According to reports, the liner would be leased for six months to house and process migrants before they enter the city's shelter system, allowing migrants to come and go while staying on the ship. "President Biden's decision to end barrier construction, reverse "Remain in Mexico," and withhold resources from our Customs and Border Protection Agents has led to an influx of millions of migrants from over 60 countries at our southern border. We've said all along that Biden's lax-immigration policies would turn every town into a border town, and that's exactly what's happening in New York City. Instead of joining our calls for President Biden to secure our southern border, Mayor Adams is leasing out luxury hotel rooms impacting tourism, planning tent encampments in our public spaces impacting quality of life, and now may even bring in a cruise liner to house migrants off our shores at a tremendous expense to the citizens of New York. New York's "Right to Shelter" law is meant for American citizens in need of temporary assistance, not for millions of people from across the globe to take advantage of. The Mayor should immediately revisit this law and seek clarification that the city is not required to house citizens of other nations. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T03:20:33Z |
