Recent reports have revealed that the number of illegal immigrants entering New York City has skyrocketed, with an estimated 95,000 migrants arriving since spring 2022.
This influx has caused a great strain on the city’s resources and funds, leaving officials scrambling to find ways to accommodate all of these newcomers.
To this end, some politicians have proposed an unconventional solution – housing illegal immigrants in Central Park.
This idea has been met with considerable pushback from both residents and news organizations alike. Mayor Eric Adams stated plainly that “from this moment on, it’s downhill. There is no more room” when discussing the overcrowding issue facing NYC today.
Despite his statement, local politicians remain adamant that all options are still “on the table” for finding viable solutions to the crisis at hand.
“Everything is on the table,” Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom said Wednesday at a press conference, according to Bloomberg.
The city is reportedly looking at 3,000 locations for possible housing relief.
Hundreds of migrants have already been seen sleeping on city sidewalks due to a lack of space in public accommodations such as hotels and shelters – oftentimes on pieces of cardboard or other makeshift bedding materials – creating extremely unsanitary conditions throughout certain areas across NYC.
There is also concern over how much money would be needed to fund such large-scale housing projects inside one of New York City’s most iconic parks, given its already limited financial resources for existing programs like healthcare and education initiatives for citizens within its borders.
According to The Gothamist, the tent facility is expected to be up and running by autumn of 2022. This information came from a source who wanted to remain anonymous after being briefed on the plan.
The New York Daily News reported that soccer fields on Randalls Island would be used as housing for migrants, a plan which caused local stakeholders to become outraged because their facilities would no longer be available.

When asked for more details such as a time frame for relocation or who was developing this plan, city officials remained tight-lipped.
This has prompted Deputy Mayor Phil Thompson to make public statements regarding the influx of 2,100 migrants per week into New York City.
Ted Cruz responded on Twitter:
“Come to South Texas. We’d LOVE to have only 2100 per week. (At over 7m under Biden, we’re looking at over 50,000 per week…..)
How about just rounded them up and sending them back from where they came from. Secure our borders so they can’t come through any other way then the Port of Entry, legally. Why is this so hard for Biden to do????
Biden has been paid off by Mexico AND democrats believe they can get amnesty and more voters. It is corruption at the highest level of our government and likely will take a revolution to change.
Send them all to Delaware…they can guard the Documents Joey stole
Brandon wont do it because these are going to vote for him!. Many of these are animals and have been coached to destroy everything in America. they will be rewarded somehow with housing, educ. health, phones, etc. on taxpayers backs.
“How about just rounded them up and sending them back from where they came from.”
Good idea. And if they resist- send them into a wood chipper, feet first.
While Joey sits on a Delaware Beach and the Veep makes rambling inane statements and giggles
Of course, Dems and the MSM do not mention that the flood of illegals is the result of Biden’s refusal to enforce immigration laws. they just rant that Republican governors are using immigrants as political stunts.
Meanwhile, the Biden crew is still moving hundreds of plane loads of illegals all over the country.
LOL, you always have to think things through before you invite everyone in the world in; it’s just that easy. Libs are really stupid.
You can’t have an open door policy or blank check handout offer in the Real World and that is exactly what the mentally deranged Liberals along with Xiden have done; and its only starting to cost us all as we now have the ripple effect coming on strong which is inevitable and deadly! Wait till tens of thousands of American Citizens start dying from incurable TB or other communicable diseases along with terror attacks, rape and murder! But then thanks to the libtards and Xiden it will be too late!
How funny is this? NYC had no problem when AZ, TX, and other border states get over run with illegals but when they get a small taste of what these other states go through daily they whine and cry. How about they pull up their big boy and girl panties and either demand the border get secured or shut up and keep taking in the illegals they want to allow into our nation. NYC needs to deal with it like they demanded the border states do.
Exactly KC! But these liberals are detached from reality whiners, that aren’t about to admit they’re totally wrong on this and so many other things, so they can then take ownership of the problems they cause, which any good responsible American Citizen should and would do! But they are not responsible or good citizens! Maybe they should take the migrants and go with them to the countries they are fleeing from; and stop trying to destroy America with their crazy leftist agendas!
I got a great idea for you New York idiots keep fighting Democrat and stay a sanctuary City because we’re going to send you $500,000 more illegals keep them buses rolling into New York with all the illegals they love them
GOOD!!! They need to send another 100,000 in. they thought leaving the borders open was so great, they can support them!!
The bleeding-heart-hippies and Leftists at the top, thought letting all this 3rd world trash into the country was the humane thing to do. NOT! Humane for who??? Not the Legal, U.S., Tax-paying citizens who get to foot the bill.
Do they appreciate any aid we try to give them. No. You put this 3rd world scum into 5-star hotels and they just trash them. You give them food and they throw it away. You give them welfare and they fritter it on drugs and alcohol. They prowl around on the streets looking for someone to rape and murder or break into businesses. They spread diseases and they hate you thoroughly.
Are these 3rd worlders any better off now than they were before? No. Most are sleeping on the streets. What will happen in the Winter when it’s 50 below zero with 5 feet of snow?? No way will I take them in. They shouldn’t be here and they’re not all fleeing persecution. They’re just freeloading parasites. Send them to the DemoRats houses or send them back across the border or…… hang ’em.
Liberals/Progressives/Democrats are so “ME, ME, ME” oriented and SELF-CENTERED, until a policy affects them DIRECTLY, they are full of such “compassion” and “virtue signaling”. Declaring themselves to be “SANCTUARY CITIES” until they experience any painful results is the epitome of their disgraceful actions.
Transporting illegal migrants to their states, cities and communities forced SANCTIMONIOUS SANCTUARY CITIES and STATES to experience the results, even to a truly small degree, paid by long suffering by border states. Even then, LIBERALS want MORE FEDERAL MONEY to PAY to reduce the inconvenience, rather that reinitiate effective border control!
I am a voting Texan and I applaud Gov Abbott’s action in sending these illegals to blue states. Adams is an astonishing example of hypocrisy, initially criticizing Texas for opposing illegal immigration and making New York a “sanctuary city.” Then Abbott started sending the illegals to New York and boy, did that lying hypocrite Adams start howling and whining. I wish Abbott would send a couple of million of these illegal invaders to your malignant cancer of a city, and to other democrat ran cities. The reason for this is the Marxist imbecile democrat Biden, and that is where Adams and his ilk should direct their ire.
Don Baker; 100% on point!
America is a third world country, and no one can help us.
