With Title 42 set to expire in the coming days, even liberal sanctuary cities are terrified of the assuredly doomed results.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams says that the projected number of migrants expected to come to the city could be detrimental to public resources that current New York taxpayers rely on.
According to Fox News, the annual โState of the City's Economy and Financesโ report released Thursday by the city comptroller projected $1 billion annually in spending through 2026 to cover housing, education, food, and other resources for migrants.ย
โOurย shelter system is full,ย and we are nearly out of money, staff, and space. Truth be told, if corrective measures are not taken soon, we may very well be forced to cut or curtail programs New Yorkers rely on, and the pathway to house thousands more is uncertain,โ Adams said in a statement Sunday. โThese are not choices we want to make, but they may become necessary, and I refuse to be forced to choose new arrivals over current New Yorkers. I'll say it again โ we need a plan, we need assistance, and we need it now.โ
In the past several months, New York City has already receivedย more than 31,000 asylum seekersย and currently has open 60 emergency shelters, four humanitarian relief centers and two welcome centers. Thousands of migrant children have been placed in schools. The mayor admitted the city โspent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars paying to cloth, feed, house, and support this deeply in-need population.โ
โThe flow of asylum seekers to New York City has slowed in recent months but the tool that the federal government has used to manage thoseย coming over the borderย is set to expire this week, and we have been told in no uncertain terms that, beginning today, we should expect an influx of busses coming from the border and that more than 1,000 additional asylum seekers will arrive in New York City every week,โ Adams said. โWe are in urgent need for help, and it's time for our state and federal partners to act โ especially those in Congress who refuse to provide the financial resources or issue temporary work authorizations necessary for these individuals to live properly.โ
โAnd while the New York federal delegation has repeatedly advocated for funding to be sent back to New York City, many in Congress โ both Republicans and Democrats โ have refused to lift a finger,โ the mayor said in a statement. โThis can't continue. With the expiration of Title 42 just days away, we need the federal government โ both in the administration and in Congress โ to share their plans to move asylum seekers to other cities, to allow asylum seekers to work, and to send aid to the cities that have borne the brunt of this crisis.โ
Title 42 was enacted by the Trump administration in 2020 to help rapidly expel migrants from the border in an effort to stop the spread of COVID-19. A recent federal court ruling found immigration officials can no longer turn back asylum seekers, the policy is scheduled to expire Wednesday despite shelters along the U.S.-Mexico border already packed with thousands of migrants.ย
Last week California Governor Gavin Newsom also warned that repealing Title 42 could โbreakโ the Golden State. Some experts have predicted the end of the policy could bring around 50,00 migrants to the border.
On Sunday, Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, told CBS's โFace the Nationโ that the border city of El Paso is in a โdireโ situation with Title 42 set to expire.
โWhat is happening is it's aย hurricane of migrants,โ Gonzales said.

U wanted them so Here They Come
OK
As sanctuary cities are now finding out………………..
Woke proclamations have consequences.
Hope they get thousands more sent to their Illegal harboring treasonous cities so they can implode and take all of their communists traitor scum with them.
So, in order to take care of the illegals that have invaded our country, one of the big blue cities has stated that they will reduce services to the citizens to take care of the illegals. Could anyone be surprised by this action? Typical of the left wing radicals, they talk the talk, until it actually effects them. Then all bets are off.
Byond insanity.
Oh By Gosh By Golly! Who would have thought?!
So ILLEGAL immigrants can take away gubment services from registered taxpayers? What’s wrong with this picture? What’s wrong with Eric – a whole bunch.
Financial aide? You mean more of working class tax payer dollars? No thanks. How about securing the border and sending the illegals back to their own country. I’m sure their country would be happy to give them financial aid.
eric adams wanted them, so prepare for a smorgasbord of them coming soon to your neighborhood soon. this man is in dire need of a frontal labotomy…
Idiot mayor should stop feeding, clothing, housing, and medicating illegal aliens and let them GO AWAW!
Mr. Goblin Nuisance, YOU and the fools who elected you have broken the Golden State.
What a time to be alive. We get to witness history in the making. Front row seats to the collapse and total destruction of our society. All of it self inflicted.
