NYC mayor says all boroughs will host migrants: 'No one gets a pass'

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that every New York City community would see asylum seekers in the coming days. "Staten Island and other communities, they are going to – everyone is going to see asylum seekers.

So, all the calls that I'm getting from elected officials, all the calls that I'm hearing from people of saying, you know, 'Please, not here…' That just can't happen.This is a citywide crisis and all of us are going to be impacted.

Staten Island is going to be impacted like the other four boroughs." On Friday, the mayor declared a state of emergency over the approximately 18,000 migrants being sent from southern border states since the spring, saying the demand being put on the city to provide housing and other assistance is "not sustainable." Adams said that the city expects to spend at least $1 billion by the end of the fiscal year on the crisis and that it would surpass the highest number of people in recorded history in its shelter system.

"But despite all this, our city’s response has been nothing short of heroic.
