It Begins… Texas Sends More Migrants to NYC

and know this I will continue to bust

those migrants to Sanctuary cities

across the United States of

America but oh they're going to New York

trust

me so this could be a huge problem

because as you can see from the lines

behind me thousands are still arriving

here in New York City every single week

yet local residents are pressuring the

city to shut down several shelters that

they say are inhumane which means if

Texas makes good on this threat the next

folks to arrive will have nowhere to St

but on the street from the outset

community groups did not like the idea

of usurping 8 Acres of ball fields for

3,000 bed migrant shelter it has not

gone away we're still dealing with this

every day as the migrant crisis

continues New York City leaders will not

stop evictions for adult migrants who've

reached their 30 or 60-day shelter limit

a shelter system in New York City was

created to stabilize people this rule

does exactly the opposite the 30 and

60-day shelter eviction roles are some

of the

cruestv fights and reports of illegal

activity the randles Island Park

Alliance says it's time for the city to

fold its tents remove the Cs and hit the

road when you see some of the hypocrisy

of people who are saying bring us your

tired you're weak your huddle masses

yearning to be free but not on my

[Music]

block so the Texas governor has vowed to

send more Asylum Seekers to New York

while calling everyone here A bunch of

Hypocrites but what nobody's talking

about is that mayor Adams recently said

the exact same thing also referring to

New Yorkers as Hypocrites for protesting

some of his shelters saying that the

shelter contribute to violence that they

occupy public resources and that they

are bad for the neighborhoods they're in

but at a recent press conference the

mayor just laughed it all off and what

else is he supposed to do just a couple

of weeks ago when the city tried to

repeal its right to shelter requirements

or modify them so that they wouldn't

have to provide an unlimited number of

people with temporary shelter activists

got upset there were rallies there were

protests there were accusations that the

mayor and his administration were cruel

and heartless and had no Humanity in

their souls even though the city doesn't

have the resources to house the entire

World which is impossible yet activists

were insistent on the right to shelter

applying to everyone which forced the

city to start kicking people out of its

shelters after 30 days just so new

Asylum Seekers could move in which is

something else activists are upset about

they want the shelters to be permanent

forever but since that's not possible

the shelter system is now a revolving

door operation leading many people to

question whether or not the Asylum

crisis is helping the very Asylum

Seekers who are stuck in it and that

brings us to the real reason why we have

an asylum crisis in this city to begin

with and it's because every single time

City lead tried to care for the people

everybody says we want to care for they

get blocked stopped fought against which

is shocking because polling consistently

shows that 80% of New Yorkers are in

favor of right to shelter but the Texas

governor is going to put that to the

test which means we're going to find out

pretty soon where the city stands on

this and know this I will continue to

bust those migrates to Sanctuary cities

across the United States of America

Adams needs something to do but this

crisis is about to come to an end in

just 6 months so this tells us

everything we need to know about why the

Asylum crisis is the way it is and it

also reveals that this entire crisis

isn't about the people that are coming

to New York City it's about politics and

if New York City is really a sanctuary

for immigrants why are the immigrants

who are here being treated the way that

they are getting kicked out of their

shelters at the same time we've got so

much activism going on here right now

that it is starting to conflict with

itself on the one hand we don't have

enough shelters on the other hand we

need more shelters there's also endless

debate on how long people should be able

to stay in them some people want it to

be forever other people think that the

term limits we have are good because

those limits help the city free up

shelter space for new arrivals who come

every single week and now you've got a

situation where the mayor's extremely

frustrated he's implementing the laws

that were voted for and he's doing it

with the limited amount of resources

that the city has yet he's getting all

the blame for how these things work out

out but the mayor's response to the

Texas governor's threats is one many New

Yorkers will probably appreciate but

before we look at how New York City is

going to respond to this latest round of

threats it's important to understand the

Texas governor says he's going to

continue his bus program as long as the

country's border remains in its current

state that being said the mayor has a

few tools at his disposal to fight back

against another bus program and the

mayor's not taking the Texas governor's

criticism of him or his City lying down

first the mayor's office has called the

governor of Texas a coward for

offloading his problems to somebody else

to deal with and the mayor's office even

went so far as to mention that crime in

Texas under Greg evit has risen

exponentially since he started believe

who you want to on statistics like that

but the Adams Administration said it's

left to pick up the pieces of broken

policies that use people as political

ponds while maintaining that the city's

provided care for over 200,000 people

since this Crisis began in New York but

words aren't the only tool the mayor

plans to use in the face of this in

January mayor Eric Adams announced that

he is suing 17 bus companies for their

role in busing tens of thousands of

migrants from Texas to New York City

since a spring of 2022 today's lawsuit

so last year when Texas started busing

Asylum Seekers here to New York City

there was a massive surge in Immigration

numbers but the city ended up suing the

very bus companies on which those folks

were traveling in order to get them to

stop and this has worked because one of

the 16 companies involved in that

operation says they're not going to do

it anymore and the companies that wish

to continue transporting people here

face a blockade of some sort at the

actual bus terminal and they're limited

to just dropping off guests at one

specific location during specific times

with 48 Hours advance notice and what

used to effectively be a 24-hour 7-Day a

week operation is now limited to just a

few days a week and just a few hours but

here's where things get interesting in

New York it is illegal to transport

someone here so that they can take

advantage of the city's generous right

to shelter laws that's why the city city

thinks they've got standing to sue but

activists are actually upset that the

city shut down the busing program which

was costing the city money caring for

folks who may not have come here if they

weren't given a free ticket the city is

seeking more than $700 million from

these 17 bus companies to cover the cost

of carrying and Sheltering these

migrants as part of the lawsuit the city

was also requiring these companies to

post a monetary bond to start covering

the cost $700 million in Damages related

to care that's crazy but before we go

over why activists are upset the mayor

has been battling this program trying to

shut it down when the program was still

active 4,000 people a week were arriving

in the city those numbers are down

considerably to around 1,300 people a

week but if Texas does start sending

more people here that could change there

are more ways to get into New York City

than a bus that goes straight from Texas

to here you could take a bus part of the

way and then take another bus part of

the way plus there's roads Bridges

trains planes and it may be impossible

for the mayor to completely close off

the city's border to just one person

from one certain part of the world plus

there are people who would say that

that's illegal but wait till you hear

why activists are so upset with the

mayor for shutting down the initial

Texas bus program in the first place

Malo says he is against a lawsuit suing

these bus companies and adds it has made

their job more difficult when trying to

find new arrivals it's a little bit more

difficult for us to to get a grasp as to

where they going to exit so we're still

we're see you know that almost makes it

seem like the number of people coming

here remains unchanged because New York

is such an attractive destination with

so many things to help Asylum Seekers

that people would make the journey here

no matter what and even though it might

look like the mayor's plan to Block

Buses coming in from Texas is a win from

a political standpoint in practice it

means that people who are coming here

just have a harder time doing something

that they already had planned to do when

they left wherever it is they're from

and whereas in the past you had people

arriving at one specific part of this

very specific location now folks arrive

everywhere Penn Station Grand Central

various terminals here roads Planes

Trains and the limited resources that

humanitarians have to help are now being

spread even thinner but now since the

city's going to war with the companies

bringing people here there's no standard

procedure for dropping people off and

humanitarians have no way of knowing

where vulnerable folks are going to

arrive and they're now running around

the city at all hours of the day trying

to track down one person from here or

one person arriving here it's a big mess

and the most insane thing about this is

no matter how people end up arriving the

city's never had any plans to disqualify

someone for applying for shelter so here

we have the city on the one hand winning

points politically but also hurting the

people it's supposed to care for by

making their lives tougher and if Texas

does decide to resume sending larger and

larger amounts of people to the city and

if the city continues resisting those

efforts by just making the journey

tougher while still offering the help

people the city is just going to end up

wasting the little resources that it

says it has and speaking of resources

the city's shelters are now so full you

have lines of people waiting to see if

the shelter system will reaccept them

for a place to stay because they've

started kicking people out can you

believe that shelter evictions in a

sanctuary City while at the same time

you've got activists in syst that the

people who have been evicted should be

allowed to stay forever and that we may

have too many shelters in the first

place which makes this the most

confusing development of this story so

far so behind me this is the line to get

into the reticketing facility at this

place everyone who's been evicted from a

shelter can get a plane ticket bus

ticket or help with a ride sharing app

to the destination of their choosing but

the reason there's a line here is

because evictions have started which has

activists fuming yet other activists are

upset that we have as many shelters as

we do for some reason the city says they

have to place these shelter limits

because they don't have room for

everyone just last week the city

received more than 1300 new arrivals

that's not going away so everyone

watching this knows the evictions are a

bad idea because they lead to what you

see back here but New York City's laws

stipulate that everyone gets a place to

stay on a temporary basis even if the

shelter system is full and when you

offer for a limited number of resources

to an unlimited number of people this is

the predictable result in fact the

shelter system is now tasked with doing

something it was never designed to do

the way that the shelter should be

operating is they should allow people to

move in and not force them to move out

until their time has come to its logical

conclusion meaning that they've gotten

the help they need to enter society yet

The Shelter Systems here have people

evicted after 30 days when a work permit

takes a minimum of 6 months and

obviously this is something that people

should be and are upset about but it's

bringing up a question is this the

city's only option they've got a lot of

resources but are they doing what they

have to do to abide by the law or is

this deliberately cruel we're still

dealing with this every day as the

migrant crisis continues New York City

leaders will not stop evictions for

adult migrants whove reached their 30 or

60-day shelter limit critics have called

the policy so here's the thing the

mayor's office spent 6 months with local

activist groups in court going over how

exactly to implement right to shelter

when these conditions persist and

putting up a no V sign on the city's

shelters and turning people away wasn't

an idea that was being considered yet

had the city gone and done that all of

the folks that you see here would have

had enough time in the shelter to get

the requisite assistance yet sadly many

of the folks getting let go that are now

here to plead their case for a shelter

extension are in no better position than

they were when they got here and that's

not what a homeless shelter is supposed

to do people are supposed to be better

when they leave not worse off in fact

part of the problem is that people that

are in line they've filed their Asylum

paperwork they've gotten everything set

up with a case worker but since Federal

Work authorization can take 6 to 8

months they're now waiting for that to

happen they can't provide for themselves

on their own and the second problem

we've got here is that since right to

shelter applies to the entire world a

potentially unlimited number of people

critics say this means nothing can ever

be done to address capacity issues at

the city's limited shelter resources

which is why we've got revolving

evictions which help nobody and what's

upsetting is that after 6 months of

negotiations this is the compromise

solution that we got right to shelter

Remains the law of the land yet it only

applies on a temporary basis and this is

the result yet now many of the very same

people who are in favor of the creation

of this very same system are now

activating against it calling the

mayor's actions cruel and inhumane

saying he's doing something wrong when

this is what was agreed on and a judge

is overseeing it people said it's

inhumane to put people out during the

winter time so now they say it's

inhumane to do it in the summertime it's

Humane to do in the springtime it's

inhumane to do in the fall time it's

always inhumane to have to not be able

to House

198,000 people unfortunately this is

what we see every single time the city

does anything if they need to build a

shelter somewhere there are always

protests there is always local push back

and then if people can't stay in the

shelter there's push back if new people

come and they don't have a place to stay

there's push back and as you'll soon see

even with lines of people on the street

there are still some people advocating

for certain shelters to go away entirely

which would just create more of this

which is very interesting because recent

polling shows that 80% of New Yorkers

are in favor of right to shelter just

not apparently when there is a shelter

or a facility in their particular

neighborhood that's always the wrong

location for some reason which reveals a

very dark secret underneath all of this

supposed compassion that's supposed to

be helping people and might not

be mayor Adams implied that the randles

island group was like all the other

elected officials who want migrants

taken care of just not where they live

when you see some of the hypocrisy of

people who are saying bring us your

tithe you're weak your huddle masses

yearning to be free but not on my

block so mayor Adams starting to sound a

lot like the Texas governor in some ways

but it seems like he's just abiding by

the laws of the land that New Yorkers

voted for and how else is the mayor

supposed to House people who come here

by the thousands every single month as

we're seeing there's no great solution

for how to do that and if this is

something many New Yorkers have a

problem with why aren't they voting for

change I will explain to you why that is

it's because activism for the sake of

activism has taken over much of

progressive America including New York

and that's what you're witnessing here

and unfortunately for many people

including legitimate activists activism

itself is now a fashionable Trend going

on in America earlier this week a New

York City council member shahana hanf

reintroduced a bill that would end

shelter stay limits all New Yorkers no

matter when they've arrived deserve

Equity not harm a public hearing so here

we have people protesting shelter stay

limits which obviously are a bad idea

because they put people back out on the

streets before they're ready but

remember these are the very same people

who were rallying just a month or so ago

in order to keep the city's right to

shelter rules in place at all costs and

what the city's revolving door shelters

have done is they've created a situation

of bad outcomes no matter how you slice

it which means there's always something

to fight against and get angry about yet

the mayor and other city leaders are

starting to figure out that the more

they cave to various forms of activism

the more they create other opportunities

for activists to get upset because

there's no perfect solution to a

humanitarian crisis bigger than what the

city's able to deal with and to help

make sense of why this is the case

understand that when this crisis first

started unlimited shelter stays were how

everything works and then what ended up

happening is the shelters filled up so

what does the city do they go out and

they build new shelters to house more

people yet those shelters are cruel and

inhumane and although these shelters

might not be perfect the mayor even went

out of his way to mention that he didn't

want to use these humanitarian relief

centers because they're not the same as

an actual standing building but because

right to shelter Remains the law of the

land the mayor had no choice but to

build those facilities while being

accused of having no soul by those who

don't seem to understand that the city

has limited resources on top of that

look every single time the city picks a

location for a new shelter maybe like an

abandoned school or something somewhere

there are protests which means that the

same activists who are protesting the

tent shelters are also the reason tent

shelters are all we can have and what

this means is that the city will

perpetually be between a rock in a hard

place every time it tries to obey the

law and observers are now suggesting

that this type of mass protest against

any and all government action no matter

what it is is the reason this crisis

looks the way that it does and it's the

reason that the people in it aren't

being treated the way that they probably

should be but the real problem here is

that people aren't just getting kicked

out after 30 days and told to go fend

for themselves since they can't do that

they are still 100% Reliant upon the

city and upon the state to care for them

and even though to some people it looks

like the right decision may have been to

temporarily suspend the right to shelter

and do the right thing by every single

person that was living in a shelter

there would have been protests if that

happened because it would have stopped

the flow of Asylum Seekers to the city

but now that Asylum Seekers can come as

often as they want the city is being

protested because it just simply doesn't

have the ability to help everyone the

way that it knows it should which is why

some people say we're now watching the

idea of protesting and making a

difference Eclipse reality and

consequence meaning that all of this

activism against the mayor's every

single move might be making the problem

much worse for the very people who are

stuck in it and can't get out is that

what's happening is New York turning

into a city of activists who protest

every single decision no matter what it

is just because they aren't the ones who

made it let me know what you think thank

you so much for watching I will see you

in the next video
