The New York Post discovered New York City has spent almost $5,000,000,000 on its illegal alien crisis in 2023 and 2024.
The city might face double that amount in 2025.
How’s this for perspective: The NYPD budget is $5.75 billion.
From The New York Post:
The eye-popping figures, listed on the city’s online asylum-seeker funding tracker, shows the city overall spent $4.88 billion combined through fiscal years 2023 and ‘24. Based on the rate of spending, the city likely exceeded more than $112 million since the start of the new fiscal year beginning July 1, or will soon, cracking $5 billion.Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has even projected the cost could double, hitting $10 billion over the three year period ending June 30, 2025.
The city spent money on:
- $1.98 billion on housing and rent.
- About $2 billion on services and supplies.
- Nearly $500 million on food and medical costs.
- Another $500 million on IT, administrative and other costs.
The NYPD shelled out “$21 million on public safety and security costs amid mayhem breaking out in and around the city-funded” illegal alien shelters.
The Department of Homeless Services has two new contracts for a combined $40 million to contractors to help illegal aliens at hotels the city turned into shelters.
The city has 63,900 illegal aliens at
The Broadway tourist district saw some hotels turned into shelters, too.
This is insane:
Housing Works was awarded a $13.4 million contract to aid migrants at the City View Inn, at 3317 Greenpoint Avenue in Long Island.A worker answering the phone there Tuesday said the City View has been a shelter for “nearly two years” and is still not taking reservations for lodging.The city pays for all the rooms.A second $26.3 million contract was awarded to the DC-based Project Redirect to assist migrants at Spring Hills Suites by Marriott at 140-35 Queens Boulevard.“We’re not functioning at a hotel right now,” a worker there said.
