Eric Adams wants FEMA to ban cities from busing migrants to NYC — as 1,300 arrive this week alone
[NYPOST] Mayor Eric Adams wants the Federal Emergency Management Agency to stop other states from shipping migrants colonists to New York City — as the number of asylum seekers arriving in the Big Apple surged to 1,300 over a three-day stretch this week, sources told The Post Thursday.
Sanctuary City™, Bitch!
A "frustrated" Adams made the plea during an internal budget briefing Wednesday, complaining that FEMA should crack down on cities using federal grant money to move migrants colonists to New York so the Big Apple doesn’t become more burdened by the cost of aiding them, sources with knowledge of the meeting said.

"There was an issue about the FEMA money that other places are getting that they can use that money to rent buses. Why are we giving money to send people to different cities?" a source said of Hizzoner’s plea.

Adams’ complaints came after a three-day stretch from Sunday, April 23 to Wednesday, April 26 in which 1,300 migrants colonists came to New York City. That was part of a surge of 2,300 that came in the week since April 19.

In that same time, eight new emergency shelters opened up to cater to the growing influx, according to the data, though it wasn’t immediately clear where in the city they are located.

Adams, who last week blasted the White House for turning its back on NYC, has repeatedly begged the federal government for help — warning that the financial burden of sheltering asylum seekers is threatening the city.

#1 But what if these lovely people wish to go to NYC? Is Mayor Eric Adams suggesting FEMA adopt an Apartheid arrangement ?

#4 Seems I remember a recent rally of aristocrats and bath house attendees all proud of their ¡bienvenido! signs.

Of course that does nothing for the French speakers and illiterate, but virtue signaled and policy set. Congratulations on solidifying the New York City Brand.
