There’s no place like home?

Mayor Eric Adams wants regular New Yorkers to literally welcome migrants flooding the Big Apple by revealing his latest idea to potentially put thousands of asylum seekers into private dwellings while paying local homeowners and landlords.

“It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence” Hizzoner said Monday during a City Hall press conference.

“We can take that $4.2 billion — $4.3 [billion] maybe now — that we anticipate we have to spend and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday, everyday houses of worship instead of putting it in the pockets of corporations.”

“We should be recycling our own dollars,” he added.

I don't think Adams is referring to his own "spare rooms" when he speaks of private residents housing illegal aliens. I think he is talking about the spare rooms of the lower-class citizens. Should anyone volunteer for his proposed program, I hope they first lock up their children and women or else send them out of state for the duration.

I hear that the Hamptons are nice.

that will not end well for some, but why not. NY put covid people in nursing homes after all...and has no remorse for doing so

[Dilbert San Diego]

Any volunteers?

Many people have a spare room in their houses.

Many people might welcome rental income from renting out a room. is that what he has in mind? I’m thinking the city would pay you rent, if you rent a room to the illegals.

is this a socialist type idea? Yes, many people have spare rooms, but they don’t want some strangers living with them.

3RD Amendment prevents that

[Jewbacca]

If the USA is such a white supremecist hellhole why are 90% of immigrants not white flooding the USA?

Guess the Ghetto folk are going to get a little block busting played on them when they lose their section 8 housing to an illegal alien.

[ConservativeInPA]

Does the 3rd Amendment apply to foreign invaders?

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Perhaps Martha’s Vineyard could spare more than 47 hours of ‘cultural enrichment’ this time around.

Hey, Dems....in the history you morons didn’t study....
Maybe filthy illegal aliens are like British soldiers....

Colonists resented the Quartering Act as unjust taxation, as it required colonial legislatures to pay to house the troops. References to the Quartering Act appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the U.S. Constitution.

accommodations the colonists could billet British troops in included “inns, livery stables, ale houses” and other public houses.
from The Quartering Act
Igniting the Powder Keg of War,American Battlefield Trust.

British soldiers had been housed in New York and other American cities but were generally forced to stay in military barracks. In the city of Boston, the placement of British troops constantly was an issue as the city tried to keep them farther from the center of the city, while the British officers pushed to have them closer among the townsfolk.

Relationships between British soldiers and colonial civilians were often tense and occasionally boiled over into violence, especially in Boston. In the most famous incident, on March 5, 1770, after a few heated exchanges, a group of British soldiers fired into a crowd of Bostonians killing five and wounding six in an event that would be branded as the Boston Massacre.

Described by some as “a preference for the Civilian over the Military,” the Third Amendment forbids the forcible housing of military personnel in a citizen’s home during peacetime and requires the process to be “prescribed by law” in times of war.
