New York City Mayor Eric Adams has publicly stated that financial strain caused by the influx of migrants to New York will end up destroying the city.
“Mass immigration will ‘destroy’ New York City unless something is done about it, Mayor Eric Adams has warned. Speaking at a meeting in Manhattan, Adams said the city was being overwhelmed by migrants from all over the world and faces a $12 billion budget deficit.
The most populous U.S. city is taking in more than 10,000 migrants a month, according to Adams. While most of the newcomers in previous years originated from central and south America, the more recent arrivals included ‘Russian-speakers coming through Mexico’ and people from western Africa, Adams said.
‘Every community in this city is going to be impacted’, the mayor added. ‘We have a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut – every service in this city is going to be impacted. All of us’.
According to Politico, the city spent $1.5 billion last fiscal year on housing and services for migrants, while getting $140 million from the federal government.
Nearly 60,000 migrants currently occupy beds at the city’s homeless shelters, according to the New York Times. An estimated 20,000 of their children are expected to start attending the city’s public schools this week.
Adams once insisted that New York was a ‘sanctuary city’ for illegal immigrants. In April this year, his office proudly announced ‘Immigrant Heritage Week’, celebrating the arrival of 11,000 settlers to Ellis Island in 1907.
The ‘We Love Immigrant New York’ campaign would continue into Immigrant Heritage Month in June and 'affirm and celebrate the contribution of all of our immigrant communities and our status as the ultimate city of immigrants', Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Manuel Castro said at the time”. -RT
The intrinsic principles behind the utopian platitudes of equality and diversity are irreconcilable with properties such as quality and stability.
Which is why the source of the actual crisis at hand is, nonetheless, directly linked to mass legal immigration, as the fundamental predicament facing American cities derives from the growing overall numbers of foreigners rather than the illegality of the migration process itself.
