EXCLUSIVE: Not in my back yard! Furious residents of smart Bronx neighborhood slam Mayor Eric Adams' plan to house 1,000 illegal immigrants in TENTS close to idyllic beach and upmarket country club
Eric Adams revealed plans to open two refugee-style camps for the thousands of incoming migrants
One of the sites will be in Orchard Beach, in The Bronx, but the location of the second hasn't been confirmed
Residents of the area around Orchard Beach told DailyMail.com they are outraged by the plans
Many accused Adams of being a hypocrite for not housing the migrants in his own neighborhood
A local pastor said: 'The Bronx has very little space. We have Van Cortland Park but there is no place like Orchard Beach... This is unfair to the people that utilize the beach'
Adams has claimed the plan is a moral triumph over Texas and Florida, which he claims turned their backs on the issue
The vast majority of the migrants say they want to come to New York, a sanctuary city where their chances of being turned in to ICE are slimmer
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas' Greg Abbott sent them duly north - to the outrage of Adams and others
Republicans say it calls the bluff of the rich liberal elite who claim to be pro-immigration without living through the true scale of the crisis

Outraged residents of a smart Bronx area have lashed NYC Mayor Eric Adams' plan to house 1,000 illegal immigrants in tents in the parking lot of a treasured local beauty spot.
Over the next few weeks, the migrants will begin to be housed in tents in a parking lot in the Orchard Beach section of the borough, next to waspy Westchester County.
According to the mayor, this is part of the city's response to the humanitarian crisis created by thousands of migrants flooding into New York.

But this is EXACTLY what you voted for. Idiots.

Surely there's room in Westchester.

Where's the national outrage, Democrats? Afraid to turn against your most powerful local official, a man of color and member of your own party? Where are the threats of human trafficking charges?
Oh, wait. It's partisan BS, as usual.
