Norwegian Cruise Line says NYC reached out to house migrants on cruise ship, final deal not yet made
FOX News ^ | October 1, 2022 | By Andrew Mark Miller , Louis Casiano

Norwegian Cruise Line confirmed on Saturday that New York City has approached the company inquiring about using a cruise ship to house an influx of illegal immigrants to the city but said no deal has yet been reached.

The New York Post reported this week that Adams was finalizing a deal with the cruise line to house the influx of migrants for six months so they can be processed before being housed by the city’s shelter system.

The report estimated that 15,500 illegal immigrants have poured into the nation’s largest city since May as illegal immigration at the border continues at a record pace with over 2 million migrant encounters by Customs and Border Protection this fiscal year.

The plan to house migrants on the cruise ship is reportedly a cheaper option than the multiple tent cities Adams has erected to handle the surge.

"We're not going to leave any stone unturned. And once we finalize our plans, we're going to announce it," Adams said earlier this week about the cruise ship idea. "We're not, it's not going to be any surprise is once we finalize how we're going to continue to live up to our legal and moral obligation, we're going to announce."

Have them put out to see and send Bill Burr with his submarine after them with his submarine.

Scene: A government round table.

Let's do our best to spread Covid before the fall election. Housing illegals on a cruise ship could do the trick.

KISS that ship goodbye.

It will be damaged beyond repair with such tenants.

Cool. Sail those ships back to Central America and drop ‘em off.

A bad idea. No winners except for the elite.

Just deport them is the best solution.

I would never use that cruise line again if they do that. They can move that f-boat to Mexico and house them there.

I think the cruise company is already suffering with fewer tourists showing up....any cash flow would be helpful. I’m sure the cruise company has a insurance policy to cover damages, and the city probably is paying 90-percent of that cost.

This will be the path forward, until some day in 2024....the vessel catches on fire, and sinks at the pier.

They’re not migrants and this country has no obligation to do anything for them except send them back where they came from.

A bad idea.


I don’t know. A cruise ship has accommodations for thousands, cooking, dining, and some recreational facilities, all ready to take on ‘passengers’. While the ‘guests’ can trash their rooms, they aren’t going to be poking holes in the walls. Historically, many nations have found that old hulks make excellent, hard-to-escape from prisons.

On the other hand, someone could start a fire in a cabin while barbecuing and we’d have a ‘national tragedy’ on our hands.

Where are the other two million illegals working - the ones NOT sent to New York, Chicago and Martha's Vineyard by Republican Governors?

Biden's thugs have hidden them somewhere...

Maybe Chinese owned food processing plants?

Dear Norwegian Cruise Lines, don’t be idiots. That ship will get trashed.

Partner, who is going to foot the bill.

Will it be the Taxpayer in this country.

This uncontrolled immigration has its limits and we reached that limit a long time ago.

It is the Taxpayer and we have had enough of this nonsense.

1966: Crime-ridden high rise housing projects

2022: Floating housing projects

At least you might be able to flee a high rise.

Nothing is ever learned by the left.

Gee, I wonder if they will still have the Midnight Buffet and a Mariachi band on the Lido Deck? Maybe some shuffle board?
