Mayor Eric Adams issues a stark warning, emphasizing that the migrant crisis is an imminent concern that will impact every neighborhood in the city. As available housing options rapidly dwindle, it’s high time for the mayor to take decisive action to curb the influx or, at the very least, relocate some of the migrants elsewhere.
The current situation at the Roosevelt Hotel intake center is alarming, with illegal migrants resorting to sleeping on the streets due to the lack of space. The city has reached its capacity and cannot feasibly accommodate 100,000 individuals who lack legal work permits, possess limited English proficiency, and generally have low skill levels.
Regrettably, the federal government is unwilling to provide significant financial aid or implement strategies to address the issue at its root. Mayor Adams’ request for expedited work permits has been met with inaction from federal authorities, which would further undermine the integrity of US immigration law.
Despite the city’s efforts to extend free shelter, meals, transportation, and even baby supplies (with some receiving additional luxuries like cable and video games), the resources have been stretched to their limits. However, advocacy groups such as Legal Aid and the Coalition for the Homeless, known for their left-leaning stance, threaten to take legal action if the mayor follows through on his promise to discontinue housing migrants. Consequently, the Roosevelt Hotel, the city’s largest intake center for migrants, has reached its full capacity, forcing individuals to sleep on the sidewalk.
It is important to note that the “right to shelter” lacks a statutory basis and has unfortunately become more of a detrimental agreement. Therefore, it may be advantageous to explore viable solutions for relocating migrants out of the city. Demonstrating the success of such efforts, a few dozen migrants have already been relocated to Florida, Texas, and even Canada. Perhaps it’s time to implement more decisive measures, even if they may create controversy. Redirecting buses carrying migrants back to their original locations may provoke intense criticism, but it could potentially yield more substantial results than the empty promises of a federal liaison.
President Joe Biden has already removed Mayor Adams from his re-election campaign due to the mayor’s expressed concerns about the migrant crisis, which he considers relatively minor. It remains to be seen how President Biden will respond when confronted with Mayor Adams actively refusing to be a scapegoat in this ongoing issue.
