Mayor Eric Adams says Biden’s migrant crisis has ‘destroyed’ NYC

Mayor Eric Adams raged on Friday that the ongoing surge of migrants into the Big Apple has “destroyed” the city — as he delivered his most impassioned plea yet to the Biden administration for help dealing with the flow of immigrants into the city.

Hizzoner, who earlier this week blasted the White House for turning its back on NYC, sounded the alarm on the multibillion-dollar cost to the Big Apple budget during a visit Friday to Washington, DC, where he plans to press the administration for federal aid.

“The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis,” a distressed Adams said before his scheduled meeting, during a panel discussion hosted by the African American Mayors Association.

He also took aim at other elected Big Apple officials in his remarks, saying: “And none of my folks came to Washington, DC, to fight for the resources that’s going to undermine every agency in our city.”

Adams didn’t mention that city Public Advocate Jumaane Williams had traveled to DC on Wednesday to ask federal officials for additional migrant funding aid.

The mayor’s fiery claims came ahead of a string of closed-door meetings with White House officials and Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell, where he was expected to map out the migrant crisis.

Adams’ showing in DC comes after he ramped up his criticism of the Biden administration for refusing to provide additional fiscal relief — even as the Big Apple stares down the barrel of a $4.3 billion crisis that has forced the city to house more than 56,000 migrants in more than 100 taxpayer-funded shelters.

As recently as Wednesday, Adams took aim at Biden, as he accused the White House of abandoning the city and triggering “one of the largest humanitarian crises that this city has ever experienced.”

“The national government has turned its back on New York City,” Adams said. “Every service in this city is going to be impacted by the asylum seeker crisis.”

Speaking alongside three other Democratic mayors of major cities during the DC panel, Adams on Friday boasted that he would have been credited for the Big Apple’s biggest-ever financial turnaround — if it weren’t for the extra billions having to be forked over for the migrant crisis.

“If you removed the $4.2 billion that have been dropped into my city because of a mismanaged asylum seeker issue, you [would have] probably witnessed one of the greatest fiscal turnarounds in the history of New York City,” he said.

Hizzoner recently ordered city agencies to slash $4 billion from their budgets over the next four years in order to pay for the massive humanitarian effort.

The latest figures from City Hall show that 34,800 asylum seekers are being housed in 104 emergency shelters and eight Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers. More than 56,000 have filtered through the Big Apple within the last year.
