New York City Mayor Eric Adams proposed Monday that New Yorkers accept illegal immigrants into their private homes and get paid for it.
“It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence,” Mr. Adams, a Democrat, said Monday during a City Hall press conference. “There are residents right now who are suffering because of economic challenges. They have spare rooms.”
He said if the city can figure out ways around legal restrictions on such a move, “we can take that $4.2 billion — $4.3 [billion] maybe now — that we anticipate we have to spend and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday New Yorkers, everyday houses of worship instead of putting it in the pockets of corporations.
Following up on the latest effort to place a growing number of migrants in houses of worship, the mayor said he wants to go beyond that solution by paying local homeowners and landlords.
He said moving asylum seekers into private homes would be a progression from housing single migrant men in 50 churches, mosques and other houses of worship across the five boroughs.
“We should be recycling our own dollars,” he said.
The city has received more than 72,000 migrants since last spring, with more than 45,000 living in 160 taxpayer-funded emergency shelters and hotels, the New York Post reported. Last week, the city recorded 2,200 new arrivals.
“We need to be clear, this is not sustainable with the inflow that we’re receiving,” the mayor said.
Mr. Adams said his administration would need to “find a way” to get around city government rules that typically bar the city from housing homeless people in private homes.

Would be interesting to see how many suckers, I mean takers there are.
First there is the “Willing” Phase.
Soon, it won’t be optional.
And once you let them in, you’ll never get rid of them.
Young, attractive female “migrants” will be in high demand as potential tenants by predators. Just sayin’.
Because they'll get rid of you.
You quite likely won’t need to get rid of them.....they may very well get rid of their host first, if you know what I mean. Instant home ownership after a little time squatting.
I’m betting you don’t get to refuse at some point.
All the more reason to send more of them up there. Let them experience the consequences of their voting good and hard.
Let’s see how many open border liberals step up and offer to house some of these illegals.
“you don’t get to refuse at some point.”
What is not prohibited .. is mandatory.

Plenty of room at Gracie mansion. Right err-ick?
It would be an open invitation to them helping themselves to all you have, including family members.
New York City Council issues new Quartering Act for city residents.

Send them to Westchester. They can build a tent city on the golf courses and pay the clubhouse to cater.
How much for each Illegal per night?
