Room for rent? New York mayor willing to pay homeowners to house migrants

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.

“Young, attractive female “migrants” will be in high demand as potential tenants by predators. Just sayin’.”

Young, attractive female migrants are already assigned their “place of residence” before leaving Mexico.

Does anybody remember Telly Savalas-Battle of the Bulge? He was using his apartment to raise chickens with his business partner who was beautiful. Classic love scene.

What could possibly go wrong with this idea?

He could lead by example.

How many spare rooms does HE have to house migrants in?

It won’t be long now, they’ll be requiring people to quarter immigrants in their homes.

It’ll start in NYC but it won’t stop there.

Anyone considering providing rooms to the current crop of "migrants" should read this article about what has happened to a large New York hotel that tried it.

Right, and when the illegals start dealing drugs out of your house without your knowledge, the government swoops in and confiscates it from you.

Isn’t there an anti-quartering law?

Or is that only about American troops and not about foreign troops?

First there is the “Willing” Phase. Soon, it won’t be optional.

No Constitutional right is "absolute," right, Biden?

Just suspend 3A!
