New York City is spending about $387 per day per migrant to provide food and shelter to the 64,800 migrants in the city, according to data from NYC City Hall.
February’s number is down $5 from an October count when the city was housing 65,400 migrants. That number peaked in November, hitting $391 per day per migrant. These numbers do not reflect the cost of other services like medical care and education.
“In the last two months, Mayor Adams has laid out plans to save billions of taxpayer dollars as New York City manages a national humanitarian crisis, and the numbers show that our efforts are working,” a City Hall spokesperson told The New York Post Tuesday.
He also said the city expects to “save $2.3 billion by next summer.” Mayor Eric Adams is looking to bring the cost per day per migrant down to $352 by fiscal year 2025.
Adams called on city agencies to cut spending to an initial 5% last November — and then a further 5% in January in response to the migrant crisis.
“Commercial hotels are an incredibly expensive way to provide shelters,” Department of Social Services commissioner Molly Wasow Park said.
The average price for a three-night stay in a New York City hotel is $524.
How about putting them back across the border?
This is socialists deliberately breaking the country.
$387 per day?
I could live on less than half that.
And I do....................
$11,000 per month per illegal invader, or $139,320 per year per illegal invader.
Why stay in a country making $2000 a year when you can come to the US and get $139,320 a year and do nothing to earn it but sit on a porch and drink alcohol or smoke dope all day, and get more than $100,000 or more per year more than many seniors, disabled and veterans get?
They aren’t coming here to work, they are coming here for the easy life at taxpayer expense!
Everyday is a different monetary number. Maybe as more come to NYC, more is spent?
The MSM will never, ever report or show that!
By my reckoning that’s over $141,000 per year. That’s a bit more than most Americans are making a year and a lot more than people who paid into Social Security for a lifetime are drawing. But I guess we want to make the ‘newcomers’ feel welcome.
/s
Let em spend it. I hope NY collapses and sinks into the North Atlantic. Any conservatives in that state that votes for our side should get out of Dodge asap and come south to a real southern conservative state. There are several down here still and will fight tooth and nail to remain so.
I could live pretty well on $387 per day.
I’d like to do it outside of NYC, though.
Sounds like they need about 20,000 more.
I agree. But watch Biden and the democrats start funneling even more of our money to subsidize those cities being flooded,
Just reduce the Pay and Benefits of all city employee’s by 10%, problem solved
Well, that’s just stupid. They should be sending the illegal alien parolees to District of Columbia to await their trials. Then they won’t mess up our Congressional Appropriations Census.
[and get $139,320 a year]
I identify as an illegal migrant who arrived in 2008.
So.....$139,320 per year X oh, let’s just say 16 years (calendar)
2.2+ million dollars! Woohoo!
Almost twelve thousand per month per person.
And I just read another article stating that 78,000 NYC residents moved OUT of the Big Apple. Gee, I wonder why...
For $387 they could send them all to California.......................
Congratulations on your recent windfall lol
Send them all the illegals!!
Thank you, thank you.
All of my life I felt like I was trapped in my body when really I was an illegal immigrant with $2.2+ million dollars.
LOL
