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.

And this is just one city giving billions of dollars in freebies to people that aren’t even allowed to be here!!

Extremely unethical and also very illegal, but democrats say illegal aliens are above the law.

Those stupid enough to stay will pay the price. Those who leave will take their unfortunate voting habits with them and ruin their destinations.

When they put illegals in 5 star hotels, you know that they have to over pay to get these hotels to accept the the imposition of illegals in the rooms.
