One Blue City Has 'Run Out of Room' for Illegal Immigrants

Late last month, Townhall covered how Denver officials announced that it would begin limiting the number of days illegal immigrants can stay in its shelters and will send those who overstay out onto the streets. This came after it was revealed that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, a Democrat, indicated that the city needed to prepare for cuts in the 2024 budget to handle the illegal immigrants. 

Now, another blue city that has taken in thousands of illegal immigrants will soon reach it’s breaking point. 

In an interview with Fox News, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that the Big Apple has run “out of room” for illegals. 

"Our hearts are endless, but our resources are not," the mayor told Fox Nation. "It's not like New York is not saying we are not a city of immigrants. We are. We have a rich history of immigrants, but we can't take the global problem and it become our problem. That is unfair to New Yorkers, and is unfair to migrants."

"We're not just saying we're out of room as a soundbite. We're out of room, literally. People are going to be eventually sleeping on the streets," he added. 

In the interview, Adams explained that even if an illegal immigrant commits crimes, authorities are not able to turn them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

"The law states that we cannot notify I.C.E. I cannot break the law and enforce the law. I can't deport. I can't stop people from coming in, repeated criminal behavior, I can't report to I.C.E. for deportation. So there's certain things I can't do,” Adams said. 

Late last year, Adams slammed the Biden administration’s handling of the border crisis, stating that the money supporting the illegal immigrants in the Big Apple is “coming out of the pockets of the New York City taxpayers.”

“We receive a little over $100 million dollars from the federal government. The rest is coming from New York City taxpayers,” Adams said, adding, “On this issue, I believe the White House is wrong. We cannot allow cities to go through this and carry the weight of a national process.”
