Quote:New York City’s public hospital system, NYC Health + Hospitals, plans to spend more than $90 million to provide temporary housing for migrants in four hotels in Midtown Manhattan until spring 2023. The move is in response to the migrant crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.

The New York Post reports the system’s CEO Mitchell Katz has approved payments of $40 million to the Row NYC hotel, $28 million to the Stewart Hotel, $20 million to the Watson Hotel, and $5.8 million to the Wolcott Hotel. However, this decision bypasses standard oversight procedures for city government contracts.

Last month, workers at the Row NYC reported throwing out nearly a ton of food everyday because the migrants living there wouldn’t eat it. A hotel employee named Felipe Rodriguez blew the whistle, alleging that the hotel had become a “free-for-all” of sex, drugs, and violence. The planned $93.8 million in spending by NYC Health + Hospitals follows an agreement signed on October 13, 2022, for the hospital system to manage and operate what Mayor Eric Adams calls migrant “Humanitarian Response and Relief Centers,” or HERRCs.

Approximately 47,600 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2021, with almost 30,000 living in 95 taxpayer-funded shelters, including the HERRCs. Mayor Adams has refused to detail his spending on the migrant crisis, which the city Office of Management and Budget recently estimated will total $4.2 billion through mid-2024.

I used to believe that we (as a society) would eventually reach a point where the political class would finally yield to the wishes of ordinary American citizens, and take control of our national borders. I don’t believe that anymore. No matter how much money and other resources get wasted, no matter how many people get hurt or killed, they simply don’t care and they’re never going to get serious about it.

Won't be enough money Texas is still sending the illegals to NYC among other large northern cities.

Glad they are addressing their issue. Good luck with that.
