Mayor Eric Adams claims that the price of providing treatment for asylum seekers has increased to $12 billion

The cost of assisting asylum seekers in New York City has risen to an amazing $12 billion, according to Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday.

Without assistance from federal or state leaders, he said, he would be forced to make impossibly difficult decisions about eliminating local services.

Whenever the mayor of among the most caring communities on earth declares that the financial disaster he is experiencing is so high that in addition to reducing city services, he is also closely examining each dollar used for the asylum seekers to identify ways to reduce costs, you’re aware that things are terrible.

“It may be anything as straightforward as dinner. If we could cut the cost of the meals by one or two bucks. If we could reduce our laundry expenses—you know, the numerous sheets that need to be washed—that would be great. If we could cut back on paper towels. Adams stated, “We are looking everywhere for ways to reduce the expenditures associated with the asylum seekers.
