New York City Spending an Eye-Popping Amount on Illegal Immigrants Every Day
“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.”
The amount of money that New York City is spending per illegal immigrant per day is stunning. The word ‘unsustainable’ has been thrown around since the beginning of this crisis, but it’s absolutely appropriate.
In fact, this is beyond unsustainable. It’s obscene.
The Washington Examiner reports:
New York City spends $387 per migrant per day to provide shelter and food
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.
$387 X 7 = $2,709 per week
$2,709 X 4 = $10,836 per month
There are millions of hardworking American citizens who live on less than half that amount each month.
The New York Post recently reported that illegals in NYC are being offered free plane or bus tickets to leave the city for other destinations but that most of them are not accepting the offer. Is there any wonder why?
Here’s why NYC migrants aren’t accepting free plane, bus tickets out of town
Migrants booted from the Big Apple’s overflowing shelter system on Tuesday said they’re turning down the city’s offer for free plane or bus tickets out of town because it’s too hard to start over elsewhere.
Of the more than two dozen asylum seekers The Post spoke to outside an intake center in the East Village, most said they preferred to stay put and try their luck in New York City — even if it meant going more weeks without a shelter bed.
“Why leave here and start all over?” said Jesus Hernandez, 40, of Venezuela, adding he expects to wait four days to a week to find out about where he’ll be living next.
Some joked the dating scene is what’s keeping them here.
“I want job. I want to stay. I want wife too,” said one Senegalese migrant, who didn’t want to be named.
The Post spoke to asylum seekers and staff at the former St. Brigid’s School on East 7th Street after it was revealed fewer than 2% of migrants there were willing to relocate to another city or state after maxing out their 30-day shelter stay.
“I haven’t heard of anyone taking the ticket,” said an employee at the intake center, who didn’t want to be named.
There is a reason this issue has eclipsed the economy as a top issue for the 2024 election.
American citizens have every right to be mad as hell.

Visitors coming to NYC will easily spend twice that amount. Why is NYC trying to shortchange the visitors they invited?
Surely Adams is misreading this whole situation. Migrant invaders actually help the economy, providing diversity and strength, and contribute way more than they cost. Adams needs a Come to Jesus meeting with Joe Jimmies, to get this explained to him. Meanwhile, we should help by sending him moar diversity and strength.
“I want job. I want to stay. I want wife too,”
Keep talking like that and you will never be allowed in the Democrat party. They may even deport you.
Dems forcing black americans to the back of the waiting line behind illegal aliens??
smh
From the viewpoint of productive members of society having ever-increasing amounts of money lifted from their wallets by people with badges and guns, the amount confiscated is still the amount confiscated. Where it goes is not a factor; it is still taken from the productive by force.
I am a retired 911 paramedic, I would love to be able to live on $10,000 per month.
I said that incorrectly, I would love $10,000 a month to live on
Sorry
I’m not retired yet but I’d willingly give up my job if the government wanted to hand me $10,836 per month free and clear to live on. No doubt about that.
You forgot to mention the magic words, “tax free”
To live like that you would have to change your name to Juan Valdez.
tax free as well
It’s fun watching the blacks realize that they are being replaced as the democrat minority of choice and that the monies and programs once given over to blacks are now going to the illegal aliens pouring into their blue cities.
Blacks have been out grifted. That and they have been systematically goodwill.
The one thing blacks never learn is that black politicians don’t look out for black people.
There is no such thing as white privilege. There is privilege to be sure, but it is based on who you know rather than the content of your character or the color of your skin.
If blacks really want to know who has privilege, look at who is receiving the vast amounts of taxpayer money and give-aways.
The bureaucrats who run the programs, the NGOs that provide the services, the slum lords who are stacking military aged male invaders 87 deep in basement spaces … and the military aged male invaders.
There’s your privilege De’Quan and Squareesha.
Keep voting for the likes of Biden and AOC, and continue to get ass reamed.
is it possible that the black Americans will be able to break
the mindset and vote against the Dems?
No
Don’t be so sure. Males are figuring out that Uncle Sugar has replaced Husbands.
I suspect that the drift among Male African Americans towards the GoP is just starting.
Yes. By all means parrot the White Nationalist movement;s tenet that all Blacks will never vote against the Democrats. You are working against Trump, who is trying to get more Black votes.
Oh, he’ll get more. But he’ll never get most.
Considering how heavily the Democrats rely on the black vote to sustain their chances of winning it would not take a very large percentage to switch to really damage the Democrats chances of victory. Remember every switched vote is like two votes ( +1 to the Republican and -1 for the Democrat) so even a 10% swing would be huge. Even if all these black voters do is simply not vote that would be a huge negative for the Democrat in any race.
Now add in the potential that Jewish voters could also abandon the Democrats over anti-Semitism issues and the Democrats could be in a world of hurt this election cycle.
Finally once a vote switch takes place it could be a semi-permanent switch. It takes a lot more to get a customer back than to keep them in the first place as the saying goes.
Nice thought. But I doubt it.
A “10 pct swing” of 12 pct of the population is 1.2 pct. That’s def not enough unless it were to all be concentrated in battleground swing states.
Theoretically, every camel’s back will break. Some can hold more straw on their back than others.
Rats continue to pull the cocaine lever long after it stops delivering.
Minority of choice? Or, pets?
Yeah. They might need to learn real skills and get jobs as opposed to bouncing their balls or reciting vulgar poetry to the best of drum machine tracks.
You think this is fun??? Trump needs these Black Americans to vote for him. It is not a joke. Grow up.
Concern troll still concerned. So sad.
I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you that these illegals are simply refusing to leave NYC despite Mayor Adam’s attempts to evict them from the illegal shelters and send them elsewhere.
No, not really shocked or surprised. Why should they leave. The city is at present providing them with everything they need. Food, Shelter, healthcare. The whole lot. There simply isn’t any incentive for them to go at this point.
If you remember the 1960s tv show “Get Smart”, one of Don Adams’ favorite come back lines was “and loving it”. Dems response to anyone pointing out the ‘eye popping amount’ spent on illegals.
(No relation.)
well the city is shutting down wood/coal fired pizza places or
making them spend thousands of dollars on special ventilation systems
so there is that …. but that isn’t a big enough reason to leave.
I am sooo glad, too. We don’t need them in Rural America. They can stay in the cities and bankrupt them.
I agree we, as a Country, don’t want them collecting benefits from rural America where it is unaffordable. But, that being said, how many new congress critters get seated with 5-10 million new souls to count in the various sanctuary cities? If these illegals were all housed in specific congressional wards would a conservative ward turn liberal? Would a liberal ward split and add another congress critter?
Asking for a friend
Yes, by all means, be even more racist here on LI then you have been before. We don’t need Black Americans in rural America, you way. You believe that they should be segregated to live in the cities, with White Only bathrooms and White Only drinking fountains. You are vile.
You aren’t even following the index line at this point. The comment you are replying to is about illegals not Blacks.
JR: “Blacks be so stupid, they need my old white ass to lead them. I be “DA WHITE SAVIOR.”
Me: When did I ever say “blacks?”
Damned moron.
Illegal immigration has been a major issue for years (outside the bubble). What attracted me originally to Trump was when I watched what he said live when he came down the escalator. I think many others were too. Nobody was speaking to that at all, yet it had been affecting everything for years. Now it can’t be hidden by the media or from those that live in the bubble. It’s obvious and in their faces. Huge influx of illegals has a negative impact across the board. Shipping them up to NYC and other liberal bastions was brilliant.
What he said then was appropriate. What nailed it for me, was when a couple of weeks later, he had a press conference and had the families of those killed by illegal aliens there.
Then a couple of weeks later, he fooled the press into attending one, and had the families walk into the press conference!!!
Unfortunately, DJT previously over-promised and under-delivered on the illegal alien issue. Approximately NOTHING was done. Fortunately for him, Biden is SO awful that DJT just has recite the same promises again.
Agreed. BUILD THE WALL!!! I think Trump yelled this at over 100 political rallies. And here we are. With no wall. Nothing will change if he is re-elected.

Concern troll is obvious.
factually, you are incorrect. 500+ miles of wall
Here in Chicago, the Catholic Church offered to house the migrants for free. The City refused.
The spending must be incredible. Plenty of people are getting rich. An aid agency that helps some of our tenants, was super excited by the “new opportunities” the migrants presented. But for the rest of us, this sucks. Our property taxes have increased 15% (and, sometimes, higher), the local government added an addition per cent to our sales tax and all sorts of new taxes and fees are being proposed. Seriously, it’s 25,000 people, what the hell?
Catholic Church has made hundreds of millions on illegals
So have the Lutheran charities. Several of the religious charities lobby. George Bush to allow them to handle things, rather than the government. There’s an easy explanation as to why they wanted this. It makes them richer.
Jesus of Bethleham/Jesús from Honduras- what’s the difference?
In Hebrew: The first is Moshiach. The second is Abaddon.
In Greek: It’s Christos and Apollyon.
In English: One is the Saviour, the other is a destroyer.
Is nobody watching the flow of money, here? Where does it go? The owner of a half-empty building in need of restoration stands to gain the funds to continue to operate, and once the illegals are gone, pay for restoration. The interim damage to the building is irrelevant.
How much are they charging per night? How much are the kickbacks, and what is the route?
To fundamentally transform America.. bad happenings in America today is the result of a fake birth certificate from Hawaii.
EXACTLY.!!!! He is the wizard behind the curtain of the Biden administration…because really, who believes that Joe is running anything??
Joe is the fall guy. Everyone else is judgement proof
Roll up the red carpet at the border and burn it.
Keep those busses rolling NYC asked for this with their generous, obscene benefits.
I want the buses, planes, and whatever, to head south. WAY south. Like Yucatan Peninsula south.
Time to desert and shit down immigration for 40 years again
Only with Trump
There is always a bright side. Those payment receipts make it very easy for Trump’s administration to track them down, which is the toughest logistical part of the deportation process.
George, I’m sorry but the wrong load of boxes got shipped to the shredder and all that information was destroyed. Incredibly, that very evening, we had a power outage and all the files were completely erased.
>>:Those payment receipts make it very easy . . .
What payment receipts is that, exactly. They don’t even have to go to the welfare office to collect their money. All monies are handled automatically through The System™ electronically with little to no oversight on the part of those paying the money. And there certainly are no physical receipts involved in any of it. It’s all done by computers.
But they’re undocumented- how can you tell Juan from another Juan?
I wish that one or more New York City residents / taxpayers would sue the city for this blatant and deliberate misappropriation of taxpayer funds.
The way I see it is that the residents of NYC have no standing to sue as long as the doctrine of ‘contributory negligence’ is in effect
Where is the edit button, I think iPhone is far left
They’ll need to sue a lot more real estate developers to make-up the shortfall.
Eric could buy a lot of bling with that moola.
When the FJB Admin talks about the “newcomers” being the primary boost to the economy… this is probably the conduit…. public assistance and Fed Bucks being spent….not “newcomers” generating income.
The Biden Admin is opening a 200 million facility in Greensboro, NC for illegals mostly males, ages 13 to 17 years old. They will have free housing, food, medical, clothing, school, etc.
The American Hebrew Academy announced that the campus at 4334 Hobbs Road would be leased to the Department of Housing and Human Services (HHS) Administration for migrants.
It will house 800 people and there will be 800 Spanish speaking staff.
HHS currently operates about 200 similar state-licensed facilities in 22 states.
Local NC politician, Mark Walker, released a statement on Friday, saying:
“For the federal government to enter into contracts of over $200 million to house illegals, when our own schools, in Guilford County, are meeting in worn out trailers, is shameful.”
“For the federal government to enter into contracts of over $200 million to house illegals, when our own schools, in Guilford County, are meeting in worn out trailers, is shameful.”
Then raise property taxes to fix your schools. Don’t run to the feds so you can burden the rest of the country to pay for your local schools.
Fur Shure.
The facility consists of 100 gated acres that include 31 buildings of 412,712 square feet, an $18 million athletic center and natatorium, swimming pool, a variety of athletic fields and a 22-acre lake.
Official name: Influx Care Facility (ICF)
I remember what we called those country clubs.
I want job. I want to stay. I want wife too,” said one Senegalese migrant, who didn’t want to be named.
Well come to America, you get it all!
Wonder when they’re going to start handing out wives? C’mon ladies, in the name of inclusiveness, date one our lovely, fresh off the boat invaders. Which may eventually morph into women being assigned a new husband by the regime. Oh joy!
“Migrants booted from the Big Apple’s overflowing shelter system on Tuesday said they’re turning down the city’s offer for free plane or bus tickets out of town because it’s too hard to start over elsewhere.”
Right. We’re supposed to believe that these are the same people who presumably slogged 2,000 miles on sandals to start over in the US in the first place? They sound like snowflakes who rode air-conditioned buses across Central America, or flew Air Biden from SA with free box lunches.
$10k month tax free with healthcare and housing thrown in? I’m quitting my job, heading to Mexico and walking back into the US. Show Me The Money
That’s a reasonable thing to do, sadly.
You’d get to live in a hotel, have all meals paid for, all medical needs paid for, anything you desire paid for and shipped to you by Amazon, plus a debit card regularly refilled at taxpayer expense.
And I’m sure I’m just mentioning the highlights.
Bonus: if you got a job, you’d lose all that. So, whatever you do, never get a job unless you’re getting cash under the table.
Insane that any jurisdiction, federal, state or local, is spending more than $0, ever, on all illegal aliens combined.
Unless they are actually in custody, or being physically deported, taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook to pay ANY of their expenses.
Vote Aarradin for president!
STOP CALLING THEM ILLEGL IMMIGRANTS.
If they are immigrants they are legally here. If they are not legally here they are not immigrants, thei=y are foreign invaders. Makes a big difference. Using this false term panders to the intent to deliberately allow this invasion.
