Mayor Eric Adams predicts migrant crisis 'will destroy New York City'

Mayor Eric Adams said the migrant crisis "will destroy New York City," explaining how the Big Apple has been receiving 10,000 migrants a month.

Separately Wednesday, Adams announced the transition of an emergency respite site into a new Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Center (HERRC) at Austell Place in Long Island City as the number of migrants currently in the city’s care approaches 60,000, and as more than 110,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since last spring.  Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"As asylum seekers have continued to arrive in New York City at an average rate of more than 2,400 every week, conditions on the ground required that the city transition the site to a large-scale congregate setting for single men," the mayor's office said in a press release. "The humanitarian relief center will start by providing shelter for up to 330 single men, but, once expanded to full capacity, the site will host a total of almost 1,000 asylum seekers."
