IT'S A PROBLEM! Empire State Dems Say Migrants a 'Serious' Problem; Poll

A new Sienna College Research Institute survey found that 75% of Empire State Dems see New York’s migrant crisis as a “very serious” or a “somewhat serious” problem, with 47% of the respondents saying it’s dire and 28% saying it’s somewhat consequential.

The migrant crisis has crippled the Big Apple, resulting in Mayor Eric Adams announcing drastic cuts to city services to cover the cost of the billion-dollar problem.

The New York Police Department will freeze hiring to bring numbers below 30,000 by the end of fiscal year 2025 from over 33,000.

“Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to,” Adams said in September. “I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month.”

75% of NY Dems say recent influx of migrants to the state is a "serious" problem.

About half say it's "very serious" and agree w/ statement that state has "already done enough for new migrants and should now work to slow the flow of migrants to New York."

From Fox News:

Adams has urged wealthy individuals in the area to open their wallets to help the city weather a financial storm created by the ongoing crisis just days after the city unveiled deep budget cuts.

“This is a moment where it’s an all hands on deck moment,” Adams told a Police Athletic League lunch last Friday, according to the New York Post.

“The way it goes, New York goes, America goes, but I’m going to need you more than ever to support many of these organizations like PAL, Robin Hood Foundation, and others,” he said. “A moment where our philanthropic interests must align with some of the gaps and services that we are seeing today.”

Adams also reportedly urged New Yorkers to “reach out to Washington, D.C.” and demand more support for the city, which he says is a “national crisis.”
