Mayor Adams warns NYC faces cuts in key services as 1,000 migrants a week set to arrive: ‘This can’t continue’

[Gary Rich 261]

New Yorkers should brace for more than 1,000 new migrants arriving every week as well as cuts in critical city services as a key Biden administration policy on immigration expires this week, Mayor Adams warned Sunday.

State and federal government officials have “mostly ignored” pleas from the city for money and support to cope with asylum seekers in desperate need of help, the mayor said in a statement.

 

( This can become a problem for everyone )

That does not sound unreasonable, and NY has had a lot of notice to prepare.

I just had a thought as well.. it seems to me that people whom is crossing the border and walking right into customs and borders patrol for processing.. I wonder if they are getting a back ground check ?  ( I hope you see where im going with this )

Sounds unreasonable to me.  
 

The Democrat party campaigned and promised to flood the country with migrants and I don’t recall  that it campaigned and promised to provide cities funding to cope with that promised flood of migrants.

 

Voters voted for this policy last month.  
 

So Mayor Adams’s request is unreasonable.  His residents voted for this and so his city will have to pay for the migrant flood out of existing city tax revenues.
 

If he isn’t up to the task he can resign. The will of the people must be obeyed.

I should clarify 1,000 a week is not unreasonable, that is only 50,000 a year. Give or take.

yes but.. that's only one city.. my point is that, this could be one of the problems with backlog as well... because those people do have to get processed one way or another

That would be dealt with by the asylum office and many by the court, probably looking at a decade plus. Who knows?

Mike can clarify; I interpreted his comment to mean "voters voted for the party (or candidates) that support the lenient-entry policy."
