New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday demanded the federal government help pay for what he said was a wave of asylum seekers pouring into the city, claiming its safety net was being strained by busloads of people coming from border states and elsewhere.
Adams’ comments echo those of Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who took to national TV Sunday morning to say her city’s homeless shelters were filling up because of buses being sent en masse to the city from Texas and Arizona.
But as opposed to D.C., the problem in New York City is exacerbated by its “right to shelter” mandate, which means any homeless asylum seeker who comes to town, by any means, has to be put in a bed somewhere.
“Currently, New York City is experiencing a marked increase in the number of asylum seekers who are arriving from Latin America and other regions. In some instances, families are arriving on buses sent by the Texas and Arizona governments, while in other cases, it appears that individuals are being sent by the federal government,” Adams said in a statement, adding that more than 2,800 asylum seekers had entered the shelter system in recent weeks.
But the offices of both Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey denied Adams’ claim, saying in separate statements that they were in fact sending asylum seekers to Washington – but not to New York City.
In turn, a spokesperson for Adams responded to those pushback claims, saying that the governors “should have more compassion for those seeking asylum in this country,” and repeated the city’s request for federal assistance.

EXCLUSIVE: Today at an internal meeting CEO Howard Schultz said: "Starbucks is a window into America… we are facing things in which the stores were not built for… we're listening to our people and closing stores, & this is just the beginning. There are gonna be many more. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/E9ayQqSmB8

This is absolutely beautiful!!! Leftists the world over frequently escape the policies that THEY vocally support and often contribute $$$$ to. Now that such policies are being shoved in their faces, front-and-center, they start complaining.

“This is absolutely beautiful!!!”
I have to agree, I’ve been enjoying this Democrat shit-show immensely. It shows what conservatives can do when they decide to be proactive instead of always reactive.
Wasnt Howard Schultz the guy who came up with the brilliant slogan “Sh*t here anytime you want, you dont need to buy anything.” ??
Yup.
My wife frequented a Starbucks within walking distance from her school in Oakland. A good neighborhood in Oakland (if there’s such a thing). There was a group of homeless people who camped out at the entrance to that Starbucks, who … yeccch … used the facilities within. They panhandled my wife every time she entered the store, despite her politely declining day after day. They KNEW she would say no … but still harassed her at every visit.
That Starbucks was closed down in 2019 … before the pandemic.
But too stupid to ever admit or understand that they were wrong to support liberal policies.
Noticed how he deftly steered the blame to city failures which would make him half right. Wokester Schultz had a bathroom policy that contributed to those Starbuck closures as well.
people like Schultz created this problem by their voting habits and personal ideology. then they act surprised when it finally comes to a head because the experiment has gone terribly wrong.
The owner of Starbucks is the best example of someone being filthy rich despite being dumber than a rock.
There is close to zero relation between financial success and IQ.
It is 99.9 % luck.
Dorsey, the ex owner of Twitter, is another great example of someone dumb as a rock but richer than God.
There is close to zero relation between financial success and IQ.
Yup. Over the years, I made more money from my investments than I ever did working as an engineer.
Investing in the stock market doesn’t require a high-falutin’ education nor a stratospheric IQ. A bit of common sense, some luck, and a lot of patience (as in “hurry up and wait”) are the minimum requirements.
Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to subscribe to your (investment) newsletter.
Start by doing your homework. Read a company’s annual report, focusing on its financial statements. (A Ph. D. isn’t required to do that.) Firms that are obvious clunkers will soon become apparent, having poor balance sheets as well as high debt-to-equity ratios. I’ve avoided any outfit that’s in hock over its ears.
Again, it’s not necessary to be a candidate for Mensa membership to come to those conclusions.
That still doesn’t guarantee that an investment’s going to make money or, if it does, when or how much. For example, I bought stock that looked good but didn’t do anything in the year or so that I owned it. I sold close to my purchase price and put that cash to better use with something else.
I remember reading a book by a well-known investment advisor (Peter Lynch, I think) and in it, he stated that if one can’t easily explain what a company does to a child, perhaps one shouldn’t buy its stock. Makes sense, doesn’t it?
Luxury beliefs (ideas and opinions that confer status on the rich at very little cost, while taking a toll on the lower class) have consequences.
Who cares if a Starbucks shuts down?
Only the latte sipping leftist intelligentsia.
More and more we are seeing the hard right turn these folks make when their luxury beliefs brought into policy adversely impact their lifestyle. Look at the European energy crisis.
Harder. Faster. Please
Wait. I thought libs love illegals?
So whats the issue.
The funny thing is that the “government has infinite OPM to spend on whatever it wants crowd” seem to think that Texas and Arizona are forcing the illegals onto buses, but the illegal invaders are more than happy to hop onto a bus for a long ride to a sanctuary city that provides them services no matter what.
Proving once again the maxim “If you want more of something (homeless, poverty, illegal immigrants) subsidize it, if you want less of something (housing, profitably businesses, nuclear families) tax it”
Would not surprise me if DC was taking the illegal immigrants from Arizona and Texas and placing them on busses to NY.
Brilliant move by Abbott. Brilliant.
Just get the rich Democrats in NYC to:
a) open up their second apartments.
b) open up their summer homes
c) open up their primary residences
There’s lots of room.
“Eric Adams on Tuesday demanded the federal government help pay for what he said was a wave of asylum seekers pouring into the city, claiming its safety net was being strained..”
What do they need a safety net for? I was told they were the backbone of the economy.
Brought to you by Texas.
It is all part of the plan. In Compton, California, the Imported Hispanic population (and their gangs) drove the useless ghetto gang-bangers out of town to create a peaceful, profitable community. Since the traditional businesses are leaving the no longer useful city, it is a good time to bring in the replacement population whose job is to clean out the trash. Newark, Jersey City and the old mill towns are going to love their new population, the refugees from the City. Let New Jersey carry the burden of the useless and violent.
StarBucks closing…??
Who gives a shit.
A Meeting place for the upper crust snooty snobby Wokeratti…to be served by recent 4 yr (also snooty snobby), graduates of some Women’s/Gender Bending Studies or other such utter University BS.
Over priced java IMO.
ZERO loss to humanity
In NY city ya say eh.?? Ha..!! Happening in every Demonrat run City I’m assuming.
PEFECT – what goes around damned well comes around, no.?
“should have more compassion for those seeking asylum in this country,”
That’s a short way to say “we want these dangerous unvetted invaders to invade Texas, not New York!”
