Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has just issued an urgent warning over the national border crisis as New York City has now become overrun with illegal aliens.
Adams stressed with a sense of urgency that New York City has now run โout of roomโ due to the flood of migrants.
The mayor is warning that the escalating border crisis is engulfing not only the Big Apple but other major cities across America.
โOur hearts are endless, but our resources are not,โ Adams warned.
โItโs not like New York is not saying we are not a city of immigrants. We are.
โWe have a rich history of immigrants, but we canโt take the global problem and it become our problem.
โThat is unfair to New Yorkers, and is unfair to migrants.โ
Thanks to NYCโs โsanctuary cityโ policies, Adams faces a predicament as the Big Apple is bursting at the seams.
Officials are struggling to find places to house all of the illegals and are spending billions in taxpayer funds on doing so.
However, thanks to these โsanctuary cityโ policies, Adams is unable to hand migrants who are repeat offenders over to I.C.E., meaning the city is experiencing a theft and violent crime surge.
Thanks to a โright-to-shelterโ rule enacted in the 1980s, Adams is also legally required to house everyone.
Sitting down with FOX 5 New Yorkโs Rosanna Scotto for an interview featured on the Fox Nation special, โThe Sanctuary Trap,โ Adams pressed the point that NYCโs resources are strained.
He revealed that everything has now reached capacity.
โWeโre not just saying weโre out of room as a soundbite,โ he continued.
โWeโre out of room, literally. People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets.
โWhat would it take for you to close the front door?โ Scotto asked.
Adams replied that he doesnโt have the authority to tell people they canโt come in.
He added that, even if a migrant repeatedly commits crimes, New York authorities are unable to turn them over to I.C.E.
โThe law states that we cannot notify I.C.E.,โ he said.
โI cannot break the law and enforce the law. I canโt deport.
โI canโt stop people from coming in, repeated criminal behavior, I canโt report to I.C.E. for deportation.
โSo thereโs certain things I canโt do.โ
Adams explained, however, that challenges to the right-to-shelter rule are in progress in the court system, saying, โWe stated that it wasnโt meant to be for migrants and asylum seekers.โ
Meanwhile, news buzzes around the crippling effects of the migrant crisis on the New York City area as resources are stretched thin.
Gangs of migrants are roaming the streets and engaging in violent altercations with NYPD officers.
In one instance, high school students were temporarily forced to shift to remote learning so that migrants could take shelter inside their school.
