s owner, UK-based investment company EPIC, reportedly signed over the deed in March 2022 to avoid foreclosure.
The other shelter will be located in a six-story commercial building at 455 Jefferson St, Brooklyn.
All but one of the 103 emergency shelters now being used to house migrants are located in hotels across the five boroughs.
Syed Hossain, an Indian immigrant who works at a newsstand on 42nd Street near the Candler Tower, said having migrants move in there would likely boost business but might also bring trouble to the tourist mecca at the Crossroads of the World.
“If there are protests or crime, people visiting from other countries won’t keep coming back to New York,” said Hossain, 49, of Queens. “If the immigrants behave and are nice it will not be a problem…If they are given jobs it will not be a problem. When they’re given everything and have nothing to do, that’s when you get problems.”

The Mayor along with the usual gang of idiots
Dumbass Indian. “Would likely boost business”?! The stupid must be excruciatingly painful.
Inmates running the asylum. Those 5 hotels will become brothels containing every disease possible. Embrace the suck New York democrats.
If there are protests or crime
IF?
Where has he been in the last 10 or 20 years?
Eric Adams, Joe Biden and "Woke" politics are finishing off what Andrew Cuomo,
Bill deBlasio, the COVID, ANTIFA and BLM hasn't already destroyed.
Only New York City could take 3rd world illegals (whose dreams were to have jobs in America) and turn them into disgruntled welfare cases.
The Times Square McDonalds was amazing... how the workers did as well as they did with a constant overflow of customers all loudly speaking a hundred different languages, I don’t know.
He’s technically correct; NYC is giving them spending money. Stores nearest the shelter *are* the most likely to receive increased traffic from the residents - he’s not stupid. He also points out the problem with the whole idea.
How convenient that ChiCom flu shutdowns emptied office buildings for an invasion of wetbacks to further undermine our economy. The establishment must just be giddy with excitement when things go so smoothly.
Low IQ America on display. Showing why this is no longer the same country that put man on the Moon and led the rest of the world for much of the 20th century.
A lot of money to be made fleecing taxpayers to fund this invasion
