Reports show over 100,000 illegal immigrants crossed the southern border and claimed asylum have come to the Big Apple, with nearly 60,000 migrants residing in publicly-funded hotels and shelters.
With no end in sight to the growing number of arrivals and faced with persistent pressure from the mayor, Hochul finally summoned the courage to publicly demand that Washington step up.
Mayor Eric Adams estimates the price tag for housing, feeding, transporting, educating and providing health care for the new immigrants will be an astonishing $12 billion over three years.With Adams demanding more than the $1.5 billion the state has pledged, and pushing the governor to force the suburbs to accept migrants, Hochul needed to look like she was doing something.
Although some 6 million largely unvetted people have crossed illegally from Mexico in the last two-plus years, she’s only concerned because the 100,000 known to be in New York City are a financial burden. But, as Adams notes, the city has opened more than 200 sites so far, and with thousands of migrants coming every week, each new shelter or hotel fills in days. Hochul recently got the federal government to allow a 2,000-bed shelter to be built at Floyd Bennett Field, a naval air station in Brooklyn that is located in the Gateway National Recreation Area.
Although classes start Sept. 7, a deputy mayor told The Post that decisions would be made “in the next two weeks.”
