NYC Mayor turning cruise ship terminal into migrant shelter, ‘our city is at its breaking point’

“Our city is at its breaking point” said New York City Mayor Eric Adams in reference to the overwhelming amount of migrants transcending upon the city. A plight southern border states have dealt with increasingly since President Joe Biden took office, the Big Apple is beginning to feel its own desperation.

Over the weekend, Adams announced that the city’s cruise ship terminal will temporarily be used as a migrant shelter and intake center to help address the unprecedented influx of asylum-seekers. “Our city is at its breaking point,” said Adams, who has requested federal and state assistance.

 “We continue to surpass both our moral and legal obligations and meet the needs of people arriving in New York, but as the number of asylum seekers continues to grow, we are in serious need of support from both our state and federal governments,” the mayor said.

The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal will house, provide food, medical care, and other services for 1,000 single men until the spring, the mayor’s office said in a press release.

National Review reports that so far, 41,000 asylum seekers have arrived in New York since April. Over 28,000 of them are being taken care of by the city, overwhelming the city’s shelter system. In response, the city has set up five “Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief” centers and has been using around 77 hotels as emergency shelters.

Mayor Adams attempted to build a center for migrants at a parking lot in the Bronx, but it was quickly shut down due to concerns of storm flooding. He also tried to build a complex of tents on Randall’s island, only for it to be closed three weeks later “after migrants failed to arrive.”

Is the Mexican President blackmailing the U.S.? $20 billion or ‘flow of migrants will continue’

Mexican President Lopez Obrador

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador doubled down on his attempt to blackmail the United States into paying billions of dollars, or else the “flow of migrants will continue.” A report at Fox News reveals that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador earlier “demanded a series of actions by the United States in order for him to try to cut off some of the millions of illegal aliens coming from Mexico into the United States across its southern border.”

Then just days ago, he said in an appearance on 60 Minutes that if the U.S. fails to meet his demands, “The flow of migrants will continue.” The report said Obrador, in recent weeks, has demanded that the U.S. give $20 billion a year to Latin American nations, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo and give legal status in America to the millions of Mexicans who already have entered illegally.

“Mexico has reportedly taken some state-level action to curb mass migration at President Biden’s request, making crossings drop, however, the number of migrants began to rise again in February, with Border Patrol expecting another surge in the spring,” the report said.

WND reports that the Interviewer Sharyn Alfonsi asked, “Everybody thinks you have the power in this moment to slow down migration. Do you plan to?”

He responded that the “root causes” must be addressed.

“Your critics have said what you’re doing, what you’re asking for to help secure the border, is diplomatic blackmail. What do you say?” Alfonsi asked. He later seemed to contradict himself, confirming that even if those things don’t happen, he will continue to try to help secure the border because the relationship between the nations is important.
