I remember when Texas first started busing migrants to NY city so they could lead a better life and all the liberals thought it was so horrible to treat them that way. As it turns out they now pay their own way there because it is such a great place to be. They can get job in the underground employment market and NY city is legally obligated to find them and their family a place to live.
This has now become the go too place for migrants entering our country illegally. Or at least a great destination anyway.
Current NY City Mayor Adams Points of interest:
For Adams, the new arrivals have opened a fresh front in the public relations crisis over migrants, as public school parents led a series of protests over the use of school gyms this week. By Wednesday evening, migrants were moved out of a handful of gyms where they had been staying, mostly located in Brooklyn, although the city said that the plan to use about 20 gyms could be revived as needed for temporary overflow.
But Adams also threw up his hands at the seemingly endless merry-go-round of proposals, outcries and pivots. “Whomever is telling us not to go somewhere, I have one question for you: You tell me where we should go,” Adams said Wednesday.
“The number No. 1 question I’m asking everyone now,” the mayor continued, “Did you go to Washington to get us more money? What have you done for the migrants? And where would you like for me to house them?”
A few interesting numbers on NY and the situation
More than 67,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the crisis began. Of those, 41,500 people are currently being cared for by the city, Anne Williams-Isom, the deputy mayor for health and human services, said at a news conference Wednesday. She said 4,300 people had arrived in just the past week.
That new influx of arrivals has forced the Adams administration to contend with new layers of what was already a humanitarian and economic crisis that the city had spent $1 billion addressing so far, and may cost as much as $4.3 billion through June 2024
Migrants have come in a variety of ways, some with tickets they purchased themselves or with the help of nonprofits, some on buses chartered by other American cities or the state of Texas, and in recent weeks, more are coming via airplane.
Its a pretty good read on the situation: https://news.yahoo.com/crisis-grows-york-migrant-plans-180254428.html
