Eric Adams now says that they are planning to spend 4.2 billion dollars on migrants and the amount is expected to grow even larger.
I guess the 4.2 billion is a little down-payment for the Big Apple on these "migrants".
I hope that Republican governors Abbott and DeSantis can send more buses and cause that amount to "expected to grow even larger" become larger than Democrat Eric Adams can ever dream of.
Absolutely pathetic that billions of dollars is being allocated for "migrants", when NYC already has a large homeless population. What about their needs for shelter? Send the migrants home on a one-way plane.
Abbott and DeSantis have done a fabulous job of helping these folks. Keep sending them to NY where they’re being welcomed and cared for. Plenty of room there after all with folks fleeing the last few years and continuing to do so
Well, maybe he's harkening back to the rich history of immigrants in the US, that MADE the US, coming through Ellis Island, NY.
It was the immigrants processed through Ellis Island that created the incredible country that we are today.
Maybe he's trying to lay claim to that rich tradition again.
Those weren’t the folks that created the country.
Other than shipping them somewhere else he doesn’t have much choice on what to do with them…as they cost taxpayers billions every year, and even more as millions have come in the last few years.

Maybe he's making a point, is what I'm saying.
So here's a recent thing. My city, Austin, was hit with a horrid ice storm a couple weeks ago, and SO MUCH of our green canopy is broken limbs either on the ground, or hanging up in the air, called "widow makers". It's awful. Broken trees on the ground, broken dangerous trees in the air threatening to fall on people and kill them.
You know who's driving around in a truck hauling a makeshift trailer and chainsaws? And wood chippers?
Mexican men, who don't speak much English. For cash. 500, 1000, 1500 bucks they'll take care of your problem.
The city? You can call and schedule a pick up, weeks or even months out.
This country was built on people who wanted to better their lives, and were willing to work HARD, even 7 days a week sun up to sun down.
And it sounds like New York City, Ellis Island, is still open to welcome them.
Myself, I'm really hoping Jose comes back tomorrow to haul off more downed trees. This crew came from Houston, and they're sleeping in their trucks between working really hard for $$$.

Lol. The folks that came to Ellis Island weren’t the ones that created the country.
How do you know these workers are legal, or do you promote illegal workers likely not paying taxes working for cash? There’s obviously legitimate businesses to hire versus scheduling with the city.
He has no choice on what to do with them unless he ships them out. On the bright side there’s a lot of room since so many have left the state with their tax revenue. On another downside, they’re costing taxpayers billions.
