NYC Mayor: The City is Full
New York City Mayor Eric Adams continues to reiterate how the illegal immigrant crisis is harming the sanctuary city, as he recently pronounced the city full. He told Fox Nation, “Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not. It's not like New York is not saying we are not a city of immigrants. We are. We have a rich history of immigrants, but we can't take the global problem and it become our problem. That is unfair to New Yorkers, and is unfair to migrants.”
Fox News reported:
Thanks to New York City's sanctuary city policies, Eric Adams faces a predicament – the city is bursting at the seams and is struggling to find places to house everyone yet - thanks to these policies - he is unable to hand migrants who are repeat offenders over to I.C.E.
Thanks to a "right to shelter" rule enacted in the 1980s, he is also legally required to house everyone.Sitting down with FOX 5 New York's Rosanna Scotto for an interview featured on the Fox Nation special, "The Sanctuary Trap," Adams pressed the point that NYC's resources are strained, and that everything has reached capacity.
"We're not just saying we're out of room as a soundbite. We're out of room, literally. People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets," he continued.
"What would it take for you to close the front door?" Scotto, who co-anchors ‘Good Day New York,’ asked.
Adams replied that he doesn't have the authority to tell people they can't come in, adding that, even if a migrant commits crime repeatedly, New York authorities are unable to turn them over to I.C.E.
