Mayor Adams says Biden’s inaction on migrants will ‘decimate’ NYC

Mayor Eric Adams issued a dire warning to President Joe Biden, cautioning that the lack of federal funding to help the migrant crisis will eventually “decimate” the Big Apple — which serves as the “economic engine” of the country.

Adams slammed border states for creating a “funnel” to New York on “CBS Mornings” Thursday, saying, “New York City is the economic engine of this entire state and country. If you decimate this city, you’re going to decimate the foundation of what’s happening.”

That foundation finally began to crumble earlier this month as dozens of migrants were left sleeping on the streets of Midtown outside the intake center at the Roosevelt Hotel because the city had no beds to provide them.

“What you saw at Roosevelt a few days ago, is because the dam finally burst,” Adams said Thursday.

Hizzoner’s stern warning to the White House comes hours before he is set to sit down with one of President Biden’s top aides, Tom Perez, who serves as the director of intergovernmental affairs at the White House, The Post has learned.

The meeting also follows Adams’ jaw-dropping cautioning that the projected price tag to house and provide social services for the asylum seekers could hit $12 billion — and that another 60,000 could join the roughly 100,000 who have trekked to the five boroughs so far.

The city has been allotted around $140 million from the Biden administration and Gov. Kathy Hochul included $1 billion for the cause in the recently passed state budget.

Adams’ administration has also been challenging the city’s Right to Shelter Law, which requires the city to provide shelter to anyone with no place to call home in the boroughs.

Even so, hundreds of migrants arrive in the Big Apple daily, many fleeing to the US to seek refuge from violence, dictatorships, and economic turmoil in South America, Central America and the Caribbean, while others have come from as far as Africa.

More than half, an estimated 57,000, of the recent arrivals remain in the city’s care, staying in a web of roughly 200 emergency shelters, mega-relief centers and smaller, short-term respite facilities.

City Hall says the daily tab for the operation already runs to $9.8 million — $3.6 billion annually, as long as the numbers don’t continue to swell.

Adams has warned that the current trend could mean as many as 100,000 could be living in city facilities by June 2025, potentially growing the annual tab to $6.1 billion.
