Metro NYC migrant crisis costs will crack eye-popping $5 billion on shelters, security and food — amount could double by 2025 By Carl Campanile and Haley Brown Published Aug. 13, 2024, 8:07 p.m. ET
928 Comments The financial hits from the migrant crisis keep on coming.
New York City has likely surpassed $5 billion in spending on services for migrants — including nearly $2 billion alone on housing the scores of new arrivals flooding into the Big Apple, according to city data.
The eye-popping figures, listed on the city’s online asylum-seeker funding tracker, shows the city overall spent $4.88 billion combined through fiscal years 2023 and ‘24. Based on the rate of spending, the city likely exceeded more than $112 million since the start of the new fiscal year beginning July 1, or will soon, cracking $5 billion.
Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has even projected the cost could double, hitting $10 billion over the three year period ending June 30, 2025.

They should have allowed Trump to build the wall.
What do they care?
It’s only taxpayer money.
Send the bill to the United Nations.
Italians, Irish, Jews, Russians, Chinese, Dutch, Germans, etc.
Just think of all of the pot holes that could have been filled with that money.
I don’t care where you live, pot holes is always a tax paying voter issue.
Greg Abbott is a genius.
They voted for it.
When the various previous legal immigrant groups came to NYC how much did they cost the taxpayers?
Greg Abbot should double up on the bus loads.
A Total waste of money , welfare for the world
So, ~80k per illegal... Wow!
Likely already eaten by immigrants...,
Don’t see the point of u
Your comment but, back then you needed a sponsor in most cases to come over.
In addition. They needed to show that they were not infected with some deadly illness. So, they were quarantined.
If you had no proof of various things, you got put back on a ship and sent back.
The slang term WOP, which meant mostly Italian, stood for “without papers” and meant most went back.
The slang term for Jewish was the Yiddish for circle.
Those who had a sponsor, had an easy time of it.
If they arrange for illegals and immigrants votes counting we may very well b outnumbered with the hoards still coming in and racing to the border before the election.
BTW....Harris is running not for our country but the hoards coming in.
Roll’n, Roll’n, Roll’n keep them busses roll’n. EEEEHAW!!!
Section 1324 title 8 makes it a federal felony to encourage illegals to live here. That means no freebies.

Good for the communist-new-yawkus! Send more and more and more, Governor Abbott!
The locals will tell their citizens that the Federal government will pay for this. The dumb masses will not understand that money is fungible
In Biden/Harris immigration bill was a whole lotta cash for the NGOs and local governments. The Cargo Cult will wait
