NEW YORK CITY, NY - New York City's government has no plans to stop the mass resettlement of new migrants in the city- most of whom are illegal aliens.
The administration of Mayor Eric Adams is seeking the reservation of 14,000 hotel rooms across the city- all intended the house freshly arrived migrants, at the taxpayer expense, according to the New York Post.
The city estimates that spending on migrant hotel rooms has cost the taxpayer a whopping $5.76 billion dollars since 2022. The city's Department of Homeless Services is the agency involved in the massive transactions.
“The New York City Department of Homeless Services is seeking to continue the City Sanctuary Facility program by procuring a vendor who can assist in acquiring the use of large scale commercial hotels and hotel management services to help address the current emergency," a spokesperson for the agency said of the giveaway to the mostly peniless migrants.
More than 200,000 migrants have arrived in the nation's biggest city since that year alone, according to the New York Times. The influx of migrants- most of whom lack workplace skills and are reliant on public support- has destabilized neighbors and even made pro-open borders progressives question their previous support for unlimited migration. Migrants have been incentivized by New York City's generous suite of benefits available for new illegals, and its staunch "Sanctuary City" policies.
"They're making them millionaires... Millionaires!" New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino said of the cash transactions- describing hotel owners who would benefit from a constant stream of migrant customers paid for by the taxpayer.
New York City is moving to close a tent shelter for new migrants on Randall's Island, with Mayor Eric Adams citing the city's progress in lowering the weekly amount of new migrant arrivals, according to Fox News.
"We’re not out of the woods yet, but make no mistake, thanks in large part to our smart management strategies and successful advocacy, we have turned the corner on this crisis," Adams said of the shelter closure.
"We’re not scrambling every day to open new shelters. We’re talking about closing them. We’re not talking about how much we’re spending. We’re talking about how much we’ve saved."
The arrival of illegal migrants on the southern border has the effect of significantly lowering wages, all the while raising housing prices in the form of rent, according to Center for Immigration Studies Director of Research Steven Camarota.
