Adams declares 'state of emergency' over migrant crisis

[Gefn]

Mayor Eric Adams on Friday implored federal and state officials to help address the continued arrival of asylum seekers in the five boroughs, declaring the influx a “state of emergency” set to cost the city more than $1 billion.

More than 17,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city since April, most of whom are “adults who cannot legally work in this country,” Adams said at a news conference Friday morning.

Officials expect to spend “at least a billion by the end of the fiscal year on this crisis,” the mayor said.

A state of emergency for New York...Texas, Florida, New Mexico not so much. Here in California the governor and democrats(damn them all to hell) don't consider it a state of emergency, they consider it an opportunity.

Keep up the good work, Southern governors.

The Northeast Limousine Liberal NIMBY's won't recognize the Border Crisis until it becomes their Border Crisis, too.

Hours after Mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency over the ongoing flood of migrants into the Big Apple, airplanes carrying dozens of unaccompanied teen asylum seekers reportedly arrived in New York with little to no advance notice.

Two planes each carrying about 24 unaccompanied minors arrived at Orange County Airport in Montgomery around 6 p.m. Friday, County Executive Steve Neuhaus told NBC New York.

Upon landing, the kids were put on shuttle buses and sent to locations in New York City, Kingston and Poughkeepsie, according to Neuhaus. Both the buses and flights were chartered by the feds.

Neuhaus, a Republican, said the federal government should be doing much better job managing the crisis and be more transparent about its relocation operations.

Messages left with Neuhaus and the mayor’s office Saturday were not returned. ...

What is the Biden administration doing, just releasing children onto the streets to fend for themselves?

Indeed. Practically a coup. Never thought in a million years it would work out this well.

Migrants bused into New York City have been walking through the streets of a Staten Island neighborhood asking for food, clothes and work after they were put up in hotels there.

The migrants — many not ready for the colder temperatures of the Big Apple — are staying at a property in Travis-Chelsea that includes the Staten Island Inn, Holiday Inn, and Fairfield Inn and Suites Marriott, sources and workers told the Post.

The Staten Island Inn is completely booked with migrants, one worker claimed. The Holiday Inn Express was expecting another drop-off at some point Saturday night. ...

“They were dressed for 100-degree weather,” he said, also stressing their lack of warm clothing.  ...
