Adams declares State of Emergency in NYC after migrants overwhelm city

New York City Mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency Friday over the influx of migrants into the Big Apple and estimated it will cost $1 billion to provide them with shelter space and social services.

Adams finally called on the mayor of El Paso, fellow Democrat Oscar Leeser, to stop sending busloads of migrants that as of this week accounted for more than 42% of the arrivals.

Hizzoner made the announcements in a speech at City Hall in which he declared that the influx of migrants from south of the border had stretched the city’s social-safety net to its breaking point and pushed its shelter population to an all-time high.

“New York cannot accommodate the number of buses that we have coming here to our city,” Adams said in a speech at City Hall.

Hmm - Adams is racist? I guess you never know.

17,000 recent NYC migrants cost $1 billion. That's 60k for each migrant(minus the 90% overhead).
What if we gave all 4 million new migrants 60k each and deported them to anywhere they want except the US.

So you propose we give 240 billion dollars to all 4 million new migrants.

Each migrant will just use that 60K to come back to the USA through smuggling.

When they are back here, do you propose to do it again? Again and again? Repeat the cycles until the Fed money printer catches fire and burns the country down? What is wrong with you, lol!

In the UK our strange new Conservative (right) government is proposing to encourage immigration by unskilled potential workers so that they will be able to do unskilled jobs to help the economy grow.

This is strange economics. The immigrant workers will not be temporary migrant workers, they will be permanent residents. As such they will have the right to bring in elderly and young dependents from any other country they name. Culturally, they also have much higher birth rates than the British population. High birth rates suggest high demands for healthcare, and education and demand for larger public housing units from unskilled low-wage parents who cannot afford to buy or rent privately. High birth rates amongst unskilled worker families implies increasing numbers of unskilled teenagers looking for work a few years into the future. It seems hard to believe that the UK economy will continue to grow exponentially, demanding larger percentages of unskilled employees.

Its also strange politics. The majority of conservative voters wish to see less immigration, not more. All the while, the majority of immigrant voters and their offspring prefer to vote Labour (left).

You make some good points. The reality is the changing demographics in the U.S. and western countries will require more immigration. Simply to keep our economies and benefit systems afloat.

I expect in 50 or 60 years the U.S. will be in the position of urging Hispanic immigrants from Mexico and Central American countries to come to the U.S. In many ways these people would be excellent additions to our economy; they work hard and over time fit in culturally.

Despite all the right-wing villainizing these immigrants currently -- the reality is that very few of them are criminals -- most are hard-working decent people who want to come to the U.S. for improved economic opportunity and to escape violence back in their countries.

The U.S. needs full immigration reform. We should put programs in place to give these immigrants a Visa if they can fill a job role that adds to our economy.

We should also require these immigrants take English lessons (paid for by the government) so they can integrate in our society and are not treated as second-class residents.

Immigration is good but it must be legal. The current approach of Democrats is suicidal.

Hard to understand why illegal immigrants don't receive a life-time immigration ban.
