Democrat-controlled cities across the U.S. are facing housing shortages and a "nightmare winter" as migrants continue to arrive in major cities, according to a media report on Friday.
The Politico article, headlined "Democratic cities brace for a nightmare winter housing migrants," detailed the effects of the migrant crisis on New York City and Chicago.
Some cities are facing a worse crisis than others. In "New York, where shelters are also full, the city has taken the extraordinary steps of providing migrants one-way plane tickets to as far away as Morocco and have contemplated handing out tents to newly-arriving migrants so they can sleep in parks," per Politico's report.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, has repeatedly called on the Biden administration to provide aid in dealing with migrants.
Adams, who slashed budgets in multiple departments due to the spiraling costs of the migrant crisis, said Tuesday that the goal is not to have people sleeping on the streets, but the "visible signs of this crisis is going to start to show itself."
Adams said that over 140,000 migrants have come into the city since last year and "thousands are still coming in each week" and numbers are increasing. "Believe it or not, there are migrants and asylum seekers who are saying, ‘We want to sleep on the streets.’ And so people have a right to do so, we need to be clear on that in New York City, because of the city council’s actions people have a right to sleep on the streets that we cannot stop. I want New Yorkers to understand that," he said.
Adams told Fox News Digital in a statement that New York City no longer has the space for migrants.
"As we have said repeatedly, more than 140,000 asylum seekers have come through...

Just wait until FJB turns their EBT cards off.
Then the fun REALLY begins.
I’m hoping for weeks-long blackouts in norther leftist cities in the coldest periods of winter.
I’ve been saying it since midsummer.
These people are not going to be happy mid January in New York
I hear Mexico is very nice
This time of year...
Adios Muchacho.
The kooks tell us many of these “asylum seekers” are fleeing climate change. They sure chose the wrong destination. They should have chosen the NW Territory or maybe the Yukon.
Every single blue city 🌃 🏙 🌆 needs to stop whining. They voted for this, they brought this on themselves.
The liberal sanctuary cities are coming home to roost.
Biden is totally responsible for this. He doesn’t care. He’s getting 4 mansions when he retires no matter how many illegals die in the cold.
And the brainless leftist are able to hold both contradictory 'facts' in their pea brains at the same time...
You reap what you sow. Bring it own, hard and heavy, maybe these leftist rats will learn a lesson.
The shelter half used to be the Army tent, and those of us who used them during the winter and rainy seasons will never forget them.
We probably have warehouses full of them somewhere.
Bus them all to International Falls, MN.
And the Cloward-Piveners shall be Cloward-Pivened
And the mayor says they have a *right* to sleep on the streets.
That's not going to last long when the next nor'easter or Alberta Clipper comes along.
Agreed. It is cognative disonance gone all the way to the summit and thrown completely over the rim.
Shelter Halfs?!?
I’ve got a dozen in my garage Still
In the Box.they definitely are Old School without a floor and Not freestanding Or Bug proof. Kids like them.
Global Warming Deniers
But there is NOTHING stopping the Governor from Ordering every Public Employee to take in 2 migrants to care and feed for and Public Servants and Officers of the Court take in 4.
The US Census Bureau revealed Thursday that the Big Apple’s population is 5.3% lower than it was when the novel coronavirus first hit the country. Over 468,200 people fled the city between April 2020 and July 2022.
Many more have left, so what’s the problem with gaining 140,000? The left (and RINOS) have been begging for immigrants for the workforce for years. NYC residents and the mayor should be thrilled; they got what they wanted! Enjoy!
