Queens is taking the largest share of migrants into emergency shelters set up by the city — fueling what the borough’s president on Thursday called a “powder keg” of crises and creating a “recipe for a social and economic disaster.”
Queens was housing 4,782 migrants, or 32% of the total 14,777 placed in emergency shelters as of Wednesday, according to data compiled by the Department of Homeless Services and obtained by The Post on Thursday.
That share is more than one-sixth greater than the 27.3% that Queens residents contribute to the city’s total population, according to 2020 census data.
“It’s a powder keg in Queens at this point,”

They need to get rid of the peacock mayor and calculate how many planes and buses it will require to send them all back to Mexico. Or just leave that corrupt loony bin.

Keep the buses rolling east until NYC has the same numbers as the Texas border towns. Only then will the liberals take immigration seriously.

Re: #1; Just my opinion; It is not Joey but the people who are behind him that are telling him what to do. They, somehow want to destroy the USofA, and they think that this is a good way to do it.
Any politician that allows this to happen even in the slightest way has to be called out as being a part of the guilty party, and should be removed from office under terms of their oath to protect the Country when they were sworn into the office. They are NOT abiding by their oath that they swore to. They are just a bunch of selfish, self-centered assh*les that stay there because they are getting to many benefits on our dime and couldn't get a viable job elsewhere. When will we wake up and insist on TERM LIMITS????

The Waldorf Astoria will soon be open. That would be a good place to house them! New Yorkers have themselves to blame. They voted for this president so live with it! And they will of course like idiots vote for him again!

FTA: 'Richards said not enough resources were sent for the migrants.' That's because all they brought with them is their appetite. and: McDougal, who said she came to the Big Apple from Alabama after her husband died, added: “I should get first priority because I’m a goddamn citizen.” Please understand...King Cretin doesn't care about your kind. If you want to be treated better, go back to Alabama. Migrants go BACK and forth; like Canada geese or Monarch butterflies. Invaders stay, colonize, and multiply. Which is the plan.

Look at the picture. Most of them are looking at their cell phones. Poor? No. Somebody (probably the taxpayers) is footing the bill for cell phone service.

Way too late. There is no going back now. Every single idiot who voted for FJB and these elected officials is to blame for what they've destroyed and for the hell hole they've created.

Chances are, if the true numerical facts about the illegal alien populations in New York City were known, that they would add up to over a million mostly all poor and uneducated people from all over the world. So the few thousands of illegal aliens now arriving from the border States are in reality just another drop in the illegal alien population bucket in New York City. The leftist Democrat politicians in New York could really care less about how many illegal aliens sojourn in New York as they consider them to be future leftist Democrat supporters and eventually voters.
What those New York Democrat politicians are doing now is trying to get Biden and the DC Democrats to send them as much federal money, in the billions of taxpayers dollars, supposedly to care for the needs of illegal aliens including paying Democrat favored hotels up to $400.00 a night to house illegal aliens. You can also safely bet, based upon past history, that those New York Democrat politicians will skim off a percentage of whatever federal money they get through Democrat inner city public corruption activities. So far it appears they have been apparently unsuccessful in getting money from Biden and the DC Democrats, obviously because Biden and the DC Democrat’s first priority is trying to win the upcoming election and keep control of the Congress.

Two million illegal let in THIS YEAR by Evil Joe, and these fools are freaking out over 1/4 of 1% of them? 5,000 in a metro area of 8 million?
How about border towns of a few thousand Americans overloaded by 20,000 in a month??
Close the border.
DEPORT ALL illegal aliens.

14,777 illegal immigrants have found their way to NYC? Either those are some mighty big buses coming out of TX and FL or someone besides those two governors has been flying them under the radar into the area since the invasion began. Wonder who that might be?

FTA: ''The DHS figures show that The Bronx and Manhattan have also taken in more than their fair shares of migrants, based on their percentages of the city’s total population of 8.2 million.''
Really? I was wondering, what is the ''fair share'' of the southern border states? You don't like it when reality kicks you in the butt, right Noo Yawk? You were all for the sanctuary crap before the illegals showed up for sanctuary, right?

New Yorkers get the government they vote for. That is the way it works. If you do not like the policies of your elected officials, do not vote for them. We have learned that lesson out here in flyover country and we want no part of the misery and chaos that comes with democrat leadership. Lawlessness makes for a very dangerous community and yet, the leadership in democrat controlled cities knowingly enact policies that put voters at risk. Frankly, I just can’t muster up any sympathy for people who vote for their own destruction. Sometimes it’s better to let them feel the painful consequences of their choices. When you vote for a party that is a destructive corrupt force, don’t be surprised when it does not go well for your family.
For all the bragging of being progressive, open minded and welcoming of the insane democrat policies, their cities look like war zones and violence is all around them. Democrats created the misery, violence and chaos and now their supporters complain about its impact on their lives. The solution is simple, stop voting for your own destruction. I have neither patience or frankly sympathy to offer. Wise up and understand that as long as democrats control the government, people will suffer.

Lefties are such shallow thinkers. They're all for open borders. And then when it hits them, they become outraged. Stupid people.

What do they think the 5 million Biden has let into Texas the last 2 years is doing to Texas. They know. It is intentional. Biden is trying to destroy Texas. Texas has a huge energy economy, so Biden is shutting that down, while bringing in millions of illegals. The public schools, hospitals, and public services have been completely taken over by illegals, citizens having to look elsewhere, rather unsatisfying as citizens built and paid for all the public services, and are having to continue to pay to maintain them.

Not 'sometimes,' #20, ALL the time. It's called 'growing up.'
