Mayor Eric Adams believes the raging migrant crisis will destroy New York City, saying he doesn’t see an end in sight as the city received over 110,000 migrants since last year.
“I’m gonna tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this.” Adams saidWednesday night. “This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City.”
“Started with a madman down in Texas who decided he wanted to bus people up to New York City,” referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who bussed illegal border crossers to New York and other liberal cities beginning in April 2022. A large majority of New Yorkers share the mayor’s feelings on the crisis as 82% say it is a serious problem for the city while 58% want to stop the flow from the southern border.Texas has sent over 13,000 migrants to New York, according to data shared by Abbott earlier this week.“110,000 migrants we have to feed, clothe, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets, give them everything they need, health care,” Adams said.
