At an Upper West Side town hall meeting Wednesday night, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) expressed his concerns over the open borders migrant crisis under Joe Biden’s administration.
“I have never encountered a problem without seeing its eventual resolution,” he said. “As far as this issue is concerned, however, I don’t see an end in sight; it could very well destroy our city.” He went on to emphasize that there is a real danger of losing the city we know and love.
Adams stated that the city has been providing assistance to 110,000 asylum seekers who have arrived since April 2022 and is now accommodating 10,000 per month from various parts of the world through its open southern border.

Excerpt from Gothamist report this week on the migrant crisis in New York City:
More than 110,000 migrants have arrived in New York City over the last year, now arriving at an average rate of 2,400 a week, according to the Adams administration. The ongoing crisis began in part when governors from southern states started sending asylum seekers to major northern U.S. cities, largely run by Democrats. Now, nearly 60,000 migrants are in the city’s shelter system, officials said.
Two buses arrived at Port Authority on Wednesday morning, with four more expected by early Thursday, according to Power Malu, an activist who has been assisting migrants arriving at Port Authority.
…In a statement Wednesday, Mayor Eric Adams again pleaded with the federal government for more help in dealing with the crisis.
“The transition of this site into a new humanitarian relief center at Austell Place is an important next step in our efforts to do our part, but, as we’ve said month after month, only more support from our state and federal partners and real policy change in Washington will truly address this crisis,” Adams said.
One local news station reported that Adams is moving migrants around the city as he struggles to deal with the crisis:

Don’t say we didn’t tell you so….
ICYMI: Feisty House Rep Forces Border Chief to Destroy Democrat Narrative on Border
Mayor Adams needs to shut up. He was all for allowing illegals to invade the western states but now that HE has to deal with it things changed. May he be blessed with a few thousand more.
Eric Adams says it could very well destroy our city. Too late meathead, you and the democrats before you have destroyed your city. The sorry part is that it will never change, democrat after democrat just like Chicago.
Want to fix the problem?? QUIT VOTING DEMOCRAT!!!
Your are so right ONLYJB, but those who are determined to remain on the Democrat plantation and vote Communist Democrat are the brainless idiots who are afraid to vote Republican out of fear they’ll lose their free Fruitloops, etc.
Hey Adams Have you reclassified NYC as NOT a sanctuary city? No well you have invited the illegals to come in. Be careful what you wish for.
The guy is a blinkin’ idiot. The dementia patient has allowed 7,000,000 illegal aliens or more than 2% of our entire population to illegally barge through our southern border. For NYCity, that would be about 200,000 people. Adams has only had to deal with about 100,000 so far. His fair share, and communist democrats are always concerned with the ‘fair share’, is twice what he’s already had to deal with. So, Adams, sit down, shut up, and find a way to deal with twice what you’ve already gotten.
satanists IDiOCY is pandemic, Injected in the PUBIC Gulag Drag Queen Kollages & Per verse IT TITTIES! TAX SUB sid ized !
This is what sanctuary cities wanted. I am from Arizona, and while you were welcoming illegals to your city, I was wondering “is this guy crazy or what?” While people in Arizona were wanting borders and wanted Trump to build the borders he spoke about, we listened to you raving and hollering how terrible that was, how inhuman that was, that we were prejudice, and horrible people. You know nothing, instead of investigating what is illegal migration in USA. You just spoke out of ignorance. Now that your eyes are open, it is already at your front door.
Your absolutely correct on that statement EVELYN.
