Officials say the number of migrants arriving in New York City since the spring of 2022 has topped 112,000.
“‘This issue will destroy New York City … destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month. Now again, people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City.’”
Adams, a Democrat, cited these migrants as a financial burden and a factor for several rounds of budget cuts to agencies under his watch. “The city we knew, we’re about to lose, and we are all in this together, all of us,” Adams later said. “Staten Island is saying send them out to Manhattan, Manhattan is saying send them out to Queens, Queens is saying send them out to Brooklyn.”
Hochul also said New York City’s 1981 landmark “right-to-shelter” law, which in part gives protections to some people seeking beds and bathrooms, may need to be updated.
