Eric Adams to house illegal aliens on Norwegian Cruise Line ship docked in New York
Post Millennial, Sep 30, 2022



New York City Mayor Eric Adams is nearing a deal with Norwegian Cruise Lines to house illegal immigrants on one of their cruise ships, where they would be able to come and go as they pleased until the city government could move them into a more permanent shelter system.

According to the New York Post, Adams plans to lease a ship for roughly six months so that border crossers being bussed to NYC would have a place to stay as they are processed. The big boat would be docked at Staten Island’s Homeport while it's in use by the city.

The cruise ship idea is expected to be less expensive than erecting another tent city. Adams is currently building a tent city at Orchard Beach in the Bronx to help with the influx of illegal immigrants and it is expected to cost $15 million.

Full-time facilities are at capacity and the city has opened 23 emergency shelters and there are still not enough beds for the arriving border crossers.

Mayor Eric Adams is finalizing a deal with the Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its massive cruise ships and dock it at Staten Island’s Homeport, The Post has learned.

Adams wants to lease the luxury liner for at least six months and use it to house and process migrants before they enter the city’s shelter system, a source familiar with the matter said Friday.

The migrants would be allowed to come and go while staying on the ship, the source said.

Preliminary estimates show the plan will be “cheaper” than erecting another tent city similar to the one the city plans to open in the Bronx at the Orchard Beach parking lot, the source said.

The tent city, now under construction, is expected to cost $15 million a month to operate, The Post exclusively reported last week.

In addition to the Norwegian Cruise Line deal, the source said City Hall was negotiating the possible use of another ship owned by the Estonian company Tallink, which was hired by the Estonian government to house Ukrainian refugees who fled their country following Russia’s invasion.

About 15,500 migrants have flooded into the Big Apple since May amid a surge tied to President Biden’s southern border crisis, according to the latest City Hall estimate.

Just wait till Covid or some other illness rolls through all the illegals on the ship, the lawyers will be as a plague of locusts descending on New York!

This is like the worst possible episode of "Candid Camera." Are we being punked?

A better plan would be after filling the ship set sail for Venezuela with stops in El Salvador and Guatemala.

You'll note this is to be docked at Staten Island, the most conservative area of NYC, and isolated from the rest of the city. No accident.
