The city is under new siege from the border as 800 migrants poured into the Big Apple in a single day in the past week — double the usual number — leaving officials scrambling to open even more shelters.
“New Yorkers are going to start to see visibly what being out of room means: We are out of room,” Mayor Eric Adams warned Tuesday ahead of his immigration-discouragement tour south of the border — including to the dangerous Darien Gap jungle of Colombia.
“We’re getting ready to take a real shift in this whole crisis,’’ said Adams — as the city prepares to add to the more than 200 emergency shelters it has already opened to deal with the migrant flood in addition to the state’s mega asylum-seeker housing sites.
“We’re going to tell them what the real conditions are,” he said of the message he hopes to peddle to wannabe migrants in countries such as Mexico, Colombia and Ecuador.
