Mayor Eric Adams’ agreement, announced Friday, to limit the time migrants can stay in shelters at taxpayers’ expense, is smoke and mirrors. It’s designed to fool you into thinking he’s solving a problem when he’s actually caving to the migrant industrial complex.

Adams claims the agreement, with the Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless, will allow the city to evict adult migrants from city-run shelters after 30 days, saving taxpayers money and limiting the need for more shelters. Not true.


The fine print says migrants have a shot at staying longer if they obtain a driver’s license, follow shelter rules and show good behavior, or — get this one — apply for public benefits. And this is a “non-exhaustive” list of reasons making migrants eligible to stay longer.

The agreement also applies only to single adults. A staggering 78% come with children and get priority placement in hotels. The city currently spends a whopping $387 a night for food and a roof alone for each family, and shells out more money for free medical care, education and legal services. This agreement does zero to alleviate those staggering costs.

The deal dooms New York City to fiscal disaster, because it will continue to be the No. 1 destination for migrants seeking a free roof over their heads. The Big Apple is now Migrant Central.

Worst of all, nothing in the agreement empowers the mayor to evict troublemakers who have repeat run-ins with police. The migrants who beat up cops in Time Square were living in shelters, courtesy of taxpayers, and already had long rap sheets.

When troublemakers are arrested and give a shelter address, the shelter should be contacted and told they no longer qualify. Why should taxpayers be footing the bill to house criminals?

Notorious gangs like Tren de Aragua and MS-13 recruit from the shelters. How convenient that taxpayers pay to house these gangs’ lackeys.

In October, Adams imposed a 30-day limit on adult migrants but wound up in court when Legal Aid and the Coalition challenged. A long negotiation ensued, ending with Friday’s agreement.

Since 1981, Legal Aid and the Coalition have fought successfully to impose a “right to shelter” on New York. Now these two self-appointed guardians of the downtrodden — not elected by anyone — insist that the “right” applies not just to New Yorkers but anyone from anywhere in the world who wants shelter here. That’s crazy.

After months of negotiating, Adams capitulated. No one at the table was looking out for taxpayers or New Yorkers who see their services being cut and their neighborhoods disrupted by the proliferation of shelters. The multibillion-dollar shelter industry came out a winner, but Joe Public got shafted.

As the agreement was announced, Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom praised the “right to shelter” and Legal Aid Society for the work they do. They’re all in bed together.

Josh Goldfein, a Legal Aid attorney, explained that despite the settlement, “no migrant would be left out on the streets.” In fact, the agreement bans the city from even making migrants sleep overnight in chairs while waiting to be placed, imposing stricter shelter requirements than before.

A “right to shelter” for anyone who shows up on Gotham’s doorsteps means New Yorkers who want sanitation services, police and fire protection, and other city amenities go to the back of the line. Their services get cut to pay for sheltering migrants. Adams needs to battle aggressively, up through the highest courts, to get that “right” reexamined.

Only New York has a “right to shelter,” and it makes the city the top destination for migrants. New York City spends more than 10 times as much as Los Angeles per migrant and more than five times as much as Chicago.



Better do something for these people,they are getting upset with the government.


Illegal Immigrants Protest In The Streets Of New York For Being Forced To Move Locations “Migrants are refusing to get on buses taking them to another 4 star hotel. They’re tired of moving & want a permanent home”

They chant “We want a permanent home!! This is unjust!” “(Illegal) Migrants are now protesting in the streets due to being moved from a Manhattan hotel.

Migrants are refusing to get on buses take them to another 4 star hotel stating that they are tired of moving and that they want a permanent home.

Some migrants refusing to board the bus to Brooklyn, saying they are tired of the constant moving and chanting they want a permanent home.

Do you approve inviting all these people into such an unjust situation?

Want to bet it's still there,over crowded and we've been paying for it?
Never said it didn't exist. You usually post something that has a thread of truth, covered in a bunch of lies. Look at the references to "illegal". Probably refugees waiting on their time for processing.

I'll call them whatever you want.How about Extra Burdens?

When will you guys ever prove that real people aren't seeing any wrong doing anywhere,everyday?
Just because the "State News" doesn't report it.Doesn't mean it's safe to ignore and dismiss because it's not on your list of sources.

honestly don't even know why i waste my time...

"extra burdens"? like all the states in the US that take more money from the federal government than they contribute? those "extra burdens"?

ok, ok, you're talking about immigrants. you don't seem to retain information well, so once again here's the truth... we need immigrants. we have a lot of open jobs that require, you know, workers. including a lot of jobs that americans just don't want to do. because they're beneath them and/or just don't pay much. guess who is willing to do those jobs? IMMIGRANTS!! they are willing to work their asses off for a better life. they APPRECIATE those jobs that americans don't want to do. we cut off immigration, our economy declines. simple as that.

please go ahead and find one single person who doesn't acknowledge that our immigration system is broken. of course you can't. but politicians don't have much incentive to actually fix it. hell, one party was just handed everything they wanted and they still voted against the bill just so they could use immigration as a political cudgel in november.

so all these people (yes, it's difficult for you to remember, but they ARE human beings) who flock to the united states for a better opportunity and/or because they are fleeing violence would prefer to come here legally. makes sense, don't you think? but, again, the system is broken. and most of these people can't stay where they are for another 5-10 years, hoping our system will get fixed.

anyway, all they want to do is work and make a better life for themselves and their children. horrible, just horrible. so the sooner they can work legally, the sooner they can pay taxes and, you know, contribute. immigrants have a higher rate of starting up businesses than americans and, despite what you are repeatedly told, they are less likely to commit crimes. even though they have almost nothing to start with.

When will you guys ever prove that real people aren't seeing any wrong doing anywhere,everyday?
wtf are you even talking about? you wanna talk about people committing crimes... your candidate for president has 91 felony indictments (maybe a few less now?) and a civil conviction for sexual assault. he used the office of the president to enrich himself and his family (ivanka's patents in china... saudi arabia's $2B gift to jared...). he encouraged his followers to attack the us capitol and did nothing for hours while the mob wanted to hang his VP. crimes, crimes, crimes. but y'all say it's just a witch hunt. meanwhile, republicans have been digging for dirt on joe biden for years now, AND CAN'T COME UP WITH ANYTHING. so yeah, who exactly isn't seeing "any wrongdoing anywhere, everyday"?

it's funny you talk about "state news" because legitimate media has been under attack from trump since day one. there is one party that would LOVE to only have propaganda disseminated to the masses. look at russia and hungary. led by two of donny's favorite dictators. ain't much freedom of the press there.

Oh it's real nice to entice these people here and they end up on drugs,forced into crime(use the old definition) or end up in sex trading. Not really shangralah is it?

Put our people to work.Having people on government programs instead of working makes the economy decline too. Why do we need replacements?(more burden)

You can't tell me there isn't a good number of people coming here to exploit and abuse our kindness.Take the chilean crime gangs for example,that come here on vacation,rip us off blind and take in the sights.

There is dirt on Biden but when FBI,DOJ and media is running interference for you it can be easily ignored for a long time.

Which leds us back to Trump. What exactly at was so offensive to you and what do you think will really happen if he's in charge again?
Would he be taking us closer to nuclear war? Would he clean up an immigration mess? Could it be you're afraid of the wrong guy?

False. They come here, they take jobs most would never take, which keeps our prices low, and they commit crime at a much lower rate than US citizens. Demonize them all you like, it doesn't make it so.

If the Republicans would help reform the immigration system so it didn't take 6 months to a year to have your case heard, maybe people wouldn't have to sneak in.

Trump is a buffoon and yes, he does put us in jeopardy of nuclear war. Much more so than a sane person. He has no respect for the rule of law and will use the office to benefit him, and him alone. He inherited a great economy and crashed it. He didn't deliver on his campaign promises and his economic miracle added trilions to the debt. He is a complete fuck up.

"offensive" to me? i don't really get offended. he's a huge piece of shit who has been a con man his entire life. he's been in trouble with the law his entire adult life and has only avoided jail time due to the army of lawyers he employs.

he's a fucking idiot who has failed at everything in his life until he was put on the apprentice. he bankrupted a casino, for fucks sake. trump university... trump water... trump steaks... fail, fail, fail. cons, every single one of them.

he's dumb (and thin-skinned) enough to keep bragging about passing a cognitive test designed for people with traumatic brain injuries. seriously, who the fuck does that?

still to this day, he doesn't have a clue about how the world works. he admires dictators. he doesn't believe in a free press. hell, he's a big enough of a spineless weasel to actually mock a disabled reporter. he mocks gold star families. he calls those who died for our country "losers" and "suckers," while he avoided the draft.

he bragged about sexually assaulting women. "when you're famous, they let you do it." and somehow y'all think it's a big conspiracy when he's actually found guilty of doing exactly that in a civil trial.

he wants to get us out of NATO, which has been wildly successful at maintaining peace in europe. hell, he recently invited russia to attack NATO countries, for fucks sake. you know how many times NATO has actually invoked article 5? once, after 9/11. NATO helped the US.

he is clueless enough to actually think tariffs will help us. not sure if you understand how they work, but ultimately consumers pay more. pretty simple economic fact.

he's a huge national security risk. sharing state secrets makes him feel important. and his mountains of debt and willingness to be bribed make it very likely that he'll compromise our interests and put more americans in harm's way.

but don't take my word for it. last i knew, 16 of his former cabinet members are on record saying he isn't fit for office. it would be noteworthy if ONE former cabinet member said that. SIXTEEN. like it or not, they are not RINOs. these are all people trump liked enough to serve on his cabinet. SIXTEEN. so he's either a TERRIBLE judge of character, or there is a serious problem there. take your pick.

see how this works? you asked me a question, and i replied. feel free to let me know which of those you disagree with. really, any single one of those should disqualify anyone from the oval office. and that's just a short list.

and what you don't seem to notice when it comes to joe biden... every single time republicans accuse him of something, there is absolutely zero proof. they've been trying to dig up dirt on him since, when, 2019? 5 years now, and still not one single shred of proof that he's corrupt. so, once again, either...

joe biden is a criminal mastermind

joe biden is a bumbling fool, but smarter than all the republicans who have been trying to pin anything on him for 5 years or

joe biden is not corrupt.

There’s something terribly wrong with our country when people who enter it illegally are receiving more help than deployed service members and their families.
There's something wrong when people don't know this difference between illegal and waiting on a broken process Republicans refuse to fix.

There's something wrong with people who have the traits of a narcissist.
