With city-killing costs for migrants, Adams must demand feds close borderBy NY Post Editorial Board
August 9, 2023
The newest budget numbers on Gotham’s migrant crisis are out — and they’re grimmer than anyone could have imagined.
And they make it all too clear: A mere infusion of money isn’t going to solve this problem.
The costs will only keep ballooning; New Yorkers will have to keep sacrificing. Endlessly.
That is, unless Mayor Eric Adams shifts gears, demands a full closure of the border — and in the meantime rescinds the automatic right to shelter, at least for illegal immigrants, and begins sending them elsewhere.
Adams unveiled the new projections Wednesday showing the overall tab for sheltering, feeding, clothing and providing medical care for illegal migrants rising to $12 billion by the end of fiscal 2025.
