Officials have confirmed a migrant shelter will be built for 2,000 men on Randall’s Island’s kiddie soccer fields, with construction starting as early as Monday.
The influx of migrants to New York City — including hundreds arriving daily — is “stretching our system to its breaking point and beyond,” Mayor Eric Adams said in a statement.
“It has become more and more of a Herculean effort to find enough beds every night,” he said.
Hizzoner said the state would be “covering the costs” of the shelter’s construction, maintenance and staffing, although officials have yet to say how much that will be.
The city last built a shelter for migrants on the island off Manhattan in October — spending at least $625,000 — only to shut it down within a matter of weeks because of reported lack of use, given its relatively isolated location.

Abbot, fill ‘er up!
Where the Soccer Moms at ?
Is it me or are they just keeping these people like pets?
The problem is, these invaders won’t stay there. Eventually, they’ll make their way to other parts of the US.
Give them rifles and send them to “volunteer” for the Ukraine War.
“An oasis in the middle of New York City, Randall’s Island Park comprises most of an island in the East River, between East Harlem, the South Bronx and Astoria, Queens.”
I bet the locals are just going to LOVE having a bunch of illegals occupying their kids park and sports fields.
Yeah, this ought to be interesting.
.
Texas needs to mobilize the National Guard to drive, fly and put on trains as many illegal aliens as possible to New York. We need to get 200,000 a week transported or more if we can.
It’s really for deplorables in 2024. A mid Atlantic Gitmo for Trump supporters while they await trials.
I hope that the folks of Randall’s Island have someplace else to go. That place is going to be unlivable soon.
Notice that 70 to 80% of these invaders are males 18 to 35.
NYC \o/ RUN we have no clue what we’re doing
Eric Adams is absolutely nuts, catering to these illegal invading criminals like this.
Not “Migrants.” “Replacements.”
yes sir he does. Fill all them soccer fields up, everywhere.

“the shelter’s construction, maintenance and staffing”
Yeah. Because we couldn’t possible inconvenience the illegal freeloading invaders doing the work. An Adams connected company “of color” will get the contracts while the illegals will complain and burn it down in a month.
They want them for the next census.
Mayor should we shine the Batman Light for help?
No, just call Donald Trump, he know how to handle NYC projects on time and under budget….. of course we”ll take all the credit and still continue his court case….
Nothing to worry about I am sure.
