Port Authority volunteers enticing asylum seekers with free bus tickets to leave NYC
New York has slyly figured out a way to get rid of asylum seeking migrants. The Big Apple, which claims to be a progressive and liberal city has created a program to give migrants free bus tickets to get them out of town.
The City outlet reports on the scenario occurring at New York City’s Port Authority:
Around three dozen migrants stood inside a barricaded area in the north wing of the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, aided by a host of volunteers and National Guard members on Wednesday afternoon.
According to volunteers, the migrant individuals had already been driven to New York on commercial buses “or from entry points other than the bus terminal — all of them there seeking help at what’s become a sort of unofficial resource center for migrants.”
The volunteers help provide meals and clothing to the migrants that are “gathered in the cordoned-off area, a kind of resource space, to exchange requests and information with each other and aid workers.” The City reports that the outlet “received a vague response from New York City Hall when asked exactly which person or what entity was paying for the Port Authority’s program of relocating migrants.”
Instead, they were referred to an old statement made in November: “In New York City, asylum seekers will continue to be greeted with the compassionate care and dedicated support needed to meet them where they are and help them get where they want to go,” read the 2-month-old press release.
“No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, D.C., today’s budget will only be the beginning,” said New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams about his decision to make budget cuts as a result of the overwhelming migrant crisis.
However, those who will suffer from budget cuts to the city’s services to offset the cost of dealing with the ever-increasing number of migrants are those that are in place to make the city better.
“The cuts will see police freeze hiring and bring the total number of police officers below 30,000. It would further slash the education budget by $1 billion over two years and affect a litany of other agencies” reports Just The News.
Albeit, Adams admitted: “In all my time in government, this is probably one of the most painful exercises I’ve gone through.” More than 110,000 migrants have arrived in New York City over the past year, including roughly 13,000 sent from Texas by GOP Governor Greg Abbott as part of his ongoing bussing plan to send new arrivals to the U.S. to sanctuary cities.
However, similar to other leaders of sanctuary cities, Adams is unwilling to put his money where his mouth is. In September, Adams warned that the crisis would “destroy New York City” and begged the federal government to pay for his mess.
“I’m gonna tell you something, New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this,” Adams said at the time. “The federal government needs to do its job. We need the federal government, the Congress members, the Senate and the president to do their job: close the borders,” said Adams’ advisor Ingrid Lewis Martin insisted in early October. “And until you close the borders, you need to come on with a full-on decompression strategy where you can take all of our migrants and move them through our 50 states.”
