Thousands of migrants who illegally crossed the US’s southern border recently and claimed asylum are enjoying a slew of free perks in New York City.

Mayor Eric Adams — warning that the Biden administration’s border policies could cost the city more than a mind-boggling $1 billion because of the influx — has begged the White House to help the Big Apple bear the burden, to no avail.

Here are some of the benefits that come along with being an asylum-seeker in the Big Apple.

Courtesy of the city:

* Lodging, including rooms at the $300-a-night, three-star Watson Hotel in the heart of Manhattan, with private bathroom and shower, or communal living for single men at the newly opened Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook.

* Three hot meals a day, including rice, meat and beans and “snacks between meals like cookies,’’ a migrant at the terminal told The Post on Tuesday.

* Transportation, including daily free MetroCards good for two rides from sites such as the Watson. At the more isolated Brooklyn terminal, there is a free bus offered to the Barclays Center downtown, and every person receives a daily round-trip ferry ticket.

If not for free stuff, there wouldn't be any illegal migrants.

"If not for free stuff, there wouldn't be any illegal migrants."

Keep believing that if you wish.

But if you took EVERYTHING away from them tomorrow, at least 80% or more would stay right where they are.

Because even after you take it all away, that 80% are STILL probably in better shape here, than they were in the places they left...
