1 year agoNot really. When 200k people show up at your doorstep with their hand out what do you expect. The math isn’t that difficult to understand - it’s probably going to eat up $7 billion out of the budget over 1 year. Adams has tried to dissuade the tide of “asylum seekers” but it’s out of his hands. He doesn’t control the border.
Stark denialism if you think somehow that Adams’ politics are the reason for this. Where is the $7 billion supposed to come from to pay for something like 200k (or more) people who have been thrown into his care? We all knew it would lead to this, but all you want to do is deny that there are consequences for acting like NYC is one big charity to the world.
