NYC to distribute flyers warning immigrants to stay away.
New York City Mayor Urges Immigrants to Consider Other Cities
New York City Mayor Eric Adams made a significant announcement on Wednesday, revealing a new initiative aimed at immigrants arriving at the city’s border. In an effort to manage the influx of immigrants, Adams plans to distribute flyers discouraging them from relocating to New York City.
“There is no guarantee that the city will be able to provide new arrivals with shelter and services,” the flyer states. It goes on to suggest that immigrants consider other cities when deciding where to settle in the United States.
This move is part of Adams’s broader plan to limit the amount of time immigrants can stay in New York City’s shelter system to 60 days. Currently, the city shelters immigrants under its right-to-shelter law, which Adams’s administration is challenging in court to exclude single adults.
Addressing the Immigration Crisis
According to Adams, the city has already provided shelter for over 90,000 immigrants. However, with more than 54,800 asylum-seekers still in their care, the mayor emphasized the need for additional support from state and federal partners.
“For more than a year now, New York City has responded to this crisis alone — we need our state and federal partners to step up,” Adams stated during a press conference.
Adams’s plan aims to intensify casework services for adult asylum-seekers over the next two months, ensuring that they can progress on their journey while freeing up beds for children and families.
Controversy and Mockery
Unsurprisingly, Adams’s announcement drew criticism and mockery from Republicans. The official GOP Twitter account sarcastically referred to the flyer as “not very progressive of them.”
Despite the backlash, Adams remains committed to his plan. Under the city’s right-to-shelter law, individuals have been entitled to housing for as long as they need it. However, Adams’s new directive will require individuals to reapply for their spot after 60 days, prioritizing shelter beds for families and assisting single adults in finding alternative accommodations.
The right-to-shelter law has been in effect since 1981, obligating the city to provide housing for every homeless person who seeks it.
