NYC migrant crisis could soon cost $12B: Mayor Adams

New York City’s surging migrant population is set to double by June 2024 – meaning the city will be on the hook for 100,000 homeless migrants – as costs are estimated to rise to a high of over $12 billion over the next three years.

“We are past our breaking point,” Adams declared in a dire address at City Hall on Wednesday, a day after the mayor pleaded with the feds and everyday New Yorkers to help mitigate the crisis.

Right now, the city spends a nightly average of $383 per 25,600 asylum seeker households – including families with kids, adult couples and singles – for housing, food and other services, according to officials.

That means the city spends $9.8 million each day and $300 million per month combined.

“With more than 57,300 individuals currently in our care on an average night, it amounts to $9.8 million a day. Almost $300 million a month and nearly $3.6 billion a year,” the mayor said.

Tough sh*t, Mayor.  Go woke, go broke.  Maybe you should reconsider supporting the democrats for federal office?  Maybe you should reconsider being a member of the party that wants to drown your city in illegal aliens?

Just raise taxes.  Problem solved.

Don't ask for us to pay for YOUR screw-ups, especially the ones in DC.

Hmmm... could things get so bad there that Adams would abandon the office and resign?
But... but...  who's the deputy mayor?

No matter.
Because whoever comes after Adams will be... worse.
Seems to be the pattern lately in the blue cities.
