National Guard members are deployed to New York homeless shelters as migrant surge drives shelter population to an all-time high, while 'Adams' Tent City' - intended for migrants - STILL sits empty
2022-10-28
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • New York City has deployed the National Guard to help with the surging number of migrants in the city, as shelters become strained

  • Despite city shelters being at capacity, Mayor Eric Adams' 'tent city' on Randall's Island remains mostly empty

  • The National Guard reservists will assist with day-to-day operations such as food distribution, but may also be trained in homelessness services

  • The mayor recently declared a state of emergency over the migrant crisis and pledged over $1 billion to the issue
    And where, pray tell, is New York City to find another billion for its strained budget in these troubled times?
  • The Department of Homeless Services in the city reported a new occupancy record this month as a whopping 62,174 people are living in shelters

  • Adams noted that every borough would be 'impacted' by the crisis during a news conference earlier this month

#10  When the red wave hits, start spreading the rumor that any illegal who doesn't self deport will be deported with two broken legs.

Watch the fun.

#9  From the comments in the Mail article -

This is outrageous. National Guardsmen should not be taken from their full time jobs and families to babysit fully grown people who had the wherewithal to walk from Venezuela to the US/Mexico border.

BTW: Is this a step in the direction of declaring a State/National Emergency and justifying the use of Federal Level Enforcement for local policing matters?
