The profoundly compromised mayor of NYC Eric Adams, attempted to bus migrants to the sanctuary city of Salina, a suburb north of Syracuse, in upstate NY. Interesting that he is appalled when border states do it, but it’s a different matter when he essentially does the same thing. Apparently, they were to be housed in a Ramada airport hotel, and current guests were asked to leave to make room for 40 families of illegal immigrants. The move comes after NYC declared that they don’t have sufficient space to house the immigrants and are seeking other municipalities in the state to share the burden. Isn’t New York City currently experiencing unprecedented vacancies in commercial office space? I’m sure an executive office suite would be a welcome improvement over a shack in Honduras. NYC, however, is still required to pay for the food, laundry, shelter, security, and case workers for the immigrants, and it appears that the hotel may have cut a deal without the knowledge of the Salina town supervisor. In response, the adjacent county of Onondaga as well as two other upstate counties, obtained a temporary restraining order to prevent the transfer. Stay tuned. My, isn’t virtue signaling much easier when the southern border is thousands of miles away but rather inconvenient when the problem arrives on your doorstep? Like, say, Martha’s Vineyard, for example. So, in essence, New York City taxpayers are willing to pay for the care and feeding of migrants as long as it takes place elsewhere. Yet another classic case of “not in my backyard” and Democrat hypocrisy. And let’s see how long the deep blue voters in Manhattan tolerate this tax burden. And, incidentally, those NYC taxpayers are getting fewer by the minute in their mass exodus from the Big Apple.
