@zigzag4462 Of course everyone complains. Everyone is complaining all the time because this is the pumpkin spiced cool aid they've been drinking since 2016. But we can be better than that, because the world is watching when the USA behaves this way.
Yes, NYC does have room. We also have room for housing NYers with more affordable housing. Truly affordable housing solves most homelessness. Not all, but most. We need the city council to create a real affordable housing plan, especially to address the many units that are being warehoused keeping rents artificially high. But the real estate industry in NYC contributes GENEROUSLY to political campaigns, so.... Frankly, I'm not in love with Addams, not the best mayor we have had, a bit overwhelmed by the scope of running an immense international city. I actually liked Addams when he was Brooklyn Borough President, now not so much.
So a rookie mayor basically now gets a federal immigration mess dumped on our doorstep because Abbott and DeSantis are doing badly in their reelection campaigns. And they don't have the professionalism to make a phone call first. Hey, we have 50 refugees who we cannot house. Can you help? Then Addams can talk to a hotel that still has vacancies since the pandemic. And remember that border states receive federal funds for immigration services, so Texas should share those funds if they can't do the job. And why isn't Abbott calling republican governors for help?
Sorry this turned out to be so long....super complex issue. Be well.

@dobsr1184 Texas as a border state receives funds from the federal government to assist with immigration services. If they don't want to provide the service, they should return the money. Did Florida taxpayers approve the use of their funds to move Texas refugees? Hmm...
Also, one or two phone calls to the mayor of Boston would have been an act of professionalism. We have 50 refugees seeking asylum who we cannot house, can you help? Okay, a bunch of phone calls, one or two lawyers, a hotel owner who hasn't been doing well since the pandemic, one or two social workers, we can be ready for them in 12 hours. Down the road, some career counselors and a few restaurants who are understaffed in this tight worker shortage, a local public health clinic, maybe even a public school administrator. But that's not what was done. No notice given, just drop them off and say good luck. That's what the coyotes do. Many were told they were going to Boston, not a small beach town in off season. These are governors? Really?
