New York City’s Democrat mayor Eric Adams is demanding more money from the state and federal governments as New York City is projected to spend $12 billion on illegal migrants by summer 2025. Because lawbreaking foreigners are always put ahead of citizens and legal immigrants in Democrat-run America.
“The immigration system in this nation is broken; it has been broken for decades,” Adams whined. Yes, thanks to you and your fellow Democrats. “Today, New York City has been left to pick up the pieces…We are past our breaking point.”
Shut up, Adams. You asked for this, and you continue to insist that you will not reverse New York’s status as a sanctuary city. The only people who deserve pity in the situation are the New Yorkers who didn’t vote for Adams. None of these illegal immigrants should be in the country and they absolutely should not be living off billions of taxpayer dollars. State and federal governments cannot even take care of their own people, let alone having to care for 100,000 or more illegal immigrants. In fact, Adams never seems to acknowledge that it’s not the federal government’s money he wants (the government has no money of its own, of course), it’s taxpayers’ money.
“[Politico, August 9] The $12 billion is the estimate by summer of 2025 if the flow of migrants continues apace with current numbers, Adams said. Administration officials had previously forecast that the cost would reach more than $4 billion by next summer. The new estimation of $4 billion annually for three years, is a significant portion of the city’s budget that is currently $107 billion. By comparison, the NYPD’s annual budget this year is $5.8 billion…
Nearly 100,000 migrants have arrived to the city since the spring of 2022, Adams said. While tens of thousands have moved on from the city, with new arrivals expected, the number of those remaining in the city’s shelters and emergency housing facilities could balloon to 100,000, Adams said…
Still, he vowed not to close the doors on those who need shelter…More than $140 million in federal funds have been allocated to New York City for the support of migrants…[NY Gov. Hochul] said the state budget includes $1 billion toward housing, National Guard assistance and legal services for migrants. She said she’s talked with state legislative leaders about an additional $1 billion in the next budget.”
I reported for PJ Media this week on protests from legal immigrants living in New York, over illegal aliens being housed in their recreation center.
Thousands of criminals come in with the influx of illegal migrants across the southern border every year, too, so expect more crime that was entirely preventable (for context, illegal aliens have committed 430,000+ criminal offenses just in Texas since 2011).
It’s always American citizens who suffer most from the Democrat-fueled illegal migrant crisis.
You asked for it, You got it! Toyota Stupid moron liberals defied Federal Immigration Laws and declared Sanctuary this and Sanctuary that to disrespect President Trump. Now they have what they cheated and asked for - Bidet. Suck it up, Buttercup.
Mayor Adams is unbelievable! New York City is broken alright but he refuses to reverse it's status as a sanctuary city.
