Burgeoning migrant crisis in the Big Apple
Staten Island residents living near a controversial shelter for recent migrant arrivals are agitated at Adams' handling of the current crisis, and his response to it.
Scott Herkert, a resident in the area, said, "They're (City Hall) doing everything in secret, and when they do say something, it's all lies.
He added, “We have a mayor who at one point was welcoming migrants in, who now says the migrant influx is going to destroy New York.”
Another resident, Margie, raised questions over the worsening situation. "I don't know if this is the mayor personally attacking Staten Island because it's a Republican borough."
“They are pumping money into a facility that is flooding and falling apart, and they have to bus them all out again if the court rules it shut down. The mayor has never come to the shelter to take a look.”
The migrant crisis continues to unfold, with more than 116,000 people arriving in the five boroughs over the past year, reports MEAWW.
