New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that over 90,000 migrants have come to the city since April, 2022, during a meeting on Wednesday.
Adams also announced that migrants living in the city's shelters will have 60 days to find permanent housing or risk losing their shelter.
"We have reached full capacity…we have no more room in the city." Adams said.
The city will try to deter migrants at the border by distributing flyers saying, "There is no guarantee we will be able to provide shelter and services to new arrivals," "Housing in NYC is very expensive," and, "Please consider another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S."
The rate of migrants entering New York City shelters has remained high. Over 2,000 migrants entered the city's shelters last week, according to New York City Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Anne Williams-Isom.
Adams criticized the practice of states shipping migrants to New York and other large cities.
"This has now become a playbook that many of our bordering states are carrying out. Using a funnel system, funneling asylum seekers and migrants to New York City…This cannot continue, it's not sustainable and we're not going to pretend as though it is sustainable."

Seems NYC didn't think they would have to do anything when they passed their resolution declaring themselves a Sanctuary city in 2020.
That backfired on them.
It was virtue signaling.
They tried to claim what they thought was the moral high ground; and preach at southern border states.
It came back to bite them in the ass hard.
NYC is getting what it deserves
Mayor Adams had a news conference and was asked whether he’s concerned about New York’s right-to-law-shelter law being violated, Adams said, “I don’t have the luxury to sit back. I just really need people to understand, every day this team is figuring out ‘Where do we put the next body?’”
To him, these migrants are just bodies, nuisance bodies in the way.
And in NYC there are a lot of "bodies!"
Like feral cats?
Homless people belong in shelters. Illegal migrants belong on the other side of the border.
You know Democrats place more value in illegals than American citizens.
All the sanctuary cities are fine with being a sanctuary city, until immigrants start showing up. Martha's Vineyard being a prime example. You think NYC hasn't thought about how to transfer some out without being caught at it?
Deal with it suckers
They tried.
I like the CNN story that talks about 4 months to get a work permit. He doesn't say anything about what happens if they don't. I guess that would become someone elses problem since I have a feeling he wouldn't be taking them back.
