New York: New York City Mayor Eric Adams has warned that the ongoing migrant issue will eventually destroy New York City.
He said the city is getting 10,000 migrants a month.
Fox News quoted the New York Mayor as saying: “Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City,”
Adams said during a Town Hall meeting on the Upper West Side on Wednesday.
“We had a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut. Every service in this city is going to be impacted. All of us,” Adams said. “It’s going to come to your neighborhoods. All of us are going to be impacted by this. I said it last year when we had 15,000. I’m telling you now with 110,000. The city we knew we’re about to lose. And we’re all in this together.”
Adams placed blamed on Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s operation busing migrants from the border to self-declared sanctuary jurisdictions. But the federal government also relocates migrants from the border to elsewhere in the U.S, according to Fox News.
On Tuesday, the Texas governor said his state government has bused more than 35,000 migrants to self-declared sanctuary cities, including more than 13,300 to New York City since August 2022.
