New York City Mayor Eric Adams said the city has reached its 'breaking point' as 400 asylum seekers arrive at the Big Apple every day.
Adams has submitted an emergency mutual aid request to the state and Gov. Kathy Hochul asking for immediate help over the weekend to house the incoming migrants.
'We are at our breaking point,' Adams said. 'Based off our projections, we anticipate being unable to continue sheltering arriving asylum seekers on our own.
'Our initial request is for shelter to accommodate 500 asylum seekers, but, as New York City continues to see numbers balloon, this estimate will increase as well.'

I guess being a sanctuary city isn't all it's cracked up to be. Send some to Martha Vineyards.

You wanted it, you got it, deal with it. Put them all up in $500/night hotels and include room service and free booze. These people are the future of our country. Disease-ridden, totally uneducated, manual labor skills only, poor even in their own country and guess what, even poorer here. But they will all vote democrat and that is your party base, so cater to them if you want to keep them voting D.

At a rate of 400 arrivals a day, Adam’s and his sanctuary city have been lucky, as Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats by way of their “open borders” and “catch and release” unlawful political schemes have allowed several million illegal aliens into the USA. Adam’s should be as pleased as punch as coincidentally the vast majority of the Third World origin illegal aliens who Biden and the leftist Democrats have allowed into the country in violation of the immigration laws passed by Congress are poor, socialist oriented, and generally uneducated and no doubt will comprise a new permanent underclass across the USA. Coincidentally those millions of incoming illegal aliens also fit within the minority demographics categories of “woke” Democrat identity politics. Clearly Biden and the leftist Democrats believe that by using the fraudulent guise that the vast majority of those illegal aliens, recently referred to by Biden as being analogous to the Jewish people who fled Nazi persecution before and during the Second World War, in itself a ridiculous statement, are just about all therefore eligible for asylum in the USA, and therefor must be allowed to enter the USA in unlimited numbers because “that’s who we are”. In addition Biden wants the Congress to grant the entire 20+ million illegal alien population that has been sojourning in the USA for various lengths of time a Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty that would grant that population group first a legal immigration status, and then U.S. citizenship with US voting rights believing that the vast majority of those legalized foreign born people would embrace the socialist oriented Democrat political agenda, and would help keep the Democrats in permanent political power on into the future.
Unless they are completely stupid the Republicans who now control the House of Representatives will not appropriate any money to assist in implementing those Biden and leftist Democrat plans to ultimately change the electoral and population demographics of enough of the country to the future permanent favor of the leftist Democrats. In other words Adams and his naked city should be made to finance and manage their sanctuary city caused illegal alien population increase and costs at the local level. Also look for the leftist Democrat NY Governor to start transporting loads of illegal aliens out of New York City and dumping them in cities and towns all over New York State.

No sympathy. Texas has taken the brunt of this problem. Time to spread the problem around. I hope NYC gets even more immigrants on a daily basis. NYC - the problem can easily be fixed. Close the border, pack them up , and send them back. They are here illegally. Problem solved!

This sounds more like a refugee crisis, but we know it's not since the Biden Administration tells us the border is secure and has no problems.

Gee, I thought NY was a sanctuary state. I also thought that NYC was a sanctuary city. What's the problem kids, you are getting what you want. This is why I, and my entire family, left the state of NY many years ago and escaped to the free state of Florida. Thank God we did.

When we get in a bind down south (with people fleeing a hurricane), we ask the churches and the arenas to house people. Why are they trashing their high end hotels?

What happened to the big tent shelter with the couches and tv's they built ? Spent a bundle and then closed it? This is all such a sick joke but the taxpayers will always end up footing the bill - that's a reality!

The breaking point for NYC occurred sometime during the deBlasio years but people continue to accept a standard that is well below average for a once-thriving city. It used to beautiful, classy and a standard for restaurants and entertainment, now it's a center for crime, vagrancy and general misery but most residents are convinced otherwise or they wouldn't vote for idiots like Adams, Nadler and AOC.

Eric, may I suggest that you send them all to Delaware? There are 3 mansions there which could take them in. And now that the classified documents are no longer in the garage, several cots could be set up next to the Corvette.

400 illegal aliens arrive in NYC EACH DAY?! OMG!! That's nothing for a self-proclaimed sanctuary city, and even less compared to the MANY HOURS over 400 illegal aliens arrive EACH HOUR at some border crossings!

Cities like NY crowed and boasted about being sanctuary cities, puffing their chests out and signaling to the world how virtuous they were. Well, now, thanks to the intellect of some border state GOP governors, NYC has put themselves in a position where they must take all of these illegals in order to back up their boasts. There is nothing a progressive hates more than reality.

Since NYC prides itself on being a sanctuary city, what is their complaint? They are only getting hit with a tenth of what small Texas boarder towns have been getting hit with for over a year now. And, they have gotten no help from the Biden administration. Live with it. That’s what you demand of the small Texas and Arizona boarder towns.

If they were REAL asylum-seekers they would have stayed in MEXICO. They ARE in fact TOOLS for the Progressives to
Break the American safety net system. Those like the “Big Guy” who break our laws to promote illegal immigration are giving the finger to America - they WANT chaos conflated with “humanitarianism.” They are counting on nobody objecting to their nation being overrun by permanent dependents and criminals. The politicians who DID this will lock themselves away in wealthy.gated communities while the rest of us will fall victim of crime perpetrated by people who have no skills besides demanding something from you.with a weapon in their hands. Progressivism IS a sickness.

To solve the mass uncontrolled illegal alien situation all Biden and the leftist Democrats have to do is effectively administer and enforce the immigration laws that were constitutionally passed by Congress. Instead Biden while pursuing the “woke” progressive Democrat political agenda and has unlawfully created what amounts to his own unconstitutional immigration laws consisting of “open borders”, “catch and release” and other politically based policies that encourage and invite more and more illegal immigration, especially from the undeveloped Third World, with almost all of those incoming illegal aliens being poor, socialist oriented, and generally uneducated people who coincidentally fit within the minority categories of Democrat identity politics.
Biden and the leftist Democrats believe today’s incoming illegal aliens, after being granted a series of Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesties and legalization programs, will transform in huge numbers to future leftist Democrat supporters and voters who will embrace the “woke” progressive and socialist Democrat political agenda thus keeping the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats in controlling and permanent political power. Biden has recently advised that he considers the incoming Third World illegal aliens, who he has unlawfully been allowing to gain illegal entry to the USA in unlimited numbers, while fraudulently claiming they are all eligible for asylum in the USA, because he considers them to be analogous to the Jewish people who fled Nazi persecution before and during the Second World War, so today’s potential unlimited illegal alien influx must be encouraged and allowed to gain entry to the USA because “that’s who we are”.
Common sense with tell you that Biden’s statements are ridiculous, as over the years such illegal aliens in immigration court settings have been found to have unlawfully entered the USA to make a better life for themselves and their extended families actually as illegal economic migrants in that they were looking to get hired to American jobs the USA, that are not legitimate reasons under the asylum and immigration laws for grants of asylum in the USA, grants that are limited by the law to foreign people who have been victimized by political persecution.
Under the immigration laws that Biden has been ignoring, just about all illegal aliens who unlawfully cross the borderline are actually subject to immigration enforcement protocols and be removed (deported) from the USA. Clearly Biden and the leftist Democrats are all for expending unlimited mass uncontrolled illegal immigration using all sorts of fraudulent claims and guises with the intention of permanently changing both the electoral and population demographics of the country to what amounts to a minority-majority population situation to where a vast coalition of minority groups, of both domestic and foreign origin, who favor the “woke” progressive Democrat political agenda permanently control USA politics in a one political party transformed Democrat run socialist utopia. Clearly the 101% partisan political Biden and the leftist Democrats would not be allowing such a massive migration of foreigners into the USA to become future conservative, or Republican supporters and voters, that’s for sure.

He is whining because of 400 illegals?? Adams needs to sit down and take a number. Given the hundreds of thousands that have poured over our southern border for decades, 400 in a city the size of NYC is nothing. Our border states have more right to complain and whine about the destruction and crime than NYC does.
