NYC seeks 14,000 hotel rooms for migrants through 2025
Story by Dominic Yeatman For Dailymail.Com • 6h


Beleaguered New York Mayor Eric Adams has been told to get a grip as the bill for housing the city's migrants soars towards $2.3 billion.

City Hall is warning that 14,000 hotel rooms will be needed until at least the end of next year when the total cost of providing for the new arrivals will reach a staggering $5.76 billion.
 
More than 200,000 migrants have arrived in the city since the start of 2022, many bussed north by GOP governors determined to make Democrat cities share the burden of the crisis on the southern border.

And more than 150 hotels are still being used to house the influx at an average cost of $352 a room each night.

It is so thoughtful of NY to provide such nice accommodations to people who are here because they broke our laws.  In almost any other country they would be provided jail accommodations. :whistle:
